August 2022 Reading Wrap-Up

i thought it was fine i thought that it had some mixed political messages i thought he was trying to be too politically intense with it and it didn't work

it's a very dynamic novel and i adored it please check out my review for more information but yeah ghost town not enough people are talking about this brilliant taiwanese novel

i found it very enlightening and it made me want to go back to berlin as soon as possible it made me feel so much empathy and sorrow on his behalf and i found it very moving but also very bleak

it's dark and bleak and strange surreal disgusting in places and so it really speaks to me and the things that i kind of grew up reading and still love to read now

i loved life from uncommon stars it was a perfect exploration of science fiction and fantasy it's queer it's quite tongue-in-cheek in places and it has beautiful wonderful trans representation which was very important to me

i think it's a fascinating exploration of the life that we live right now and the ways in which we tackle just how awful life is for so many of us

this is now one of my favorite books i would honestly put it somewhere in my top 10 15 books it is fantastic

i loved the first one and i liked this one almost as much not quite as much because it lacked the impact that the first one had

this one star is about what fame is like it's a tiny little more like a short story than even a novella about what it's like to be famous and how strange it is how surreal fame is and it looks at how famous people are often people and that means they're terrible sometimes and interesting a lot of the time

i really adored this i think that this is yukiya mishima at his peak where he's being a very overtly queer dramatic feminine kind of romantic gothic angsty teenager
