Okay legit I’ve been trying to read this book for a month IT’S GREAT I just haven’t had time to read it 😭 BUT TRUST I WILL GUYS I WILL I WILL I

Fuck that guy bro

When I saw the Chinua Achebe quote explaining the title of this writing, I knew it was going to be good

Oml

This book wants me to root for cousin lovin’ so bad my lord

“I did not mind anymore that I lost when we raced and I lost when we swam out to the rocks and I lost when we tossed spears or skipped stones. For who can be ashamed to lose to such beauty? It was enough to watch him win, to see the soles of his feet flashing as they kicked up sand, or the rise and fall of his shoulders as he pulled through the salt. It was enough.”

Oh lord 😭😭

I actually listened to a talk this author did at my school and bought the book immediately after. That was two years ago and I’m only reading it NOW 😭😭

I’m understanding better now that I have to take this books in chunks, instead of rushing through.

I’m sort of on a quest to read every book in my apartment and slowing down my buying books habit. This book is no exception. This was a book I found in my godmother’s house after she passed, which I think she got to understand my family’s religion more :,)

Oh boy here I go dipping my little piggies into some philosophical texts (oink oink)
