also sethe has some very interesting and karmic luck… i wonder if this has anything to do with Denver as well

At the part where they fully explain denver’s birth
- Paul D: good intentions, sort of 6th sense, protection
- Sethe: almost avoidant, loves her family and hard ass
- Denver: sort of ungrateful and selfish, wants a sister, found out she’s 18
- Beloved: bewitched odd energy, life sucking
- Amy: still unsure why she helped Sethe

Grace gave me this book in appreciation of my curiosity, It is fun to pick up every one and a while for a couple of minutes and learn that someone has taken the time to make up words to explain the feelings that feel unique to you.

Eleanor is causing all of this? In her sleep?

is there a reason why dr montague doesn’t want to use the planchette?

Theodoras psychic powers are stronger and I think she’s evil. Planchette.

“ all I want is to be cherished, she thought and here I am talking gibberish with a selfish man”
Eleanor is “learning the pathways to the heart.”

OOOH CHILLS

I think it was the younger sister who haunts the house

I love how feminine and wondrous this book is. Theodora and Eleanor, i would hate for something terrible to happen…

didn’t expect to like an assigned book this much— elanor is a good protagonist, she’s already had character arcs. what a dreamy sheltered gal

Dr Montague a doctor of philosophy investigating “causes and effects of psychic disturbances in a house commonly known as haunted”
He invites people involved in abnormal events and two members of family who owned the house.

I just love how Nikki writes and how self aware he is.

Also sidebar: pam and Tommy's favorite artist is Radiohead?!

It's so sweet how Tommy talks about her and Pamelas relationship, flawed but so real. The way he talks about wanting kids and protecting his wife from exploitation and public scrutiny. Even though they had a rough relationship (mostly due to outside influences) he talks about her so highly.

Beginning of Medieval period in Europe, switch from hating women to courtly love inspired by Arabs in Spain and the crusades of holy land. I think I will like this chapter.
It’s crazy how the Europeans took the longest of any other civilization (by far) to even recognize women as anything more than an incubator. Most of other civilizations obviously didn’t respect women but never to the european extent

End of the Islam segment, I need to do more research on Eunuchs because they definitely lost me there.

i love how nikki writes, even as a deadbeat womanizer, bro is a poet at heart.
i hope him and donna worked out for a while

I love the feeling of never being able to stop looking at a person you are infatuated with. Tommy is so real.

Pam & Tommy episode 1 words for word

nikki and tommy are cornballs in love man. how did i not know about bobbie brown!?

Literally had me in tears at work. This is the most respect i will ever have for vince even tho it could be karma for killing another person

I’m tired of Vince’s ass. Also why tf has he not mentioned he has a son!?

Probably the best chapter i’ve read of this book. Reading & Eating p236.

“does sex ever feel like this for a man? does his tree change and spout does the system get up? Does he go? I once was laying in bed with her, and she got me off by touching, and I am still sinking backwards in that picture a morning in which I lie in bed, looking out the window at a passing train.”

ancient islamic world— all the men die and women enslaved for sex

a lesbian thing might be my favorite chapter. her writing style makes sense in this setting. she should just write lesbian smut and that’s all

i really wish i knew what she was talking abt

“but when i liked sex, it was generally a mistake.”
