foucault’s pendulum is super sinister, super fun, and i found it incredibly moving!
name of the rose feels more complex in its medieval stuff but also rocks though, it's like "what if sherlock holmes was a medieval monk trying to solve and solve the oldest mystery in western philosophy and also a murder"

A book about a medieval hotspot that has lost its relevance in the 19th century and a man who is horribly depressed and sees the city as his emotions dictate it. What doesn’t sound amazing about this? Pretty much the quintessential Symbolist novel.

Informative but also crazy poetic book on medieval history recommended to me by my BFFS dad who is a medieval historian (thanks) my fav quote-“In Stormy Skies people still saw phantom armies passing by: Armies of the Dead, said the populace; armies of deceitful demons, declared the learned, much less inclined to deny these visions than to find for them a quasi orthodox interpretation.“ So Killer.

revenge, love, mystery
read it for the first time this year / it's long!
this book really leans into the story-within-a story: wherein a character will tell a many-page first person tale that provides insight, context, or fills in holes
loved reading the clothbound classics edition

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
