last night i finally finished the first (and main) section of the book, "A Factless Autobiography", spanning almost 400 pages. it made me think about the passages i read on the train in my first year of university, and about how, after years, i recently picked it up again on a whim. although it's taking me a while to get through, i'm really glad i'm taking it slow because now i have fond memories attached to the book

honestly i think is going to become one of my favorite books, 1) because of Pessoa's gorgeous writing style, 2) because i can relate to Bernando Soares's feelings/impressions a lot and 3) because i just find it all really interesting to grapple with, both from a literary and "philosophical" standpoint (i underlined and tabbed so much !!)

this book is making me fall in love with reading all over again
