#whenever I find ppl who have read lots of books like I did they are all the popular books of the time that I decided to be contrary about#and they are like “yeah that book was good” and i'm just like “mhm yeah”#I think I am right about more recent ones but I feel like I'm wrong about ones that are practically classics now#example of the former: klara and the sun#example of the latter: donna tartt 💀 fully prepared to be wrong about that#im not as sure about some of those popular thicc books in recent years like the priory of the orange tree...reading that book was a chore#im willing to believe its actually a good book but I also read that when my standards for books were highly pedantic#because I didnt know how to think more deeply about what I was reading or appreciate the craft#that was me when I read tsh and the goldfinch too#sorry to whoever is reading my tags and feeling offended#loquacious#<-these tags are really that adjective
