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

I’m only a few pages in and this is already engrossing and horrifying in a way few books I’ve ever read have been

Molly Bloom kinda serving the first manic pixie dream girl ever kinda? also obsessed with how the grammatical person keeps changing (well not 100% obsessed with it but trying to convince myself that it’s a fun stylistic choice on Joyce’s part)

this is already blowing my mind with how kaleidoscopic everything is… I feel like no one can call themself unpredictable ever again after reading this shit. oh also! scrotumtightening! cuckquean! agenbite of inwit! contransmagnificandjewbangtantiality!

wow i’m plowing through this lol

jesus I got so far on this book I started today cause work was suuuuch a breeze and I had hours upon HOURS to just sit and do nothing lol

okayyyy lesbian time?

oh back to this bleakness lol

bro when I was at page 131 and she said “[a]n action I had been deeply thinking about, the transformation of the connotation of certain words” I was like oh fuck… I know where this is going 💀 alright Joe strap in but then she didn’t end up talking about it and actually smartly skirted around most of the things we already know about Easter while revealing new things many of us didn’t know… slay

can this kinda be my life please I’m begging
