I wish I discovered Angela Carter when I was a lot younger

Read a little during my study break.. it's 4 AM!

I can only read Chekhov every other day because his stories make me sad

"...and he imagined he was a simple ordinary man, that he was walking quickly, cheerfully through the fields, tapping with his stick, while above him was the open sky bathed in sunshine, and that he was free now as a bird and could go where he liked!"

Salinger is so great

I would read more but I don't think the coffee I drank earlier is working anhmore

"Have I not suffered enough, that you seek to increase my misery? Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it."

"Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend."

Done with volume 1, I love this book so much
