the ultimate shallow gay media brainrot is wrapped up in this book i can't-

this book is wrecking me. but I shall go on

I’m really liking it so far! Those kids think they’re all that, constantly trying to come off as the most intelligent ones; it’s amusing like dude my friends group r so smart that we dumb everything down bc we r cool like that

I really like this book. Read more like a juicy fiction rather than a report of ten years in making of those real life three women which I don’t mind, just that the idea of doing this serious project to write about women in real life narrowed down to this? It doesn’t help that it is male gaze story. If it was merely a fiction it might bother me a bit less. I still really like it a lot so far.

I am obsessed w this book

the author think deaf people are stupid bruh

That betting on the fight was crazy

I like this a lot but I think I definitely like conversations with friends much more. Although I still have more to go with this one, we’ll see if my opinion change then :)

I had no clue how gay it was two years ago when I first unforeseeably got my hands on the copy that won 2018 Pulitzer Prize at the Chicago airport. I added it to my tbr list and moved on with my life, secretly naive queer kid wandering in life having no idea what I want to do. All I knew was that the synopsis seems good and I want to read it someday. That’s today and the timing never have been more right.

Mostly Dead Things novelist Arnett wrote another stunning portrait of a queer dysfunctional family, and I’m so invested. From the start, honestly.

"Honestly, Dad," I said. "it's hard enough figuring out anything about myself without other people dictating my taste to me." (note to themself: use this in the review)

i adore how this story is written.

I want to tell him that Donna Summer’s “Spring Affair” is the only thing that got me through 2004, but I have omitted the events of this year from our correspondence. “I love disco,” I say, and he smiles and turns up the music.

“The men of Earth came to Mars. They came because they were afraid or unafraid, because they were happy or unhappy, because they felt like Pilgrims or did not feel like Pilgrims.”

Nearly a hundred pages in, and I love this book already.

saw this in a bookstore I went to yesterday and loved the cover. the title is pretty good too. today I began- well like twenty minutes ago- reading and i think ill finish it, like, ASAP. holy fking good

Stopped this book a while ago but now I am getting back to it from the beginning.

um, yep I'm starting a new book. Have I gone mad?

I’m beating myself up for not reading this book when it arrived on my front porch months ago. I’m in love.

“The thing that makes me happy is that I know that on Mars, two hundred years from now, my books are going to be read. They’ll be up on dead Mars with no atmosphere. And late at night, with a flashlight, some little boy is going to peek under the covers and read The Martian Chronicles on Mars.”

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.”
