finished picking sweetgrass!! if im being super honest (hana let me know if this is just me or if you agree) the initial novelty of the book/its lessons is wearing off a little and it is taking me abit more effort to pick it up and keep reading but i think that its solely because its non-fiction and episodic which isn’t a bad thing at all. nonetheless we press on and i keep reading and learning!!

so i didnt realise that this book is “short” enough to not have chapters so the whole thing is one long scene which is quite sick honestly. narration really continues to blow me away.

guys unironically this audiobook is so awesome seriously - there’s a cast (more than one narrator) but the main narrator is so good. and the story is so fun and i so far am really liking this

just popping in to say that the fact that 1984 is set in london is so funny to me like. they talk about st pancras station and i lived next to it for abit LOL its so jnteresting. its also so curious to me that in both 1984 and fahrenheit 451 they talk about burning of books as a method of keeping the population under their thumb.

i know everyone says this about this book but the concept of newspeak is really really interesting!! when you consider how language imperialism and standardisation impacts and trickles down into the ways in which we think/act it seems like such an effective propaganda tool towards controlling the thoughts of a people

actually i started this book a few days ago trying to get over the vermin-induced reading slump that i forsaw coming (because how on earth do you top that). so far i am liking the world-building!! definitely feels alot more real than fake haha very relevant in our modern day.

alicia dont read this potential spoiler alert

“He seems a polite enough fellow, though. This vant Passand. Reminds me of you.”
This time, the typewriter stops. The murk shifts, the candles flicker, as if the cell is taking a cautious breath. “Who?”

IM KILLING MYSELF this book is so insane
