reading this again

side interest, lol

november feels like the perfect time to read this book

if this reread doesn’t get me out of my reading slump, I don’t know what will

made literally zero progress before having to return this to the library, but I will come back to it!

I wasn’t going to read this because it’s kinda gross but julianne moore is narrating so I’m going against my morals

I don’t care about mysteries, DNFing for now

A reread because I’m listening to it and Patti Smith is narrating… love.

I don’t know why people hate this novel so much, I found the AI perspective super interesting and endearing. There were quite a few narrative holes that could have been better explained, but, for this novel, it just works. I had to remind myself that the reader is learning about and observing the world alongside Klara, hence why we do not receive all the answers.

Incredibly difficult to rate, as Gay’s story is so personal, brutal, and honest. Very touching and sad.

This is totally tragedy-porn; I don’t know if I’m digging reading it anymore, but I’m so invested in the characters that I can’t stop.

Sigh. It’s sad.

I’m never starting the year with a 700 page novel again! Anyways, I almost welled up at the end of part III.

So far, so good. Obviously sad but not as sad as people say… though, there are still ~600 more pages to be read.
