This is actually one of the best theoretical books I’ve ever read and wowowowow it’s informing a lot of arts practice in a beautiful way

My boyfriend let me borrow his copy but now he “wants to reread it” so I need to “finish” the “book” or whatever

This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read but unfortunately I will be finishing it

Desperately trying to get back into reading, this is short and was my grandmothers ❤️

Aw shit, here we go again …… might not finish it since I’ve heard it gets a little woo woo at the end but I’m learning a Lot so far.

Didn’t realize incest was so casual in this

Not loving this but trust I will be finishing it

Bro James Baldwin stays fucking my shit up

One part left ….

I wish I had the time to read this all in one sitting I don’t want to put it down.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been this excited to read a book!

I got this book from a thrift store for a dollar and it’s really bad. Planning on finishing it since it’s a quick read but this will almost definitely be getting a 1 star

I’m really loving this so far! First Steinbeck, he’s got such a way with words that guy

This is the perfect gay beach read

Vacation re-read

I started reading this in October and then immediately stopped so I’m starting it again for good this time
