So many italics... so many line breaks...!

Omg this book is terrible I must finish it

Finally, someone has written a poem about desperately giving away your zucchinis because you grew too many!

"If we have not stopped / wanting in the long dark, / we will grasp our desires / soon by the nape. / Inside the fallen brown / apple the seed is alive."

This story is abysmally bad. I'm only continuing the book because I'm nearly done, but... my god.

"My mind was racing. I realized how stupid I had been, how little I had learned about anything." Holy shit you're just now realizing? This is the dumbest detective ever.

"By this time the melanin pill I'd swallowed had worked and I was a young black woman" Sorry what!

What is it with people in fiction always having to taste blood to determine that a pool of blood is actually blood? It's so weird.

This chapter is SO DEVASTATINGLY SAD my god!!

"In the beginning was the Word. Then came the fucking word processor. Then came the thought processor. Then came the death of literature. And so it goes."

He's playing Superhot

I like to think that this is written exactly how Kassad told the story and that he's just describing elaborate sex scenes to five strangers

I'm restarting this because, despite setting it down last year, it's stuck in my head. I'm in the mood for sci-fi and my boyfriend assures me it's worth it, so: take two, from the top!

This is a level of petty vindictiveness that genuinely makes you worry about the person's mental health.

David is truly the absolute worst. Insufferable.

Responding to a sexist remark by being racist to the person who said it... a bold strategy

This family is the WORST

Loving this so far.

Oh. Fuck. Yes. I am fully in.

I'm disappointed in this narrative so far. It feels trite in a way the other books never did.

This book is a depressing slog. I wish I could take this concept and give it to a more talented writer. What a waste.

"Even Millicent's stupidity was attractive. In the deepest stupidity there is a kind of dizzying, whirlpool attraction, like death: the pull of the vacuum."

"'In London November isn't a month,' he said. 'It's a state of mind.'"

"'I was weary to death, as weary as only a twenty-year-old can be, and indeed I yearned for the secret of death, longed for the dark delirium. But when the feeling of mortality inspired by the wine began to wear off, I didn't actually want to die.'"

"I am, after all, your dear friend. Your valuable friendship is too important to me to disappoint you, dear friend." I love Yennefer so much.

I really like Yarpen and hope he sticks around. Triss, on the other hand, can't bugger off fast enough... ugh.

"It isn't very hard to describe our school. It was one among hundreds—maybe even thousands—of poor schools in Indonesia that, if bumped by a frenzied goat preparing to mate, would collapse and fall to pieces."

"'Do you want to know? It will do you no good. It will not make you happy. It will not make one moment if what is to come easier on you. But ask me, and I will give it to you.'"

I'm at that point in reading a book you don't like where every little thing just pisses you off.

Geralt's conversations with Ciri are so adorable.
