Love the comment about the naivety of surface level charity during the 80s: “the fantasy being that western consumerism, far from being intrinsically implicated in systemic global inequalities, could itself solve them. All we have to do is buy the right products.”

Omg “Crown” was such a slow and arduous section

Nice chapter after nice chapter after- oh it’s the couple whom I don’t care about again. Okay time to sleep.

Trunk should not get me as much as it should’ve like it was so interesting and exciting and yes I am spamming but I’m just trying to pretend that what just happened didn’t just happen who the hell is cutting onions they better stop omg

Rereading this because I didn’t really understand the praise of this play, but I’m halfway through and I still don’t really get it.

Are my expectations too high? Do I have to read/watch “Hamnet” to understand the Bard’s life at that time?

To that ONE person who just HAD to reserve MY copy of this book despite there being FOUR OTHER copies in the city’s central library database. Forcing me to make the EXTRA step to return my old copy and borrow a NEW copy, which this person could have done INITIALLY.

YOU ARE ON MY LIST. I AM BEEFING WITH YOU. IT’S A ONE-SIDED FEUD BUT ITS A FEUD NONETHELESS. 🔪

Okay on this point about the Sloane’s, I think I prefer the TV show version than the book

All of human history has evolved in such a way for me to make a Goodreads update on the first ever surviving written story. Nice.

Their paths are converging!!

Also I have 2 days to finish 400 pages omg. This is for you trees (the book is about trees)!!! 🌲 🌳 🌴

Roots is over, it’s time for Trunk! (I still don’t know what this book is gonna be about but I’m loving it😭)

The unexpected but very welcome surprise of these references! Steinbeck’s “The Pearl”, Ovid’s “Metamorphoses”, the Epic of Gilgamesh and Macbeth!

I’m glad I waited until now to getting to this book

Literally everyone EVERYONE (besides Elizabeth, Calvin and Six-Thirty) is so incredibly annoying

My analytical brain is tingling and I love that the first three stories follow the broad strokes of birth and death 👀 I wonder if it would continue…

« La Ratatouille Folle »

Daniel et sa sœur, Julie voyagent à Marseilles mais il va accidentellement à Nice. En voyageant, Daniel apprend une histoire secrète de famille de son ami, Arnaud.

They’re so cute 😭😭
Your honour, they are SOULMATES 😭

He’s such an overthinker. David chill

So how does the story get from here to there🤨

I have thoughts… but the one that’s standing out surprisingly is “gosh there are a lot of commas”

Falstaff is so..... do I loathe him? He's almost so pathetically villainous that I might not actually hate him?

Was Hal waiting for this dressing down by the King as a point to turn a new leaf? Or did getting berated by the King really cause a stir in the young Prince?

King Henry and Percy: 😡🗯️⚔️

Prince Hal and Falstaff: ✌🏼🥳🍻

It’s time!! Finally ending my 2025 with my 100th book of the year!

It’s also Jane Austen’s 250th Anniversary!
Of course I will be rereading this masterpiece!!

Omg Irene being an unreliable narrator here is genius

Its the way I always have to pause reading this after that sequence iykyk

“Because… because… she came here with me”

Ik the character is called “Speed” but SLOW DOWN omg

That doctor… 🔪

Okay the town needs to back off

Dang okay I know I know Im rereading this for the millionth time, water is wet, 2+2=4
