bro he WHATTTTT??????????????????????????????????

I just bought this on a whim, but I'm actually blown away by how good the writing is... Goodman understands Gaga's artistry in a really complex and insightful way, which is sooooo satisfying to have articulated so well. Especially in 2010!!!

in anticipation of going to Chelsea in March :)

I already have a tattoo specifically for this book so I know what sort of excellence is in store 😆

ew this book is stinky I hate it already!!!!

k time to replace the British tyrants with American ones!

oh god, they know....

[REDACTED]

toni save me from my slump!!!

you always find your way back home (needed to read this again this year LMAO)

Literally impossible to say what page I'm on because the footnotes direct you all over the book. Currently decoding a cipher letter in my journal to know what it says. This is wild.

I'm so fucking scared rn

now why am I crying. this was supposed to be fun.

as the chapter i just read ended: "HOLY FUCKING SHIT"

gagging (positive).

Fiance and I reading this out loud to each other like it's a bedtime story. Get on our level.

Intro and Translators Note complete! I eat that academic shit up so I loved it. very useful context and analysis going in. I cant wait to read the oldest story like ever!

Just read the best section of this entire series so far ("The Witch"). Absolutely stunning. Deep, enchanting, fascinating, and philosophical. I only understood it because I've read Piranesi lmao.

I usually groan when I need to read a short story collection in the midst of a series. But having finished the first one, I'm eating this up. Can't wait to read more!

addicted. this is so good.

OKAY didn't know I would need a barf bag for the body horror 😃😃😃

im scared

after painful deliberation... DNF-ing this for now. The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are so deeply special to me, and I was hoping the posthumous works would extend that love. The Silmarillion was good, but didn't make my heart sing. Moving on to this.... I fear the tale will remain unfinished. Compiled notes and manuscripts can't compare to the enchanting masterpiece of the main works 3

Just read the most spine tingling plot twist in the series so far.... PAOLINI WHEN I CATCH YOU!!!!
