“The People in the Trees” is incredible. If you like a good mystery and/or have even a passing interest in the field of anthropology, I highly recommend. Yanagihara invokes a creeping sense of dread from the outset, with its momentum only building and building. Incredible debut that was eclipsed (hehe) by the self-indulgent extended character study that is “A Little Life”

NYC, drama, hope and wistfulness in one majestically written Magnus opum. Whole life story of four friends and their entanglements. First book that actually shook me to tears and laughter. Cannnot recommend enough. Those characters stayed with me for a very long time.

This is the most devastating book I've ever read. It is one of my favorites. It will make you appreciate the good times even more.

If you've ever wanted to start reading theory (or simply read more of it) but feel overwhelmed with where to begin, check out this handy dandy Google drive chock full of readings and resources. And remember that autodidacts reign supreme!

my predictions and manifestations, based entirely on vibes. out: — American work ethic — learning French — situationships — low fat versions of foods — slur discourse in: — siesta — herbed yogurt — working hardest in the morning and leaving the evening for leisure — writing postcards to your long-distance friends, exclusively in cursive (if you weren’t taught to write in cursive, the time to learn will be now) — big boobs (cultural Catholicism will prevail again baby)
