from my #reading: “How I wish I had shoulders like his. Maybe I wouldn’t long for them if I had them? Muvi star. Did i want to be like him? Did I want to be him? Or did I just want to have him? Or are ‘being’ and ‘having’ thoroughly inaccurate verbs in the twisted skein of #desire, where having someone’s body to touch and being that someone we’re longing to touch are one and the same, just opposite banks on a river that passes from us to them, back to us and over to them again this perpetual circuit where the chamber of the heart, like the trapdoors of desire, and the wormholes of time, and the false-bottomed drawer we call identity share a beguiling logic according to which the shortest distance between who we are and what we want, is a twisted staircase designed with the impish cruelty of #mcescher.” #callmebyyourname, #andreaciman • • • • • #reading #books #read #bookstagram #book #booklover #igreads #instabook #reader #literature #library #instabooks #ilovebooks #hotguy #sexyguy #malebody #hothunk #hotboy #hotbody #hotmen #sexyman #sexyboy #instaguy #hunk #hotgay #hotguys (at Bryant Park)
