Struggling to get through this tbh :/

This is the kind of book you want to take your time with so you can linger on every beautiful sentence.

'For it was murder of the spirit, she reasoned, to cultivate a black child to hanker after the physical characteristics of the white.'

Aahh... Sonny's Blues.

'People are too empty-headed, too empty-hearted - it's always been like that, people always try to destroy what they don't understand - and they hate almost everything because they understand so little - '

'I felt that I was drowning; that hatred had corrupted me like cancer in the bone.'

'I'm worried about what's happening to me, to me, inside. I don't walk the streets, I crawl.'

I could sense something dreadful was about to happen... I was right.

Aah Baldwin. How I've missed you.

I have become quite fond of this novel

'Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.'

'She had loved without being asked to love, - a natural, sometimes an inevitable chance, but big with misery.' Some real gems in this book so far!

Finally getting into this *phew*
