not very far in the book obviously but i can already tell this is gonna be an all-timer. frankly mind-boggling prose on display here at several moments i just had to pause and let it all wash over me. goodness gracious

i definitely think i'm coming around on this it's just that frequently it feels entirely adequate. not bad but just not that incredible either 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

still just kind of okay, with occasional passages of brilliance. nothing quite like the heights of infinite jest

honestly, not sure how i'm feeling on this one so far. on the other hand, it's by DFW so of course it's good (albeit in the way that, say, a movie by david fincher is "good"). i think i just need to give it a little more time, hopefully it'll be like infinite jest and start picking up in the back half

got fed up of runaway horses because it's so boring honestly i got let down so hard. refreshing myself by reading this novel which is SO good!!!!!! the main character is flipping epic sauce and the satire doesn't feel cringe which is rare. will have to see how it unfolds though

Kill for Love

this is unintentionally one of the funniest books i've ever read because it's so obvious that isao is a self-insert for mishima and therefore he is one of the gayest characters in literary history

am i just a masochist (yes 🤭)? i tried reading white noise but i kept daydreaming about reading this book while doing so. man i really hate mishima most of the time but what can i say, when he's good he's good.

gosh darn it this is well written, and very easy to read too. the use of metaphor in this novel might as well be unmatched, and although very little has happened so far by way of plot, i found the story and it's miasma of asides and mutterings to be much more impeccably charming than the other mishima i've read. really excited to see where this goes and kiyoaki is a really strangr character
