did he just...?

The beginning of this book is like waking up into a nightmare. So much has changed since Red Rising and I feel like it uncannily illustrates how thoughtless so much “strategy” of war is. Perfect.

Time traveling aliens :) fat shaming :(

Made sense to start this while reading Slaughterhouse. Half the poems are great, half don’t make sense yet 😅

“And even if wars didn’t keep coming like glaciers, there would still beplain old death.”

My sister told me this is best read all at once so I’m gonna try to do that today.

Bro gets genetically modified bc he solved a rubix cube 💀

This is putting me in a very revolutionary state of mind. I need to protest something.

“A huge white horse, of the kind that the people who know horses would call a ‘grey,’ came ambling…” Neil is so funny for that actually. And he’s right. I know the exact kind of horse he’s talking about.

I like Bill. The story’s picked up now that we’re in Spain. I do feel pity for Cohn, though, but I think that’s the point.

Ok now I’m *actually* reading instead of listening to a (male) performance who gave all the women exasperatingly whiny voices. So far, though, I’m still unimpressed with Brett. Make up your mind, girl. Consult a lesbian.

I found another one 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Guys I am so close. Shit is getting wild too. 😰

GLORIOUS SOUL-DEVOURING PROSE

Oh it’s so good already. Insane.

Nvm this guy is getting on my gotdamned nerves 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

“Love is a form of knowledge.”
Oh…
Wait yeah…
Yeah!
Yeah it is!!!
Blaring clarity well put. So many ideas that I’m mad I never figured out myself 🔮

“In art as in politics, well-meant, noble-sounding errors can devalue the world.”

HOLY FUCKING SHIT GARDNER! 8 PAGES IN?!

The amount of marginalia on this guy is rivaling my copy of moby dick 😳

Somehow, after semesters of confusion, Dickinson suddenly makes sense after being submerged in Plath. Weird. Working with an old collection from the 40s here, eventually hoping to snag a complete collection with all one-thousand-seven-hundred-something poems :))

She saw the world is such wild ways. She is so much more than just a tragic figure.

Ohhh sweet honesty and beautiful hearts 🥹🥹🥹

I STARTED SOBBING ON PAGE NINE! WHY! IT WASNT EVEN SAD WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

“The face that lived in this mirror is the face of a dead man.
Do not worry about the eyes—“

Um. AAAAAH

Is it the sea you hear in me,
Its dissatisfactions?
Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness?

Plath draws such existential sighs out of me. Each crashes down with all the turmoil and distance of the ocean.

“A HORSE is at least HUMAN for gods sake”
💀💀💀 truer words never spoken, Holden, ya hit it on the nose

Love this goddamn book

Mmmm chaos…
