also checking in w this again. i can’t imagine i’ll read bad brains by the year’s end because i’m a numb motherfucker and want to wait for a physical copy (will never be able to afford this). i know i’ll read demian, i definitely will not read house of leaves unless i really lock in during the holidays. foxfire i’ll definitely give a go i’ve been needing to read it for years and i have it in physical which is the only reason i think i’ll also not be able to get to portrait of an eye. only have it on the kindle. i’ve only read one book that way since may. i can’t bring myself to do it for some reason. maybe i’ll try for house of leaves it would look so fucking stupid to carry around at work that almost motivates me. who knows.

i thought these were all pretty great. cooper cannot lose. reading animal farm again for the first time in 9 years was sickening considering the totalitarian backsliding and evil in politics now. my favourite though was equus. i've never read anything like it in my life, and i read a fair lot of scripts. it was so visual and auditory in the most fucking gripping way, it had insanely symbolic and unique staging, the story is done so well and the allegory is so gutting. it was a 5 star for me, as was blood meridian, which was just insane when i got to the end and understood the whole thing ahnd. yeah.
