🍻📚📚📚continuing my goofy project of writing drunk college essays (not to send, just for fun) :P ((so far, they’ve all ended up being somehow about Donna Tartt cuz I’m obsessed with her right now :P))

for this one I was actually high ;) it’s based on a supplemental essay question from Hampshire College (Amherst, MA):

what have you recently learned that you find fascinating? what else do you want to learn on this topic & how will you deepen your knowledge on it?

"Our entire society is based on discontent.  People wanting more and more and more. Being constantly dissatisfied with their homes, their bodies, their décor, their clothes, everything – taking it for granted that that’s the whole point of life. Never to be satisfied. If you are perfectly happy with what you got, especially if what you got isn’t even all the spectacular then you’re dangerous. You’re breaking all the rules. You’re undermining the sacred economy. You’re challenging every assumption that society is built on.

Daniel in The Likeness by Tana French

If you ask someone often enough for long enough when he is trying to do enough other things, sooner or later he will say yes just to shut you up.

Colleen: "It's a pretty straightforward murder mystery, which I usually don't go for. My mom recommended it to me because we were talking about how much we enjoy a good story. She goes through a book a week and we often make recommendations to each other. We're very close and share a lot of experiences – books and reading are a reflection of that. In my twenties, I would have never thought that we would get along so well. She was a stay-at-home mom and was familiar with things like cooking and gardening, which seemed so anti-modern to me. Now that we live together and she helps me take care of my daughter, I really appreciate it. At the same time, she has new freedoms living in New York with me. Our relationships evolve with our experiences. Me in my forties would have surprised me in my twenties." #InTheWoods #TanaFrench / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Union Square)

I had learned early to assume something dark and lethal hidden at the heart of anything I loved. When I couldn't find it, I responded, bewildered and wary, in the only way I knew how: By planting it there myself.

When we went into work the next morning we were friends. It really was as simple as that: we planted seeds without thinking, and woke up to our own private beanstalk.

Ein Krimi, ideal für die Irlandferien, aber auch ohn touristischen Hintergrund geniessbar: #TanaFrench baut in #InTheWoods mit langen Verhören, starken Ermittlerfiguren und Lokalkolorith eine dichte Atmosphäre auf, bleibt am Ende das grosse Aha-Erlebnis aber schuldig. #clickomaniach
