Convincing myself to go to the gym at least twice a week by only allowing myself to listen to saucy audiobooks while I'm working out.

I'm like halfway through this book, and I can't imagine there is anything more to say.

Spectacular opening paragraph, a triumph of first impressions.

"realizing my body isn't something I'm in but something I am is near the heart of the case for reactionary feminism. It's also the core of any meaningful resistance to Meat Lego Gnosticism. We're less likely to submit to a regime that treats men and women as defective 'humans' in need of tech fixes, if we know 'bodies' can't be treated as separate from 'selves' without doing deep violence to both."

"Re-imagining our bodies as Meat Lego won't free us from our bodies. Instead, we'll simply demolish what's left of the cultural and legal norms that evolved over time to manage aspects of human nature that remain beyond our power to change or eradicate. And it will free the market to move into that space."

I'm in a standoff with someone else at the library; we both keep putting holds on this book, trading it back and forth, ensuring the other person cannot renew it.

This book fuckin rules, it makes me want to understand astrology, which I've never thought worth the trouble before now

All my library holds arrived at the same time, oh no and hell yeah

Ch. 104

My boyfriend has been reading this to me in the evenings or while we're driving around, and it straight up rocks.

Yeah, I'm going to just put this down for now. Going through a difficult emotional time right now and I find this perspective of fierce individuality and hedonism too bleak to be appreciated. Another time.

I miss the old reader for the audio version. She had great character voices.

Pretentious and amateurish simultaneously, will wonders ever cease will this book ever end

Travel as adventures of self-discovery is an unbearably bourgeois theme for poetry.

Have to make up what page I'm on because this book doesn't have page numbers because it's artsy I guess. getting so frustrated reading these poems, they're so lazy lol

I'm going to feel guilty reviewing this because I expected it to suck and it does suck, but it was a gift so I feel obligated to read it. If only my friend hadn't given it to me I could have left it alone.

Have been meaning to reread this ever since I finished "H is for Hawk" and am finally getting around to it.
