Was a bit worried at first given the medieval setting, but it reads very similarly to my year of rest and relaxation. It took me a bit longer to get into this one, but once you're like 50 pages in and you realize where the plot is going, I think it picks up a lot!

loveyoulikeawoman 162 Posted October 9, 2022 I just finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt and had the most amazing reading experience! It is such an immersive book! I can't stop thinking about it, and I will probably read it again soon. 0 Quote Just do it, don't wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Whore 51,331 Posted January 10, 2023 last summer, i tried reading under the dome by stephen king and liked it, but couldn't find myself understanding some important beats about it. so i wanna go back and finish it, maybe if i kept reading i'd end up liking it better. also, really wanna read dune messiah, i hated it when i first tried it but i've heard the third book is fantastic, but the second book sets it up so i should finish it soon. and the last one i'm tackling right now don't judge me is the outlander series, i'm on the second book right now, about a third of the way through it 0 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

less 364 Posted March 20, 2023 I am reading a book called The Time Regulation Institute ; this thing is 450 pages long. I am at page 280 and dude is finally talking about what we are here for, after being irrelevant for so long. It' kinda like I decided to write a book about my job - home help for old people - but first i wrote about my father, then my two first years of studies aka the two best years of my life, then an analysis of all the house moves I have done in this life, then I talked about that one friend, to finally come about the job in question lmaooo why writing things that have nothing to do with anything ??? The style is immaculate tho Other than that I have read Gatsby this year and wow I recommend. The anxiety this character is feeling. Awesome to read 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LemonadeTea 536 Posted March 31, 2023 I just started a new translation of the odyssey. It’s supposed to be more positive regarding the way it translates elements about the women in it so I have high hopes 1 Quote ღ✭𝓲 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓫𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓸𝓷𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂, 𝓲 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓫𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓵𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓵𝓮 𝓭𝓪𝓲𝓻𝔂 𝓺𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷✭ღ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
