I still can't get over the fact that these men would sleep with anyone and everything that moved and then their poor wives would have to be subjected to them and all the diseases they for sure brought, it's so gross

Got this book from my granny and I've always wanted to read Stilwell and I guess this one's as good as any to start!!

"He tells her how he worries that none of it means anything. That none of it is important. That who he is, or who he thinks he is, is just a collection of references to other people's art and he is so focused on story and meaning and structure that he wants his world to have all of it neatly laid out and it never, ever does and he fears it never will." Relating to this sm it's like a punch in the gut

Oh... To have someone continue to write your favourite story because you wanted it to have more and be neverending... That's so romantic, I'm in shock

"Strange, isn't it? To love a book. When the words on the pages become so precious that they feel like part of your own history because they are. It's nice to finally have someone read stories I know so intimately. Which was your favorite?" *feral noises*

At that point where I don't know if I want to keep reading and know how this ends or if I should pace my reading because I don't want it to end 😭

"She rose from her chair by the fire and took the innkeeper by the hand into her room and into her bed and the wind howled around the inn, crying for love found and mourning for love lost. For no mortal can love the moon. Not for long." My heart hurts

I'm foaming at the mouth at how good this book is

Starting Part II Fortunes and Fables while at the beach seems like heaven to me actually

Devouring this one and I'm genuinely so happy

IM LOVING THIS SO MUCH AAAA

"Could someone have predicted him, down to his shoelaces? Does that mean the rest of it could be true? That someone there are tongueless acolytes in a subterranean library? It doesn't seem fair to him to be the solitary real person in a collection of fictional characters, though he supposes the pirate and the girl could be real." I'm actually so into this whole plot. Imagine being the only real one, which is scarier?

"Reading a novel, he supposes, is like playing a game where all the choices have been made for you ahead of time by someone who is much better at this particular game. (Though he sometimes wishes choose-your-own-adventure novels would come back into fashion.)" I just know this book will be amazing 🧐 feeling an all-time favourite coming on tbh

Don't mind me, starting another book. I'm such a mood reader, but I'm already loving the writing

"O coração afeiçoa‑se aos lugares onde sofreu ou gozou, quando o gozo não é crime, nem o sofrimento a desesperação da alma corrompida. As alegrias do ímpio, e as tristezas do perverso, essas não deixam traços indeléveis de suavíssima saudade ou branda mágoa no coração." wow. okok

THE DRAMA

Doing another revision for a new edition of this book ✨ I love my job
