Cannot emphasize enough how much I cannot read this at night because holy space out batman

Momentarily made a movement to rip this book in half

William Lyt you are on my list you better watch yourself

Waaaaaah being a man is hard waaaaaaah society revolves around me and rewards my violence waaaaaaah I feel peer pressure to be mean or a *man*, like PLEASE give me a reason to care while women are getting SA'd and threatened and abandoned. I 100% believe the contrast b/w these realities is part of the point Backman is trying to make but I'm really having trouble mustering empathy for these AWFUL men and boys

Do we need more characters serious question

My man Fredrik loves a description of an event that bleeds into a philosophical observation of human nature that re-grounds itself through a sentence of plot. It's been 62 pages and I think 7 seconds of the actual plot has occurred 😅

I believe in idiots in love trope supremacy

Not even a tenth of the way through and already thinking about what the literary world would look like if men didn't hate women so much????? Like not even hate, but just disregard entirely. The joy, talent, perspective, the *existence* of women is barely perceived by so many men throughout history ugh

Superman :D

There are two wolves inside me: One that wants to read translated Norwegian literature on grief and loss and the other that wants to read Superman comics. You'll never guess which wolf I'm feeding rn.

I love Shakespeare! I love learning!

This is really cute :') Loving the wintry, slightly spooky atmosphere with a real sense of mystery

I'm feeling so anxious this week I do not want to be reading this at all :)

Reading my Superman book while drinking tea outta my Superman mug, my baby is asleep my face is washed my jammies are clean my bed is warm

Juliet agreeing to Follet's painting got me acting like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar, hammering at the walls of reality, sobbing, begging her not to do this

*Spongebob voice* My friend illustrated this :D

January goal is to finish all my current reads, which means picking up the history of America's moral failure while watching new failures in real time. Woohoo!

"Diana is different. She's not like those other witches." A REAL LINE FROM THIS BOOK. I'm getting the ick 80% in do I stick it out or DNF 😭

Lol I genuinely forgot i was reading this :)

Reading this while watching my baby boy sleeping in his crib..... DO NOT ATTEMPT!!!!!

"Maybe they could trade placeS" OH MY GODDDDDDDD

"Turn away, he says to death. Close your eyes, just for a moment." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
