Civil war has finally ended

Civil war is almost over. Grant putting out one liners. Lots of people dying..

Not sure I’ll finish yet, but one day at a time I suppose.

Beautiful

Audiobook version is like the director’s cut of a movie. Listening to his voice makes me feel like I know what it means to discover yourself through writing. He doesn’t speak with confidence and rambles only to come to a beautiful conclusion.

Read this while sitting in front of an old white dude wearing a Vietnam Vet hat on a plane. If the world’s playing jokes on me, then I think it got me good today lol.

Glad I decided on the audiobook for this! I remember reading this and dropping it originally but now hearing the subtleties of Hanif’s narration make it much more enjoyable.

Audio-booking this one. Re-listened to his podcast this past weekend on a walk and enjoyed it so much. His voice is such a kickback.

dysfunctional cross between nihilism, existentialism, and absurdism.

Over halfway through the book. Clearly a lot of the reviewers haven't been through a long-term relationship and seen it wilt. These dynamics aren't uncommon - life isn't easy!

80 pages in and I learned that George Eliot was a woman. And here I was thinking that he/she was a proto-feminist. Maybe I'm just an idiot.

Really good!

I think I get Sally Rooney now, lol.

Still reads so well..
