posting this late who gaf geneuinely. the trial was my only 5 star this month although they were all really stunning pieces of craft, loved them all. the trial really makes you slow the fuck down and give it the time it needs to accumulate that crushing claustrophobic dread. took me nearly 3 months to read it and i'm glad it did. the impact of that book was immense.

“The basically tautological character of the spectacle flows from the simple fact that its means are simultaneously its ends. It is the sun which never sets over the empire of modern passivity. It covers the entire surface of the world and bathes endlessly in its own glory.”

— strange angels by kathe koja

[2189114reads]

It’s funny how adding saskia in and making it a trio thing completely neutralised Grant. I’m not scared of him anymore he’s just some fucking guy. He’s going crazy anyways Him letting Saskia drive the car when they ran away is the ultimate symbol of the fact he has no ground or power over either of them at least in that they have all been brought to the same equivalent level. The person driving the car has no power over the person in the backseat who has no power over the person he’s holding back there who of course has no power over the driver. Everything is bAlanced and beautiful. Grant you’re not frightening, you’re my friend now

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.
