I don't know what it means, but the books with reputation for being difficult or confusing to glom onto are for me the only easy books to read. I can't even get through a couple sentences of Nora Roberts without a massive migraine and a meltdown but this is so easy... Just inject it directly into my veins. So so good.

This book would have been better for me to do on paper (I'm trying audiobooks starting with this one) because it's so slow and horrifying. Also im so bad at understanding information when it is spoken. This book is very very upsetting

I thought of myself as someone pretty hip to medical misogyny but wow. I was not expecting to hear so many new and upsetting things. This book literally gave me nightmares last night so I hope I finish it today and then move on to something with kitties and rainbows and unicorns because holy shit

It is of the utmost importance in this rotten world to have friends

This is going very slowly because my brain is in the process of becoming a sober brain instead of a extremely drunk 24/7 brain. So it's like I'm trying to ride the bicycle but I keep tipping over. My brain legs just can't remember how to keep up correctly. Dystonia of the mind, etc. I am tired. Too tired. Like a bicycle. A bicycle that can't go.

Incredibly depressing. I'm not even sure if it's all autism at this point with me. I'm so depressed that I have no roles to fill and can't imagine one for myself again and even if someone hired me to play one for a million bucks a day I don't think i could do it. I've been an honest fool and died an honest death. This world had no place for me. Truly sorry it took so long but i got the message finally!

Candidey! Condeedee? I miss being beautiful and witty and agile and in short alive. I can't believe how fast I am dying and I can't believe no doctor will save me. I am going home sooner than anticipated. I will be glad to. My progress on this book is slowing down because I'm going blind? I can only see out of one eye and only partially. No idea what that's about. Sucks though

Have you ever thought hard about something and then decided to make the worst decision? Because I sure have. It's hard to resist the call of adventure and almost certain death.

The story is absolutely insane in the way that only reality can be

To strangle someone is such a symbolic thing if you think about it. I suggest you not really think about it too hard. But if you're being strangled and you're disassociating while also probably almost dying you might think about it. About how sad it is to be decapitated by fists forming around you.

Oh fuck.
Required reading.
I want to say men will hate this book because they don't want to understand how other people feel or believe that what they do is wrong. But the truth is men don't give a fuck what other people feel or how what they do affects others. Every word out of a man's mouth is "Because we can."

...I'm going through a lot right now.
Fuck Salwell btw or whatever his stupid name is. Guilty AF 100%

I fucking love reading books that make me feel like I'm high. I'm like duuuuude whoooaaahhh over here thinking about how the human body is actually like a bunch of cobaebs inside, just like I dreamed it was when I was a child.

Depressing to be reminded that lack of touch causes all kinds of physical problems. I got xrays and drugs and things instead of hugs and food. Still that way today. Cannot find anyone to physically contact, everyone is rapists, shit sucks

Moon Captain is on page 7 of 484 of Job's Body
Obsessed with understanding connective tissue. Condemned to solving all my problems myself. I used to have many powers. I probably still have them, but lost touch, literally, with myself and my self. Anyway, here's to hoping I can slough off the leaden mantle of doom and become a magic (old) girl again

This book is a real immersion in how these people lived. I'm looking things up constantly. Gas mantles and zinc bathtubs. Sen-sen licorice mints. Hansom cabs. Really enjoying this aspect of the book very much. A great book to entertain you if you're all alone.

It's growing on me. This is a great book to read when you are sick or otherwise estranged. I can see why the men read it in the trenches. Very descriptive. I wish real life was like this instead of shivering in trenches

This is bumming me out. I do not see anything beautiful about the lives of the poor. I want stories of millionaire thriats being slit in the night. Maybe this will go there? I can hope

I legitimately love this book. I want it never to end. I guess once it ends I can read it over again. Yes I know there are more volumes. I wish everyone had to read this book the same way they had to read other classics. Though, I don't actually know if people do have to read classics at all anymore. What is our children learning!???

So I started reading this pretty much randomly but it's inspiring me to reflect about my past relationships, sociology class, all kinds of stuff. I've got a new therapist I'll be working with soon thank God. I really want to be authentic and have meaningful interactions! God it's hard to be appropriate, to feel what we should, etc!
