“Are we relying on medicine as a workaround for social change?”

OOF YES the answer is yes. Antidepressants, birth control, opioids…

This book is making me livid, i’m so infuriated for the main character it’s almost unbearable

godDAMN this book is good

finally diving in!!!

Okay, to me the beginning of this book felt very white and very much geared towards a specific audience, but I just finished the Chapter “Feel”, and found myself getting chills more than once.

I'm really liking this so far! Read under the covers last night, and it really was a vibe... Also side note- applaud me if you ever witness me give a book a rating other than 4 stars! I seem very intent on never straying from that path these days... (it's hard! I like a lot of books a good amount but not enough to Love it and not little enough to offend the author or people who really like it)

I can already tell this will be one of my favorite comfort books to come back to...

Ahhh!!! How does Victoria pull me in so sneakily??

This... may be one of the best books I’ve ever read???

I’m so so excited for this book, but also so scared that I won’t like it...

This is one god-fearing dude... I feel like I would appreciate the book more if I were catholic!

Please comfort me Michelle🥺🥺

I really liked Fates and Furies, so I’m pumped to read this!

I’m making the rare decision (for me) of not finishing this book. The writing is good, the plot is fast-paced, and I can see the world as getting immersive throughout the story’s course, but there isn’t enough character development for me, and I seriously need that to stay interested.

As my corporate power seminar professor said to us on the first day of class, "these readings will give you nightmares, and then you will wake up and the nightmare won't be over"

Oh. my. gosh. I am only a chapter in and I am salivating/crying at every page at how beautiful the writing is.... gaaaaaaahhhh

I can’t explain why I like Murukami’s writing. His characters are flat, the writing is simple, nevertheless?..

Getting lotttts of time to read with all the Boston public transport issues. Blessing and a curse. Can’t get fired from an unpaid internship tho- hah!

No matter how long it always takes me to read Donna's books, I hold them in such high regard! This woman can write a dang sentence

Hi hellooo I am drowning in essays and work and I just want to read on my own again. (aka curled up with my kitty and not my computer) Did I leave this book half-read from the summer?? Who am I ??
