I just finished Equal Rites!! đ„ł and the cinder block that is The Count of Monte Cristo. While I do have books queued up to finish next (Red Side Story & Don Quixote are first), I find my 2024 book list running short... What should I add to it?
feel free to make yr case as to yr choice if u wish, or to state support for multiple! I am nothing if not suggestible...
#The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan/Declan Gunn is on my list too#but I don't have a copy of that yet so I've left it off#also on the list: Le Cidâ Les Fourberies de Scapinâ The Picture of Dorian Grayâ The Three Musketeers#NO-ONE suggest De Cape et de Crocs. why do u think I'm reading < all those for#yes these options are wild. can u tell I've struggled w finishing books since high school#I actually do have facing translations of the Song of Roland & of Beowulf if that sways anyone#Cyrano de Bergerac is also obviously on this list as I haven't read it cover to cover yet (I'm a fanatical extract & passage girlie)#but it's a play not a novel or epic. so I've left it out#poll#books#ceci je l'ai fait#vignettes de ma vie#Les MisĂ©rables#Mort#Picnic at Hanging Rock#the Kalevala#Beowulf#the Song of Roland#Skulduggery Pleasant#also u r allowed to reblog this if u wish to invoke propaganda idm#dw anon who told me abt Life. I'm still trying to source that for my watch list#also Edmond. which is apparently called Cyrano My Beloved in English. which is just awful lol

The Quatermass Experiment (BBC, 1953)
"One morning, two hours after dawn, the first manned rocket in the history of the world takes off from the Tarooma range, Australia. The three observers see on their scanning screens a quickly receding Earth. The rocket is guided from the ground by remote control as they rise through the ozone layer, the stratosphere, the ionosphere, beyond the air. They are to reach a height of 1,500 miles above the Earth and there learn...what is to be learnt.
For an experiment is an operation designed to discover some unknown truth. It is also a risk..."

Rain announced itself in soft pits on the window. I look up as if shyly addressed. I still have intimations of the planet's aliveness, occasionally, until my educated self steps in and in a moment quietly re-murders the world.
â Glen Duncan, from The Bloodstone Papers
#glen duncan#the bloodstone papers#literature#quote#thereâs a beautiful balance between the sacred and the profane in this novel btw#i recommend it to anyone who enjoys that sort of speculation / balance

Tell me again why I should like guys my own age? (I'm 21). And tell me again why I should stick with American guys? 4 are Scandinavian, 3 are Brits, and one is Canadian.

âEnough religion remained so that I went into and out of the belief that this was a punishment, superficially for carnal excess but really for living in a love that rendered God negligible, optional, obsolete. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Yahwehâs First Commandment and one he wasnât shy of fleshing outâThou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: For I the LORD thy God am a jealous God ⊠He had every right to be jealous of Arabella. It wasnât the fucking, the licking, the sucking, but that with her these acts livened the soul instead of deadening it, elevated being instead of degrading it. Lest ye become as gods yourselves. The serpentâs reading of the Edenic proscription was correct. We were our own divine images, not graven but flesh and blood, and God shrank in the light of our divinity. Christ was born of a virgin and died one himself. What did he know? The truths of the body were ours, not his. Human love didnât eradicate God, but it put Him into His proper distant second.â
- Glen Duncan, The Last Werewolf
