Finally had the opportunity to pick this up from the library and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Never thought I'd see the day when I would be actively reading and enjoying a book by Hemingway but here we are. And he's managed to do the impossible: make me want to go to Paris.

Very excited for this one.

Things are getting hella interesting! That's all I can say.

I'm confused. But in a good way. Beautifully, wonderfully, enchantingly confused.

Ah yes, one of those classic brother against brother stories. Those always end well.

I DNF'd this novel some years back because I wanted to focus on other books. I might give it another try.

Here we go then. I'm reading the translation by Constantance Garnett.

Apparently, Chapter 11 is the weakest chapter and the hardest to get through. Let's see how true that ends up being.

Just found out this beautiful collection existed and I had a heart attack of happiness.

Cautiously looking forward to this one.

Only halfway through, but if this novella sticks sticks the landing, it will be one of the easiest five star-ratings I've ever given. So far, it's a beautifully written slice of Gothic goodness.

So far, it feels more like a collection of interesting scenes and reflections on academia culture instead of a fully engaging, well-paced novel.

Looking forward to this guide to being edgy.

Every time I get too comfortable, Dickens hits me with a sledgehammer of melancholy.
