You know I was debating this, but after the fifth “everyone working in the US army should die” post I scrolled politely past, I’ve decided to give everyone something to read, and watch.
319 pages ; 20 cm
These are both essentially the same story, but I highly recommend you read the book first if you can. I read it in high school and I have NEVER forgotten it.
If you do read or watch this story, please feel free to come back here and talk about it. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
The Joy-Luck Club is such a treasure. I will say, even on reread, it’s hard to remember which are the mother-daughter pairs. Two different characters having divorces and the random-seeming order of chapters doesn’t help. But the book is gorgeous. The little connections, the richness of the story, and the emotion, authentic, honest, raw behind both the daughters and mothers are stark and beautiful. Amy Tan is such a good author, and her gift for last sentences is genuine. With my little chart to keep people straight, an all-time read.
Jack Aubrey & Stephen Maturin
from the Aubrey-Maturin or Master and Commander series (1969-1999) by Patrick O'Brian
are Aubrey & Maturin queer?
yes, they've at least kissed
yes, they have feelings for each other but wouldn't act on it
yes, they're both queer but platonic
one of them is queer / unrequited feelings / another infinitely nuanced answer
no, they're not queer
I don't know these characters / see results
Propaganda:
Stephen decides to become Jack’s ship’s surgeon within like two days of meeting him, then they spend like a decade (time in the series is weird) sailing together.

Ugh this book was so good. I've been in such a reading slump and yet these 700 pages flew by so fast.

They can't turn me out or shut me out or laugh at me or hide from me; I won't go, and Hill House belongs to ME.

Chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby is the funniest thing to me. Gatsby judging Nick's lawn. Gatsby being so unable to talk to his crush that he does a full lap around and outside the house in the rain and comes back in through the front door. Nick standing in the hallway, hearing them making painfully awkward conversation, thinking to himself, 'Gee, well, nothing to be doing in this hallway. Guess. I'm going. In the living room.' Everything with that goddamn mantle clock. Nick getting up to go be literally anywhere else for a sec and Gatsby saying 'Where are you going??' like dude don't leave me I don't know what I'm doing!! Daisy crying into Gatsby's innumerable shirts. Gatsby insisting that his tenant play the piano because he's having a Special Moment with his crush. Iconic stuff, reads like a sitcom.
