apologies to Pete Dexter and the book Train but I simply can't do the amount of racism and woman-hating for the sake of violence and dare I say shock value. I'm sure it gets better but I can't stand it. bye

One last bit of this book left!

vibes based unsettling

GOING TO A MASSIVE USED BOOK SALE THIS WEEK

very strange and distant prose- too close, too far, a mirror touch away from normal

It’s in vogue to be incredibly untethered from the self

esther greenwood you are going to kill me

"Diaphoreisis" and "Losers" were particularly strong here. I still love essays man

This is going to be a good one I can already feel it

getting better i'll be honest

so there was some plot? but wtf man

reading for spite at this point

why is this so bad

sorry guys finishing this today

What in the plot… getting insane whiplash from reading Brontë syntax right to this…

Oh YA i’ve missed you

I need a lil fairytale fantasy rn but wtf is this pacing??

Is this… a happy moment for Jane?

This book is genuinely INSANE
and it would still be insane if published today

Back ob ny rating change grind

Almost done!!

Very atmospheric

Covid being plot points in novels… uhh

Mr. Rochester Byronic hero era

Fascinating setting meets fascinating mind
obviously amazing

NOT HELEN!!

gonna have to read this in two weeks for school

pray for me (excited though)

fun fact me and Mrs. Didion are birthday twins so I'm henceforth obligated to read all her work now

"Broadside Ballads"- Passionate writing on the era when intertwining music and political activism was a radical act

"My Brilliant Friend"- Maggie Nelson seems like she had the intellectual prep-school HS experience I wish I had.
- Also gorgeous and meditative.
-Oh god I need to read more Ferrante.

still very good!
