Me when I'm a romantic at heart

Just a place for @willgrahamsdivacup to talk about the things he's been reading, as well as a space to be romantic and sentimental about absolutely everything.

thinking about how holden’s hand injury and the role it plays during his fight with stradlater not only symbolizes his inability to protect jane’s (and allie’s) innocence but also holden’s inability to fight—both literally and emotionally

it's okay, ulysses ogre. you can back up and try dubliners, it's a short story collection with much more straightforward prose, you can dive deep on one piece at a time, and once you've toyed around with that then I'm sure you'll have an easier time with ulysses. besides, I had an irish lit professor who'd been studying finnegans wake for twenty years and she said she still didn't really know what was going on in it. ulysses ogre, what really matters is if you are enjoying your time with literature and feel like you are gaining something, not whether you reach the "correct" conclusions. there's no need to try and force yourself through something if you feel like you aren't on an even enough plane with the text to reap any of its rewards.
