I'm gonna read a tumblr beloved book: The Secret History.
This better be good.
#at first i wanted to read It by King cause I'm in the mood#in English cause apparently the reason i find his writing not groundbreaking is that the french translations suck#but i saw 2k pages on my reader and i collapsed#ive finished a 1k pages books yesterday i need to breathe#in the end I downloaded the french version of the secret history#cause if this book is faithful to its reputation reading it in English is gonna be a pain in the ass#im not in the mood for opening Oxford dictionary every two words#i want mystery#anyway i also find It in french cause bad translation or not ain't no way im gonna read the full book in English i don't have the patience#so yeah#I've downloaded books cause it's an impulse need#like i bought books recently and now that i have them i don't have the urge to read them lmfao#don't feel guilty to 🏴‍☠️ famous books#cause i read like 3 ebooks a year#(even though i dl more cause im delusional)#but mostly cause my physical books expenses a year definitely make up for it#for exemple we went to cultura last weekend which wasn't part of my plan but yes i bought books#and next weekend there's one book fair so obviously i will be buying more books especially if one writer looks at me with puppy eyes lmao#anyway back to the topic#dark academia this dark academia that#i don't expect something groundbreaking cause ive been disappointed by all your tastes in the past#expect for soc#literally the only good tumblr books I've read lmao#but im curious about this one since it's like the classic of the dark academia genre#is dark academia really a full genre? it's more of a Pinterest aesthetic to me#anyway#misc
