  • Fascism: A Warning
    Thoughts from 54% (page 137)

    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.

    “Any 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.”

    “we acknowledge that we have failed to follow the guidance of our religion, so that we have become an argument against it.”

    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.

  • Intermezzo
    Thoughts from 9%

    I forgot how much I love Sally Rooney’s writing! I enjoyed Normal People but I heard there were some people who didn’t like Intermezzo for various reasons, but I’m really enjoying the tone so far.

    Don’t you love it when an author’s books are interesting and different, but feel the same? It’s like that feeling of coming home 🥰.

  • pjo reread

    i’m getting the urge that reread the pjo (percy jackson) series for the umpteenth time, when my tbr seems to be never ending. i know y’all 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) i’ve never annotated my pjo books 🏛️
