back on my Mishima bullshit (let this save me from this 2 month reading slump, i beg)

sad I won't be able to finish it before the new year but dear god i adore Philippe Besson. this is so goddamn good

at this point i feel like i’ve lost the ability to read fun entertaining books. 2024 has just been trauma central reading wise (this is a cry for help, probably)

*silence*

jesus fucking christ. and it gets WORSE

I haven’t had the time to read anything for almost two weeks, but I’m back at it now. I hate how well this is written and all the things I like about the story, knowing what I know about the author. But I also can’t help but love the book. Fucking ugh, help

I like this quite a bit, but I can't read more than 1-2 chapters at a time since it's giving me an existential crisis, and I already have a few of those. Few, plural, many, a lot of Crises (bad when the end of your MA degree is looming)

I get the hype. Also, this reads like fiction

My superpower is starting many books. In my defence, this is non-fiction, so it will be a longer read anyway 🙃

where the fuck is the gore i was promised???????

i want to be in that sanatorium thing please, it would fix me. thanks

jesus christ, you can tell TS Eliot edited this novel

Getting that yearly Emily Henry fix while school fucks with my soul

Why was one chapter 7 pages and the one after that 80 pages??? Like, it could’ve been made into two chapters, just saying. I’m enjoying it overall though, so yay!

I love modernist books, they be silly

Noooniii, üks korralik näide modernismist eesti kirjanduses

i’m gonna be annoying my professor so hard in class with this quote and the analysis of it; she won’t know what hit her
