they’re making me read books for my degree in books…… who could have predicted this

gayest book of all time so far

reading an older translation of symposium/phaedrus and the intro is hilariously homophobic. it’s like “so yeah they talk about kissing their homies after they get back from war. But french people kiss each other all the time. maybe they’re just freaky like the continentals are freaky. Ever consider that, pervert?”

maybe the hardest book i've ever read and yet i know i'm immediately going to want to read it again and rip it apart w/ annotations once i'm done. also "fanny assingham" is absolutely vile character naming work, thank you mister james.

reading this aloud to paloma as she drives us to new mexico and she’s loving it :) 💖
