Arin baby i have missed you dearly

No greater feeling than having a hypothesis of yours be proven right - I NEED LUNCHBREAK TO FINISH READING

i dont trust anyone in this book PIRANESI BABY GET BEHIND MEEEEEE

oh i am about to hate EVERYONEEEEEEEE piranesi get behind me right tf now

so confused yet so fascinated at the same time

will i enjoy it be honest

oh shiiiiiiiiiii

Nearly done and i simply don't see why everyone is so up in arms and angry about the fact that this is too "didactic" and "in your face"???

this is literally how all conversations about colonialism and empire are had - real life discussions about this stuff do not coat the reality in sugar, because the naked truth is what inspires resistance

oh and also - when i say i was GAGGED:

"English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular. And Robin found it incredible, how this country, whose citizens prided themselves so much on being better than the rest of the world, could not make it through an afternoon tea without borrowed goods."

"The wealth of Britain depends on coercive extraction. And as Britain grows, only two options remain: either her mechanisms of coercion become vastly more brutal, or she collapses. The former's more likely. But it might bring about the latter."

oh she HATESSSSS british colonialism im gagged

in the mood to be more pissed off at colonialism!

i have so much to say and im so excited to finish and give a real review

' "Wouldnt it have been easier just to kiss me?"

"and deny myself any pleasure?"

He smiled, startling us both.'

Hey so i just screamed deep into the void

idk why it took me so long to pick up the sequel but im having a wonderful time - rare event when the sequel is just as good - or perhaps better - than the first book
