i mean im aware that not everything can go to plan always but don’t fuck their huge heist like that ?!?!?!?! 😭😭😭 damn

just about halfway through and im tired of this… but now it’s like well, ive read half… might as well read the other… even if i don’t particularly care to…

i understand the appeal and also how people manage to read 420 romances in a year but i also don’t understand the prolonged appeal and certainly don’t how one wouldn’t get bored after… 420 romances in a year. like it’s a very long not very deeply interesting fanfic about characters ive never met yet met a hundred times before. it’s not bad, it’s fine, but it’s literally simply fine.

it reads like fanfic but i do not mean that as an insult

this site will have you come face to face with books you couldn’t imagine in your wildest dreams (derogatory)

i love used book stores so bad like my god… all this for the price of one time getting takeout in this economy…

re-reading your own reviews from 2019 like dear god,

everyone always gay fr fr fr

eugenie danglars GAY as FUCK

there’s something to be said about epistolary

chapter 50 wants me to fucking kill myself

scream x3000

edmond 😭😭😭 this bitch planned everything to a T oml

we are slowly but surely entering the part of this work where edmond will exact his agonising and justified revenge upon all who wronged him but we haven’t reached that point quite yet and it’s like knowing something is coming and shaking with the anticipation for it while trying to pace yourself in your reading lest you skip ahead just to get there

find the play at appearances in this work very interesting bc albert is born of two catalans who lived all their youth in a small catalan village amongst their own but he considers himself to be french with quite the conviction and considering his father to be spanish apparently… idk, identity is such a central theme here. who are you? where do you come from? what is your story? why are your hands so cold?

fucking albert 😭😭😭

feeling fucking faint…

ever open a classic and then wonder why anyone reads contemporary ever

i really cannot put into words clearly enough how completely every single word written in this work is in every way made for me. like you guys don’t get it, i feel like im reading something i shouldn’t get to lay eyes on. this is exactly how i wish to sound when i write and it’s exactly how i wish my very favourite novels to be written and im blessed. im blessed to be alive and able to read.

can’t even read my phone book when im not home bc all i want to read is this and im growing pissed off that i can’t until im home

ITS HAPPENING. EVERYONE STAY CALM. STAY FUCKING CALM.

edmond going “im gonna kms” over any little inconvenience is so fucking funny 😭

religious imagery, calling upon god, connection to the solitude of the saints and the damned…

it’s been so long since ive read a proper adventure type novel that was focussed on its storytelling more than any fucking- tropey bullshit, like this isn’t fantasy, this is just. it’s so good. it’s so good.

the way im shaking with anticipation and cannot wait for it………….. oh, may justice know nothing of being swift and merciful… may she take her time with you dogs…

“That is in strict accordance with the Spanish character; an assassination they will unhesitatingly commit, but an act of cowardice, never.”

relevant for another thing. 2015 etc

MY LOUDEST YEAH BOY EVER

“danglars was one of those calculating men who are born with a pen behind their ear and an inkwell instead of a heart.”

i want to kill him. by the way.

THIS IS PISSING ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw if you were wondering if this is like, queer… holy shit, man. holy shit. readddddddd it
