nothing better than being a bit sick and spending the weekend reading

no one:
Bras cubas to the reader: if you’re irritated by the preciding chapter, fuck you

Brás, I know I would’ve hated you. He knows he’s vain, but knowing you’re vain doesn’t necessarily make you less vain. Reminds me of some people i know.

I’m enjoying this book, its particular style, and its setting in 1800s Rio de Janeiro

onto brazilian literature 🇧🇷🥸

dreading to read one more lame letter

darling, i don’t like you but at least some interesting moves happening. curious to see how this drama ends now

FINALLY there’s been a kiss or something interesting happening. still lame af tho. how did she randomly goes from looking down on this man to letting him kiss her? she sounds insufferable

i don’t get it

i don’t understand much of this. this woman’s head is chaos. what the hell is a ninny.

this woman just hates her ex man 😂😂😂 totally chaotic narrative, i do not understand what’s happening but one thing i sure know is that she’s angry and that’s understandable but nobody like this ever lived happily ever after

quite difficult to follow. idk if because of the translation
so much rage against her ex husband and men lol
let’s see

i was getting somewhat disengaged and then this man wrote the most beautiful piece about lovers and lovemaking and you can’t not love it. beautifully written. i wonder how they translate this to english. there’s a whole thing about the ‘you, Reader’ = male; and the ‘you, Reader’ female.

valeriano, i cimmeri, la strada scoscesa, un sacco di cose un sacco di storie!!!! bho! piacevole ma non appassionata

mh

chaossssss and anticipationnnnn

i love me an antihero

bho raga ce un tipo che si trasferisce in una casa ed e piena di formiche. per ora non capisco

man moves into new home. home is infested with ants. you can’t win against the ants. don’t get the point so far but LETS SEE

first time reading calvino!

boy am i learning. history and power are so fascinating. it’s incredible how many things you don’t know about. and they all affect today’s world. it’s actually mad

“im afraid of taking steps that are not on the map, but by taking those steps despite my fears, I have a much more interesting life”

this is a book about how imperialism affected latin america. so far i’ve learnt about mines, gold, and silver. i used to think that a country with natural resources is bound to economic prosperity but boy was i naive. european mind meets rest of the world’s history. heart cries for all the indigenous livelihoods and knowledge lost.

anger, loading

long time coming 🥺

let’s go!!

meh?
