this is gonna change my life isn’t it

pov: book club is in less than 19 hours. there are still 80 more pages left in this book. i have to be awake in 6 hours. i just read the sentences “dr. kreutzer looked at her breast. it was spread out and pale, like large white cheese. a slightly moist, crumbling piece of mozzarella”

character haunting the narrative 👩‍⚖️💥APPROVED

bored as helllllll

bringing out the big guns bc i have been stuck in 3-4 star purgatory for months and i need a book to absolutely blow my mind. in james baldwin we trust 🫡

we’re soooo back (i have now spent a combined total of $35 to read this book so it better best fucking thing i’ve ever read)

“you begin to harbor a doubt: that she is not reading you, single and whole as you are, but using you, using fragments of you detached from the context to construct for herself a ghostly partner, known to her alone, in the penumbra of her semiconsciousness, and what she is deciphering is this apocryphal visitor, not you” wowwwww

pausing there, there for the time being bc i accidentally water boarded it in my work bag #oops
