najveće iznenađenje ove knjige je da su mi likovi zanimljivi ovaj put. u mannen på balkongen ih nisam mogla smislit, a sad...lowkey silly guys. ajde da se i to, napokon, dogodilo.

probudite me u 3 ujutro i pitate koji su glavni dijelovi lacanove psihoanalize pa krenem recitirat obilježja simboličkog, imaginarnog i realnog u hladnom znoju kao da mi držite pušku uperenu između očiju

i present još jedan pokušaj da samu sebe naviknem na nordijski noir. jesam li bila oduševljena sa mannen på balkongen? ne. mislim li da ću obožavat ovog? eeeeeeh. bez problema priznajem da je moje uživanje u ovakvim krimićima dosta narušeno time što sam naviknuta na i volim klasičnu agatha christie formu, a ovo je skroz druga stvar. vi ska se

guyssss do you know that time doesn't stop and like, time is always moving and it never slows down and actually time is that one force that is always going forward and the thing is that you can't take it baaaaaaaaack and you can only dream of the old days because time keeps you a prisoner in its cage guysssssssss GUYS

kritika predodžbe žena skoro 1 kroz 1 način na koji određeni ljudi na internetu prilaze književnosti i to je baš divno i krasno i šarmantno

toliko života ima u ovoj prozi. želim ju pojest i utopit se u njoj i tetovirat ju cijelu i izgubit se u stranicama i naučit svaku rečenicu napamet divno divno divno

the trio of elizabeth, mrs. dalloway and miss kilman might be my favourite dynamic of the book. as soon as i finish i need to find some papers about it

every time septimus takes the stage i feel both claustrophobic by his thoughts and delighted because the prose is simply gorgeous. truly insane that i didn't develop an obsession with woolf earlier when i read this one for the 1st time (which i remember nothing of)

"So there was no excuse: nothing whatever the matter, except the sin for which human nature had condemned him to death: that he did not feel."

"And it was awfully strange, he thought, how she still had the power, as she came tinkling, rustling, still had the power as she came across the roong, to make the moon, which he detested, rise at Bourton on the terrace in the summer sky."

and i was MOVED! moved when i tell you!!!

going from mediocre writing to the language woolf puts down on her pages is what i imagine it feels like to meet god after living through hell

službeno ne vjerujem mišljenju svih koji uzdižu prozu ovog čovjeka jer bože sačuvaj idk kad sam zadnji put pročitala veću katastrofu. što smo bliže kraju to mi sve više ide na živce.

čim se uživim u priču eto backmanovog stila pisanja da me podsjeti kako mi ide na živce. ako bi samo odustali od pokušaja pisanja paragrafa koje se može screenat i stavit na pinterest skužili bi da se nešto i može postić sa njegovim stilom, ali ne. tip ide u prevelike ekstreme i onda se neminovno dogodi da emocionalne scene gube svoj naboj i samo postaju farsa. užasno frustrirajuće

freud is my worst enemy but everywhere i go i see his inflences. other than my trauma response, i'm enjoying it much more this reread. it's a really dense text to attempt to grasp just once.

here i am once again

jag måste döda någon (björnstad)

rereading this hot and sexy diva bcs i didn't write notes the first timeeee

i'm so indecisive ab this man's writing style. one second the whole thing has this fairytale feel to it (which actually mixes perfectly with the theme of a town which idolises a sport like a sacred figure) and then the next i feel like i'm reading an ai fanfic. it's driving me insane

nisam najveći fan ove lelujave fokalizacije i do gotta say. vidit ćemo kako će nadalje bit

idk when was the last time i had this much fun with a book where i have to stop myself from reading too quickly. i'm begging any god out there (if they exist) that this energy continues in the second half. in other news, i've had lady patience for 5-ish pages and she's my fave. if she ends up being a monster, what can you do. everyone makes mistakes.

"by my count, i was thirteen years old."

stop the count stop it and leave diva leaveeeeeeeeeee

i'm having so much fuuuuuun this child will suffer but i'm having fuuuuuuuuuuun

"Han ser femtonåringen vända runt med klubban mjukt i handen och ta sats och sätta blixtrande fart på nytt, och Sune ska minnas detta som en av sina verkliga välsignelser i livet: att få se det omöjliga hända i Björnstad för tredje gången."

backman loves his repetition and i'm very much intrigued where this will go

robin hobb, describe my life please
