this is absolute cinema i tell you

"fatty looks round enquiringly" I'M SOBBINGGGGGG GET HIM BOYS

"you'll never make anything of your life, bäumer," I CACKLED LMAOOOOO

"he says he means to use the fat that slowly accumulates in the tin-lid for polishing his boots, and roars with laughter for half an hour at his own joke." WALLAH HE'S SO ME IJBOLLLL

"the pale hour makes our faces look grey." ouhh my god the ivory hour core.. tell me why it's on page 60 too.. something something the ivory hour isn't just the hour of peace edith and len feel meeting each other but also the early hours where the boys trudge along in the war and they're so alone that everything is bright again in the world and their faces are illuminated in ivory. my book is going to be GENIUS!

"am i crying?" I AM!

never thought i'd be reading a description of earth that's mildly sexual yet still works.. but here we are!

love these boys so bad
