The content in this book is so important but I am really struggling with the writing style. It's not only mostly dry passages, the organization jumps around a lot; I feel like I'm trying to read six different textbooks simultaneously. I think with a stronger editor this book could've been a lot more compelling than it is. Sorry, Albright.

âAny place he [European man] goes he takes control of its resources⌠and turns them into profit⌠and if he does harm to the original inhabitants, it is only that he pursues happiness in this world and seeks it wherever he may find it⌠For the most part he uses his intellect, but when circumstances require it, he deploys force⌠What drives the Englishman to dwell in India and the French in Algeria⌠is profit and the desire to acquire resources in countries where the inhabitants do not know their value nor how to profit from them.⌠When they encounter a nation like ours, with a degree of civilisation, with a past, and a religion⌠and customs and⌠institutions⌠they deal with its inhabitants kindly. But they do soon acquire its most valuable resources, because they have greater wealth and intellect and knowledge and force.â

You're lucky I'm at work and I don't have time right now to write an essay about magic as a queer allegory, but the magic is a queer allegory.

I forgot how much I love Sally Rooneyâs writing! I enjoyed Normal People but I heard there were some people who didnât like Intermezzo for various reasons, but Iâm really enjoying the tone so far.
Donât you love it when an authorâs books are interesting and different, but feel the same? Itâs like that feeling of coming home đĽ°.

iâm getting the urge that reread the pjo (percy jackson) series for the umpteenth time, when my tbr seems to be never ending. i know yâall are enablers (affectionate) and are gonna tell me to just go ahead and do id and i probably will but i just wanted to discuss rereads/how often you think is acceptable to reread books? my excuse for this reread is a) i never read the Trials of Apollo books and i need a refresher on the rest and b) iâve never annotated my pjo books đď¸
