i’m on verse 1 kings 10:1

so, basically anyone who wasn’t an israelite that they didn’t exterminate was enslaved…got it…

i’m on verse 1 kings 8:22

i love that it will give you 5 paragraphs of the most detailed construction of the temple or the palace, etc. and it is always followed up with a summary paragraph just in case the detailed paragraphs are too much, you still get the gist

this is giving me the heebie jeebies in all the right ways

i’m on verse 1 kings 3:1

bro, solomon gets named king and then just starts killing people left and right lol

i’m on verse 1 kings 1:1

finally out of the samuel’s. i’m like super unsure why 2 samuel ends with god being pissed off? lit’s like “david is dying, here are his last words” and then immediately it’s “god had contempt for israel and he can either start a famine, war or plague, your choice david”. like, girl what happened?

one ray bradbudy book a year is good for the soul

when in doubt, read ray bradbury

this is, eh, intriguing enough that i don’t hate it. however, i’m putting it down for a minute so i can actually read something i know i’ll enjoy.

it’s clear this man has never had sex before and my god, i can’t believe he made me read that.
(also, the teen’s age changed to 17 again)

the age for the voluptuous teenager (that the secondary character who is 60ish years old is now confirmed to be fucking) has changed 4 times now
at first she was 15
then 16
then 17
now she’s back to being 16 but turning 17 in a few weeks. it’s disgusting

my niche lately has been “white men writing just a barely good enough overall plot but absolutely horrific in the way they go about it but i can’t stop reading”

his infatuation with having the protagonist fuck a 16 year old is so weird

“the kind of gentle flirting that a father does with a daughter throughout girlhood so she knows she’s attractive, potent, desired; all the small comments, the fond looks that become the foundation of a woman’s deep confidence.”

GIRL WHAT?! HELL NO. NASTY, NASTY MAN. Buddy, if you’ve done this to your daughter. both of y’all need to go the therapy 😭🤢

“[…] immediately subsequent to the ultimate moist spasm and tender cry.” this man has never actually made a woman orgasm.
“[…] the country had seemed as poor as he was himself and free with the freedom of poverty.” this man has never experienced poverty and it shows.
“[…] stop acting like a slut,” this man has never talked to a teenager before in his life.
white saviorism all over the place.

he struggles with man writing a woman syndrome

me? hate reading a book again? you’re goddamn right

this man pulls 18pt words out of his asshole like a thesaurus but uses the word “niggling” twice within two pages? red flag 🚩

jesus fuck, i just bet this man is a pompous ass based off his writing alone

i’m back with my usual complaint of “there’s a lot of big words i don’t know”. but this time around, when i google them, they like barely make sense in context lol. ol’ buddy thinks this is scrabble or something

i’m on verse 2 samuel 20:1

“[…] heaven is analogous to our world.”
“[…] we must take the well-being of people very seriously.”

this book may actually very well convert me lol, i don’t wanna go to hell ;o;
