#on my nightstand#currently reading#i totally fail to bring a black author to the mix#and i feel bad about it#it was mostly a non fiction month and i felt the absence of true literature strongly few times in the month#i wasn't really in the mood to read the tenant of wildfell hall while i was very hungry for more fictional stories#and while i didn't want to start a new book#the combination of the three contradictions was very frustrating#maggie nelson was a major disappointement: i can barely remember Bluets.#to be honest the french publisher made comparisons taht were completely out of place (with Pascal a major classic french philosopher)#the translation was uninspired and i have a very limited interest to read about romance sex and separation#but even so i can't shake the feeling that the writing was random#thankfully losing earth and mr Whicher made compulsive reading#i didn't want to stop reading them#two addictive books methodically constructed and very well documented which brought history under a new light
