book asks! 1 and/or 4 :]

oh hi!!! I forgot I reblogged that ahsjau

1: What's something you read recently and enjoyed?

Flowers for Algernon! It was the last fiction book I read and I really liked it. It's a 1960s sci-fi centring on an intellectually disabled man subjected to an experimental intelligence-enhancing surgery. It's fascinating how Keyes goes about writing a character who's capabilities to narrate his own story changes so drastically. Especially for the 60s, I think he approached the problems encountered by mentally disabled people with empathy, which is a key theme in the book. A gut-puncher, I'd say.

4: What are your top 3 comfort reads?

The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith is my ultimate comfort read. I notice something else that's silly or cool every time I read it, and I've read it like... 7 times? I do have a Goldsmith obsession tho. So this is biased.

Gullivers Travels, esp Book 4, is what I open when I'm euughhh but I want to read. Very funny, very cool, and I love Swift's style. Horse superiority.

A Clockwork Orange I've read a lot, too, for comfort. Its fascinating, short, and so dense in its strangeness and smartness that theres a lot to entertain and intrigue you every read. I think what makes a comfort book to me are the sorts that have a lot of little details to them, so they feel fresh every time and let you stretch your mind when you need it.

Hingpo (TCOTW) and Moses (TVOW) should be sworn enemies. Hingpo would beat him to death and I'd pay to watch.

this is a hate message btw just so you know just to be clear just to be transparent this is a declaration of malicious intent. and of what i don't know but i'll figure it out. read the iliad

this is a hate response btw just so you know just to be clear just to be transparent this is a declaration of malicious intent. and it's because you told me to read the iliad. go fuck yourself. read The Vicar of Wakefield (1766)

[fsawt]

hey this is an anon. read the iliad

no. read the vicar of wakefield.

2am time for TVOW

ik it's like my 7th reading but I got caught up on a detail in chapter 1 when I read it again impulsively the other day and I wanna see if its foreshadowing or a potential analytical point
