omfkgkgk the sexual tension is CRAZY I went to bed at 3:30 am this morning😭

Now this is a SLOW burn

Guys I don’t have a copy of the sequel what am I supposed to do

this is so nostalgic i’m living

pls tell me this is enemies to lovers? the contempt but simultaneous respect they have for each other is THRILLING

(economic) historical analysis don’t bore me challenge

Soft dnf’d this a couple of months ago, but want to try to finish it after hearing Jess from Sunbeamsjess’s thoughts on it

book 1 is the "philosophical treatise" portion of Utopia, it's a bit strange as a framing device, but not unconventional for its time (or its tradition)

Reading from the Cambridge edition to hop in and out of the secondary literature/introductory materials for context & footnotes

Ok NICE

lighthouse keeper chapters are killing me

litcherally what the hell is in that ocean

I’m like the biologist in that despite the horrors and truly nightmarish setting of Area X, I love spending time in there. It’s so peaceful & pristine. And also unsettling and terrifying unlike any other setting imaginable

TAKING EXTENSIVE NOTES on the reread. the pieces are coming together!!!!

It’s pretty rough to read the male characters’ disgusting views on women and girls. Trying to remind myself that that’s just how a lot of men think (or used to?) but it’s stomach churning at times

The atmosphere reminds me of The Magicians, love the characters & the premise is just so fantastic!!!! been on my TBR for yeaars so glad to be getting to it :)

Due tomorrow at the library I gotta finish it!!

this is great so far

lovely so far <3

i know something horrifying is approaching

Finally!!! Something to propel me out of my reading slump!!!

guys pls tell me the whole book is not just varying alternate BATSHIT theories of how natural phenomena work 😭😭😭

stuck on the nature/ontological status/(im)possibility of inadequate ideas for SO LONG good god

these two mean the world to me, guys. i didn’t expect this
