Reading every book on my shelf one by one because I haven’t read as much as I pretend to

Good, bad, and very bad deaths.Bad ones are people who were bad.Yeah.She says the better a person is,the smaller a gap their death leaves.This also makes sense.People move closer together from the death of a deeply loved one.All the surviving members leave together, maybe even with the departed one trailing along with them

haven’t read a single page past this yet. I don’t want to because there is only one thing like this and Modesta is one of the best characters I’ve read in a novel. Everyone do yourself a favor and read this

I would love a dramatis personae

waittt 😭 this is kinda gaggy

Reading this is staring at a shallow river and then jumping in and swimming with it below the surface. And then while you’re in his flow he’ll write something even more beautiful and that’ll kill you

this is the kind of writing that gives me absolute pleasure but doesn’t blow me away. and i fuck with that

reading with Dom!

Already I am obsessed

Hit after hit after hit god damn it

The way the form and content mimic the improvisational quality of jazz music is a truly beautiful experience

I have literally no words, this is one of the best books I’ve ever read

“May you be blessed, where you’re going, for all of eternity.
May you be blessed, may you live in paradise full of trees and fresh earth, greenery, and lots of dogs.”

“May you be cursed where you’re going, too, for all of eternity.
May you be cursed and condemned to live in a hell without boys.”

I will say the story is taking a turn where Lenu has somehow developed a sort of omniscience that is not clear, and I’m interested to see if that is a result of her finding things out later from received info or she’s just switched into omniscience OR she just is imagining. Throwing me off a tad

How is no one talking about this….

sweet sweet torture
