[ammapola]

I think about them at least twice a day

[cuddlycryptid]

my favorite thing about babel is how nerdy the characters are,,,schoolwork is so fundamental to their existence that literally everything is homework to them. being a spy? covering up a murder?? overthrowing an imperialist empire??? haha yeah man its just like doing a big assignment

This has actually nothing to do with the contents of the book itself, and if there is relevance to the story at all please don't spoil it, but does anyone know why the hardcover of Babel has the lettering in Gold and not Silver? I'm reading it in family bookclub and noticed last night that everyone else has the paperback version and the lettering is Silver, which obviously makes sense, but my hardback is Gold. Maybe it means nothing but I just thought it was interesting and might have meaning.

Reading and annotating about "Babel".

This has been on my TBR almost for a couple of years and I am glad I am finally here. Annotating on my notebook because it is a library book.

Babel | Author: R.F Kuang (5/5)

I took a time to breath and think about what to say about Babel. First, I would love to thank the author, because besides the wonderful writing, she seems so open minded, smart, intelligent and very educated about so many topics. (Which doesn’t surprise me since she went to Yale).

Babel is such an excellent book about different topics, wars, racism, capitalism, prejudice, xenophobia and others important topics and issues that we have in the world. But the form she writes about it, it’s so natural and fascinating. I was enchanted with the characters and the bond they shared in their group. Plus, I didn’t know it was a dark academy book, which I also loved when I figured out.

You can notice and feel all the frustration, fear, anger, love, hope and others feelings about what Robin was living while in Babel. (Also, all the chapters quotes matches perfectly about the story.) — Robin had a sad, lonely and suffering childhood. I was happy because the author could raise feelings that you start to feel together. The hope about Babel and their future. The work with the silver, the new friends, new family. But he made the painful and right decision to be against such terrible system.

Robin didn’t deserve the end the had, none of them. But I feel that rebellions supposed to be like this, sad, full of anger and fighting for their rights and beliefs. It’s pretty much what we see in Star Wars, for example.

I really loved the way the author was using the different languages and cultures to make all of them together. It’s a really beau
