i need a fucking minute

shoutout to myself for downloading a good read for a long car ride @ 4 am to ottawa, this book isn't even half bad!!!

oh how i'm so excited to read for pleasure again. i've been wanting to read this book for ages!

That was.... interesting? Boring and very slow, unenjoyable- only "finished" for my class and never want to read again. However, very select portions of the text was interesting

GOOD OLD CHARLIE BROWN MENTIONED?

it got freaky all of a sudden poor cat

again, putting this book on hold at page 138, i look forward to reading this when I have the time!! achilles and patroclus my beloved <3

PUT ON HOLD @ PG 53- TOO MANY READS AT THE MOMENT BETWEEN CLASS READINGS AND LEISURE READS

not one page where I haven't been taken aback and needed to reread a sentence so strong. I hope I write, highlight, write personal anecdotes, and analyze more than I ever will in a textbook.

When you look as bad as I do, you take what you can get" -Jude St. Francis, A Little Life (Hanya Yanagihara)

why can't the book stop after the happy years. for god's sake. for the READER'S sake.

-i need to cry and throw up in fetal position
-i want to curbstomp myself and throw myself off a cliff
-i had to stop reading now because i was so overcome with emotion.
-my judy boy :(

i fear that i can sense this book beginning to press a dagger into my heart (but not quite)
