something so unsettlingly disjointed about all of these narratives. also her description of learning writing 101 (grammar, structure) i think completely explains the extremely vanilla/boring writing style that has felt incongruent with how personal and emotive the stories are. the pacing is feeling very inconsistent to me. i am curious to see how these themes will mature/flesh out to conclude the book...

i was coming around to appreciating this book, now all im hearing is that i could've gone to harvard

have a lot of thots but one of them is: the writing feels over edited ...like sometimes i detect a unique voice in the writing that I wish I was getting more of bc majority is like super blah in terms of style. i feel like someone edited the uniqueness out, maybe it would've been harder to follow but. ??? Idk just a feeling I have

strange to read a memoir by someone my age instead of a blog post or ig caption

was high time for another nonfic in the mix

hard to follow the dream/hallucination parts, probably because of my ruined attention span, but not impossible. really good challenge for my working memory. i have some hypotheses about what's going on here ...

eh interesting premise i suppose but im not really buying that there's a deep message here, we'll see

way too much exposition ... might come back to this later

little hard for me to follow so far

snoooze I literally just read the previous book you don't need to rewrite the whole thing for context

another book with a strong start, but idk the mysteries were kind of guessable to me so far, unless there's another big twist ...

feels like stepping into a parallel universe

learning a lot

gorgeous cover. losing me at times

close enough. didn't hate the movie but there were certainly differences ;)

story 1: when you can no longer claim (control?) the thing you thought was your identity (for a mother, her son).

so far seems like he's advising i spend less money. considering it.

literally can't decide if I like this book or not, it's starting to piss me off although it has a strong start

easy to read. weird, goofy. like an open mouth kiss. pretty elaborate world building. love a goofball weirdo creepy villain

now this is fiction

tbh I wanted to read bc of the bat on the cover, but the Libby version I borrowed doesn't have the bat, but enjoying the book nonetheless. really great nonfic writing style

inspired me to create content, I hope I can monetize this

don't think this was meant for me, but I'm reading it

immediately suspending my disbelief

hard to believe the author is 75 years old, the book is fresh as an egg straight from the cloaca 🥚

really enjoying!
