what if the meaning of life on earth is not eternal progress toward some unspecified goal — the engineering and production of more and more powerful technologies, the development of more and more complex and abstruse cultural forms? what if these things just rise and recede naturally, like tides, while the meaning of life remains the same always — just to live and be with other people?

thought rereading this would fix me but it's actually making me worse. this is the best book ever written, by the way.

i relate to alice because i, too, eat nothing but pasta

this is good but i don't have any strong feelings about it either way. i can't help noticing how well this would translate to the screen. eileen and simon are still the best part about it

all my fans out there know i only update books at perfect numbers but idc i wanna make my silly little jokes. eileen and simon making me blush

not hating it but alice and felix truly make me want to bash my head against a wall
