This is embarassing it automatically marked this as currently reading because it's on my kindle i swear i'm reading like 5 other books that are much more thought provoking and sophisticated rn i just need a chill one to lull me to sleep...

Old-Growth Children- a futurism of a sort...yet grounded in the present; in the sense of finding a path to a present that is better than the one now.

Umbilicaria: The Belly Button of the World- landscape as ancestor ! <3

This book is so frustratingly organized omg

Crying so much i'm getting a headache

This is like crack to me

Crucially i’ve been reading this instead of the readings we actually have to do for class

Shoutout prof rashid khalidi for the recommendation 👍🏽

can’t stop won’t stop reading at least 4 books at once and then getting a library book on top of it

The sun was low in the sky, casting slant regal light. As they plodded along, the golden radiance intensified until it seemed to emanate from every feature of the land. Trees, brush, snow, hills…Winter clouds formed patterns against the fierce gray sky. Scales, looped ropes, the bones of fish. The world was tender with significance. (The Night Watchman 343)

Everyone pray i finish this book before i leave on saturday or else goodnow library may not be getting it back until thanksgiving

I’m stresseddd

This book is really making me appreciate 1) how much of my knowledge of arthurian canon comes from BBC Merlin and 2) how much BBC Merlin diverged from the arthurian canon .

Whatever I felt, whatever this feeling was inside of me, there is no place for it. There is no place for it to go, and U would have to carry it around inside of me for a long time, so long that it would fossilize and become a part of me (84).

Oh man another book

The peculiar aliveness of things struck by late afternoon sunlight—hold on to it. And the trees behind them, their shadows, wavering. (67)

Also this is exposition hell good lord

My initial thoughts abt 10 pages in is that this writing style is so so annoying to me . Ok removing judgy hat now i will continue reading

Let the record state that i am still reading this 🙏🏽

NEVERMIND I LIKE THIS BOOK.

My number one satire pet peeve is 1) main character is so laughable stupid and dislikeable that every single thing they do is wrapped up in them being an awful person (i call this the marvel villainization complex) and 2) health issues as satirical fodder. Both of which this book does. Okay reserving further judgement til i get further in

I really don’t think i’m a satire fan tbh
