books I’ve read in 2022 📖 no. 034

Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr

“A text—a book—is a resting place for the memories of people who have lived before. A way for the memory to stay fixed after the soul has traveled on. But books, like people, die. They die in fires or floods or in the mouths of worms or at the whims of tyrants. If they are not safeguarded, they go out of the world. And when a book goes out of the world, the memory dies a second death.”

She closes her eyes. He probably won’t be back, she thinks. Or he will, differently. What they have now they can never have again. But for her the pain of loneliness will be nothing to the pain she used to feel, of being unworthy. He brought her goodness like a gift and now it belongs to her. Meanwhile his life opens out before him in all directions at once. They’ve done a lot of good for each other. Really, she thinks, really. People can really change one another. You should go, she says, I’ll always be here. You know that.

NORMAL PEOPLE (2020) dir. Lenny Abrahamson, Hettie Macdonald

being just like other girls is so fun. taylor swift and twilight and rom coms, "I didn't have it in myself to go with grace", little women and midsommar, crystals and plants and wandavision, "she would've made such a lovely bride what a shame she's fucked in the head", olivia rodrigo, florence pugh, tangled and howl's moving castle, "women have minds as well as just hearts, and they've got ambition and talent as well as just beauty", pride and prejudice, "if I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it", squishmallows, harry styles, mitski and phoebe bridgers and ukuleles and led lights, polaroids, makeup, planning outfits, "what is grief if not love persevering", pink, literally what's not to love

It’s coming. I see a holy war spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire. A warrior religion that waves the Atreides banner in my father’s name. Fanatical legions worshiping at the shrine of my father’s skull! A war in my name! Everyone’s shouting my name!

DUNE (2021) dir. Denis Villeneuve

MAKE ME CHOOSE — @selkanes asked bluesey or pynch

right after he spoke, blue threw her arms tightly around his neck. right after he spoke, she pressed her face into the side of his. right after he spoke, she held him like a shouted word. love, love, love.
