#the book was called The Bees by Laline Paull if you want to read it

[confusedcanaries]

I saw a review of a book that described it as "a book you read with your brain, not with your heart". Now, the following is an intentional misinterpretation of that quote which was trying to express an emotional disconnect with the book but...

Your heart cannot read, fool. It has no eyes to see, no feelings, no memories, no language. It must beat alone in its cage of flesh and bone, never slowing, never tiring, fending of the dark at the edge of existence without ever once being able to see the warm light of sun.

Your brain is where your store your soul. Emotions, memories, hopes, and fears writhing under a common roof. Searching for meaning in a world without. Seeing itself in any mirror it can fashion, faces in objects, emotions in organs, humanity in the void.

In this vague hallucination each of us experience and call reality. A shadow on a cave wall obscuring physics and chemistry and art, do not forget to mourn for the hearts sacrifice. Remember as it soullessly continues the beat of life in the dark warmth of your chest.

Also I really liked that book and you said a minor technicality of an error so you're actually wrong even though you made some very good points and I respect your viewpoint as it is basically correct but in this one instance of not liking a book you are being slightly silly so there.
