perfect toilet literature

got this for basically free at a library sale!

weiß noch nicht obs meine art von buch ist (fand nur eine mecha show banger und das war trotz der mecha parts statt wegen) aber ich lass mich mal drauf ein

great size for always carrying it in your bag and reading whenever waiting for public transit or standing in line for the release of pokemon cards your little brother wanted

reread. what a fun play, i wish i could have seen this live bc i'm so bad with imagining accents haha

"[Parade] surges past the limits of identity, character and plot[...]"
so far a slog to get through, will try to read this in small chunks

hmm learned some interesting factoids but not too sure yet wether i like the tone of the book as it feels a bit infantilizing. thought this would have way more descriptions of scientific studies but i'll see how this goes

needed an audiobook for a long drive and didn't wanna commit to beartown. marlins performance is phenomenal and the story's so fun so far despite having the relatively simple premise of two people recounting their lives to each other

ran out of my audiobook hours on spotify once again. still not too sure wether i should stick with the audiobook or read the book instead since i find some voice performances rather distracting

been stuck for quite a while, hoping to finish this when i visit my parents and need something to do while walking their cat

i don't remember the last time i've read a book in second person, so this took some pages getting used to. the first 50 or so pages this book kept jumping between characters to do some worldbuilding, which is why we met one of our main characters pretty late into the book. one thing i do love is the use of italics to mark thoughts of people our pov is currently interacting with

will prabably be stuck on 11% for some weeks bc i've used up my free audiobook hours on spotify grrr

listening to this as i do with most memoirs read by the authors themselves

oh this book speaks very much to the same part of me that fuels my jesus fascination

das auf arbeit in einer der größten malls europas lesen fühlt sich richtig an

"Closes his eyes as if in prayer: and it's peaceful somehow. Recalling senselessly the old familiar words, worn smooth by childhood repitition. Blank tokens now, long since expired, exchangable for nothing. Consoling merely to weigh and handle once again, yes, thy kingdom come."

I keep coming back to this passage and mulling over it, what an expertly crafted mental image and sequence of words.
