Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last—inexorably—into evil.
I’m taking a break from that book for a little time… it seems good, but it’s taking WAY too long to start… I know that book is the mother of dark academia but so for im mostly bored more than anything So I will be reading other thing and will come back to it eventually … maybe on audiobook?
Chapter 7 "Slowly, slowly, with a drugged, fathomless calm, Henry bent and picked up a handful of dirt. He held it over the grave and let it trickle from his fingers. Then, with terrible composure, he stepped back and absently dragged the hand across his chest, smearing mud upon his lapel, his tie, the starched immaculate white of his shirt." I loved the ending of this chapter. Henry smearing dirt on himself as they buried Bunny could be analysed in many different ways. However, what truly unsettled me was the chilling detachment and numbness in Richard's perspective as he recounts the funeral. His emotional distance makes Bunny's death even more haunting.
I feel like it could be good but god this book is so long to start????
