God I’m almost done. I probably would feel deeper invested into the book if it didn’t feel so misogynistic bc there are really strong parts

Well, reading a book within a book is always a bit boring for me. Taking another break

Pausing - the initial violence Winston feels for Julia is like... very hard to forget/overlook - which maybe/hopefully has a narrative purpose at some point but feels very gross. I don't want to give this ~ being an old book ~ as an excuse for a violent fantasy

I think I'm getting close to the point where I stopped reading and never picked the book up again
