You are a reader! The book I read from that list is Beloved. I had just headed back to college after years in the work force, and I fell deeply into this book.What an experience--I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
props for getting through Jawbone with a teen girl aversion, that sounds like a nightmare for you hehehe. i love an excruciating read, so it was right up my alley.
and so pleased the Hill House re-read was kind to you! it took me a while to kinda get what the deal was with that one, but as soon as i let go of expectations and let the ambiance of the prose carry me through it became really enjoyable.
I really didnt know I had the aversion until reading this but girls and their bodies are kinda gross, no? it has truly stuck with me though, I think i may like it more the further away i get from the reading experience
it does take a while to get what the deal is you are right! letting go of expectations with the classics seems to be the best method
Let’s go Crime & Punishment !!! i also feel an inadequacy to properly ‘understand’ is so right here w you! I’m just gonna treat it like…. A normal book 🤪 we can do this 🫶
The only one I’ve read is Stoner, and your description of it was spot on. When I was done, I tried asking myself if I enjoyed it, and decided the word that best described how I felt was satisfied.
I loved Crime & Punishment, precisely because reading it was a slog and FELT like a punishment, which was so meta and I found that very oddly satisfying as well.
I need a better sense of this couch, please. I’m having couch envy.
