yeah man she sure was young when she wrote this

re-reading because I never picked up books 2 and 3– have just read two linguistically gorgeous books in a row but trying not to let that sour me. I remember the plot being worth the weirdly modern dialogue

gobbling this one up mmmm yummy

never before have I learned so many words in so few pages

I may not have the strength to finish this. really bad

reading in circles because there is simply so much information

jesus christ .
(is a prominent figure)
fuck man

this is so unbelievably dense with emotion and information holy moly
soon i shall find myself obsessed with Baldwin I feel it coming on

man. phew

world mechanics are super interesting, though the characters lack significant depth
still gobbling this up in what little free time I have

Sobbed violently at the nonfiction account of pre- and post-bombing Dresden, wept and raged through descriptions of Vonnegut’s indoctrination into the imperialist war machine, and have since decided to put this extraordinarily despairing volume down until I feel slightly less hopeful about the future of our nation

the latest book club read: extremely straightforward, spoon-feed-y, and (for lack of a better term) rather aggressively woke in its delivery. but charming, and the setup of the world is interesting

foaming at the mouth (as is traditional when I read Vonnegut, but this one is entirely an anti-war collection of previously unpublished snippets)

UH?? writing style is not groundbreaking but good god is the content huge

um?!??!!!!! jesus christ this is a masterpiece

j’adore !!
reading slowly to catch it all

I <3 VONNEGUT !!

i <3 vonnegut

oh god

jesus christ is this writing beautiful. and Haunting
it’s going to wreck me i know it

(book club) I am not a fan of tartt! her style is irritating to me in many ways, she bogs down plot progression with clichéd metaphors and inconsistent character behavior, and she uses big vocab words in the same way that taylor swift does (like she’s trying to earn scrabble points— good words put to poor and sometimes inappropriate use).
I will finish it, but I will be glad to read something else afterward.

solid!! enjoying
