I get it. I get the whole allegory. Its alright. Boys are scary 😬

A lot more… sexual than I expected? But also so so so sad and brilliant and profound. I am scared of the second half of the book.

Honestly convinced Orwell was a genius.

I really should watch the movie.

Is this book going to destroy me…?

I forgot how good this book was. Pretty sure the last time I read this book was during Trump's first term. And now I read this again in his second term, and somehow it is so much more relevant today, which is terrifying.

I’ve gotten goosebumps so many times already and I’m only a quarter in. This book is fcking brilliant.

I am so bored. I keep thinking about the BBC Sherlock show with Benedict Cumberbatch and how much more fun it is than this book.

Why am I lowkey tearing up??? When was this book so heartbreaking?

I deeply love and secretly hate this book all at the same time. I’m very confused about my feelings right now.

This book is uncomfortably relatable

PLS JHUMPA GET ME OUT OF THIS MINI READING RUT 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 (I love you vine Deloria jr but reading your book right now is too much of a throwback to my thesis 😭)

I feel like this book is gonna be a classic. Like a “The Talented Mr. Ripley” type legend.

This book is so much more addictive than I remembered.

Starting yet another book that I read 240 pages of literally ages ago but never finished so here we are at the beginning again…

I’m in love with (almost) everyone in this book. So close to the end. Don’t do it Doerr 😭😭😭

I’m getting too attached and I fear nothing good is ahead. I think this is what impending devastation feels like.

Things feel… ominous. Like shit is gonna really go down soon and I’m scared 😭

Bruh how am I going to tutor with this book 😭

Holy shit. This book is brilliant. Destructive and utterly brilliant.

I have this horrible sense of impending doom. Please be ok Piranesi 🥺

I’m actually enjoying this much more than I expected to

Okay… it’s getting better. There have been good moments.

Yeah I really don’t know about this one… 😭 tempted to give up but this book was a gift (love u will) and I am in my “finishing books I start” era because I’m half-convinced my DNFs are mostly due to a lack of willpower and not because the books are boring but this is really testing that theory 😬

I don’t know how I feel about this book. In some ways I feel weird reading it because I am so aware it is a Korean book translated in English and my subconscious tries to figure out what the original might say as I’m reading… I don’t know if I like that. Also it feels like a book that’s so close to getting to the heart of something deep and meaningful but it’s not quite getting there…

Men WISH they were as effortlessly mysterious as Gatsby 🙄✋

Time to teach one of my favorite book 🤭🤭
