havvvevee you guys Heard .... JDashn*r just said the new m*ze runn*r book is called the maze cutter...... im gonna end it all. im gonna read this book and end it all themn

should i buy two whole books considering ive got 110 unread books at home and have not been able to read at all this year so far

the number of times ive seen the words pastoral and rustic in the notes and introduction to daphnis and chloe is nauseating

ah yes the classic "i think theyre dating in a gay way but nope he's just gonna adopt him as his son". anyways An Ephesian Tale was a wild ride but Chariton did it better

omg NOT a tragic gay love story in my heterosexual romance novel pls this is so sad xenophon better write a happy ending for them all or else

really enjoying another fascinating story about the perils of being too sexy for this world and having men and women fall for you wherever you go and making you marry them despite you having a spouse

im going to be reading SO much of this in the next three months and though im not sure i'll get thru the whole thing i still want this on record

Chariton's Chaereas and Callirhoe is a delight to have been following along and i entreat you all to subject yourself to the absolute gem of a romantic tragicomedy that it is, happy ending included

кто-нибудь объяснит мне почему я начала необъяснимо и безостановочно рыдать когда Слепой только вышел в Лес страниц пять до того как спустился в подвал. что это за пиздец такой эта книжка меня убьет

мне говорили, что эти книжки либо сразу ненавидишь, либо сразу падаешь в них и остаешься как влитой, как будто туда тебе и дорога. мне это конечно сразу же напомнило моих любимых лисов из пальметто, и конечно сейчас я могу сказать что в Доме я остаюсь

i am OBSESSED with this you don't understand omg

oh my Fucking god if the entire point of this book ends up being some shit like the mc was actually infected with the Virus all along but metaphorically of course because the symptoms are getting stuck in a routine and though she is immune and survives she does not escape the routine and just lives in it all her life – if this is the point of the book idk like im dropping out

idk if its covid ruining my love for dystopian fiction or this book is just a very well-written and very carefully constructed masterful but soulless narrative existing solely for the purpose of topping nyt bestselling lists and having college essays written about it

this is like. super boring. its not even good enough to entertain me on a transatlantic flight i dont think :/

am i tripping or is this just the same general thing over and over again. like i get it i guess and im once again grateful for a comprehensive list of royal women in ancient persia but dude. dude

so yes im happy this book exists because i love women and i wish we had more info on women of the past but on the other hand im so frustrated because so far this is mostly marriage shenanigans and no actual woman in sight. which i also understand the reason behind.BUT STILL. the part about royal mothers is super helpful tho

mr bingley is golden retriever in human form

okay this is. this is making me feel a lot and very intensely

so far the most enjoyable thing about this book is the fact that i got it second-hand from my uni bookstore and it was signed and personalized to travis. there was also a check for a wholesale order of cotton from texas, and i am in toronto currently. so. so. so

mr bennet is insufferable. i adore this man

bro i literally just wanna read all of Le Carré's books now what is this

the way i procrastinated reading this til the very last day and am struggling to even say for sure if i retained the 130 pages of an extremely elaborate story with a bajillion characters with tons of backstories that i read in one sitting. the way i actually enjoy this and would love to have had a brain to start this earlier. the way i am cursed with pandemic brain forever now

every single slavic boris in the english-language literature seems to be the most depressed man of the decade

данила-бесобой реально пришел и устроил азазелю-вечному падшему ангелу экзистенциальный кризис

боже это прекрасно

if there's ever like a five-year long stretch of me not rereading this book i'd suggest checking for my pulse at the time
