Conflicted on how I feel. Love a book where I can just hang out with the characters, but I'm so curious about the world that I feel distracted. Unique way to approach science fiction, for sure

Reading this book feels like slow dancing with Ray Bradbury.

Also, the Cottages exist in the same space in my mind as the lake house in Donna Tartt's The Secret History

Lol I have no idea what this book is about yet. It's very British tho

I feel like a wimp, but sometimes I have to put down the book, it's so tough to read. It's full of so much sorrow

Sometimes you think about the King that writes about haunted laundry machines and giant rats, and you think man, what a silly guy. But then you get to Rachel's story about her sister Zelda, and you realize for all the fun you can have reading him, you can never forget how capable King is of writing tales of horror and death. Gruesome.

I hate these books so much. They're so pretentious. Wdym that the main character can only sleep on beds that have the same proportion as A4 paper? I'm skimming the rest of this last book, idgaf

Finna end it all, man, these books suck eggs. I'm trying desperately to keep reading, but my will is failing

"I don't believe in blood," said Samuel. "I think when a man finds good or bad in his children he is seeing only what he planted in them after they cleared the womb."

"You can't make a race horse of a pig."

"No," said Samuel, but you can make a very fast pig." (p 260)

Damn, man. Steinbeck is crazy

Steinbeck wrote a Chinese servant named Lee, and in one scene, when Lee offers to fetch tea for Cathy, Lee says, "I bling litta table" (I bring little table).

You got me fucked up, man

Lounged in my Calvin Klein underwear and read all day. Then downed some greasy pizza, french cake, and hard cider before finally winning the 25 dollar first place trivia prize with my friends at the local bar. I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am I am I am .

I'm hooked

Finished the second book. I'm unimpressed by how clever the author was trying to be

Been a long time since I've picked up YA, and I'm surprised by good ones still emulate the same principles that some "mature" books do: an economy of style, the clarity of narrative, smart characterization. Reading Hunger Games is like watching a really good television show

Micro-lab book club, activate!

Well the first book told me to go fuck myself, so let's see what the second books says

Strange, disconnected, but somehow compelling. It's like scrolling your phone, but your phone is the book.
