a little life by hanya Yanagihara
every part of this is either boring or trauma porn; there’s no in between. i liked the talk about axioms. that really shows you how little i cared for this, my favorite parts were about mathematical theory. there is so much repetition it’s exhausting. this could have easily been half its size and lost nothing. why the fuck does this need to be so long ? 816 pages ? to say what? abuse is bad and friends are good ? 3/10
mimis tales of horror by junji ito
my bestie calls me and says, “i’m in barnes and they have the new junji ito, do you want me to grab it for you?” “yes 😭 yes i do😭”
this one was really fun, scary, and all the things i want out of a junji ito work. does anyone know if he does his own english translations these days ? this one had so much more slang in it than usual; the wording was so much more casual. it was fitting, since it’s told from a teengirls perspective, but i’m still curious if it’s because the translator changed, or because he’s learned more english colloquialisms, or what. the editor note says it’s because it’s set in kansai, but i’ve noticed this change with the other recent translations as well. my favorite story was grave placement, but my favorite drawings were the one from seashore. he is so fucking creative. he blows me away. i love the way he’s able to represent movement in drawings. i bet his nightmares are terrifying. 8.5/10
the blind assassin by margaret atwood
this one’s a book, about a book, in which there is a guy who tells stories. meta, but easy to follow. in typical atwood fashion there are like three “twists”, but atypical to atwood they are very predictable. they are probably meant to be predictable though, because they are heavily foreshadowed, and i know atwood can burry a lead very well, if she wants to. this woman (usually) knows how to work a red herring. didn’t love this one. i was waiting for more than half the book for the book(s) to start and then by page 400 i was like ,,, okay i guess this just IS the book then ??? it felt like reading a boring biography of someone i do not know about or care to know about. i’ll probably forget about it in a months time. i did love the writing, and some phrases might stick with me, nothing to do with plot though. reminds me of plaths journals, nothing too exciting happening, but beautifully written. my favorite parts were the stories inside the book inside the book, they reminded me of vonnegut, maybe because that’s the only sci-fi i read. can’t think of a single reason this needed to be so damn long. 10/10 writing, 2/10 plot, so i guess 6/10 book overall? painful to say, or type i guess.
the testaments by margaret atwood
this book is straight crack. it’s somehow even better than the first one. i kept forgetting to breathe. i couldn’t stop reading to eat. i couldn’t have stopped reading if you put a gun to my head. words can not do it justice, at least not my puny, myopic words. i gave the handmaids tale a 10/10, and this one’s even better imo, so i guess i’ll have to break the scale for this rating and go 11/10. i might even go as far as 12 if the cover wasn’t so damn ugly. the beginning seemed drawn out and the ending seems rushed, but i didn’t dislike the pacing enough to let it impact my overall rating

the penelopiad by margaret atwood
my least favorite atwood so far, but that’s not her fault, i just don’t give a fuck about the odyssey. i hadn’t read it since highschool, but luckily that didn’t seem to matter. i did like this version a lot better than homer’s. this version is told from penelope’s perspective and makes odysseus out to be a real jerk (as if the original didn’t already.) 7/10
please stop messaging me about how you miss b/g content and want to see me get fucked. it’s not my fault i haven’t found someone worth fucking in the past 9 months (not like the ones i was fucking before that were worth it either.) it’s not my fucking fault that i was dumped 6 days before a major surgery to have my endometriosis excised and an ovarian tumor removed. if i found someone i wanted to fuck, then i would fucking fuck them. there are HUNDREDS of sex tapes on my page. find them. watch them. i’m almost positive you haven’t seen them all. if you want someone who is regularly posting new sex tapes, then subscribe to someone else. i’m making solo stuff rn, as i have been for the past 9 months. i only want people on here that support me whether i am solo or coupled up. i only want people on here that have my interests in mind. i don’t want people on here that are constantly pressuring me to fuck when i don’t want to. who the fuck wants to forc3 someone into sex ? you guys apparently. put yourself in my shoes. a lot of you also are going through dry spells or are virgins. imagine everyday you think about how you just want to love and to be loved and how you’re slightly saddened to be alone. now imagine on top of that you get about three messages and comments each day about how you need to get laid. now stfu bc next person to complain is getting restricted.
