haven’t a clue what’s going on but girl I’m living for the mess ‼️

so far, this is the most crackhead energy Murdoch novel because wtf how am I supposed to keep track of all these characters who have such mundane names

je le lis en français car ma copie est en français lol (it’s enjoyable so far!)

I didn’t get to fucking finish this GODDAMN NOVELLA today because work was so motherFYOOKING BUSY and there’s this resident who is like the sweetest middle aged lesbian I’ve met in years but holy fuckledeechristle she yapped to me for about 60% of my shift and then only 5% of my shift was downtime (the first like several minutes) and then the other 35% was insane shit. welcome back to the workforce Joe!

damn it I was SO close to finishing this! my shift’s over though so I gotta go home. will either finish it tonight or tomorrow

this is insane this is such a drastic flash-forward

how crazy would it be if, à la middle schooler writing “and then she woke up” at the end of their creative writing essay, this chapter 3 to the end ends up being just… what Soren (the narrator) finds in the story of his life lol

“You were never concerned with justice a day in your life except when it was in your favor. Bye.” this DIVA! 💯😈

mothafucka it’s twu

🔥🔥🔥

bitch… oh yes. just started this while riding on the ferry from Ptown to Boston and I’m already hooked! I doooooooo wish I was reading this in its original French because I need to keep my mind sharp on my second language, but the copy I bought from the Wellfleet library happens to be in English but hey, shit, it was only $1 🤷🏻‍♂️ still une victoire

Iris Murdoch is literally the best writer I’ve ever read I’m just annoyed that I didn’t finish this before the end of my trip cause I checked this out from the Wellfleet library! gonna buy it back when I get home to Denver but in case I buy a different copy… Joe remember that you’re in chapter 11 and Hannah and Effingham are chillin 👍🏻

okay so that random kid is a sociopath perhaps? also I love how even in this victorian ass era there can be so much drama and it can still make a plot fascinating

I’m finally hooked on this

the new Mrs. de Winter feeling insecure around Beatrice is just like me fr

okay I’ve turned a corner: this is fire

okay I’m vibing with this a little bit more now

this is too serene… I feel like we’re about to be A Woman Under the Influence’d here

wow… Mrs. Van Hopper is kind of a bitch

I need this to be my life

my friendship I was close to comparing the one written about in here to was actually not nearly as cool. he was just cynical most of the time, whereas these people are so layered and dreamy. damn

ts so beautiful that it’s almost making me miss someone I very much should not be missing 😭

this making me feel emo already

zomg

How has this book progressively gotten better with each chapter…

I drank too much ube iced latte on an empty stomach to be focusing on this rn but I’m gonna impulsively go to a hot spring tonight after work cause that’s what I need rn

My job has been getting fucking insane this week… I really need to start reading not only when I’m here but at home too!

😥

You can tell I’m working a shift with my temp agency (I’m a temp leasing agent) when I update on here that I’ve actually been reading… I think I need to read more in my free time too though tbh

no offense to Ulysses but I had to put it in my DNF… this book on the other hand? I’m already fucking hooked
