My boyfriend - who's not a reader - bought it for himself but he haven't read it yet (Of course, because this shit is intense)
But, that said: is fucking great lol
Love me some essays and personal opinions well written, so this was right on my lane.
I must say I havenโt realized itโs also a GREAT READ for times like now: religious tolerance is something weโre fucking lacking as of now.
So yeah, very short and tedious but a great read overall!!!

dont really know the vibe of recommending one of the most famous books ever but! i do know how to make a case for this recommendation.
despite being seminal and well known and influential i doubt many people have taken on the 750 page endeavour that is the second sex by simone de beauvoir. luckily, i have familiarity with long paged and long prosed odysseys and can say with (little, but mighty) experience that when you a read challenging literary text it eventually becomes- not challenging! and when you read a very long challenging literary text u might be a couple hudnred pages deep and only then start to get it. it's gratifying in that way. because u have spent time agonosing but you eventually learn that slow prose forces you to stop and think and process. so yes, feminism. many of us are accquainted with it but this is a medium which will make you meditate on it. truly, an elucidatory experience. even with 70 years and a bit of water between us i feel me and mrs de beavouir are tapping into the same wavelength. cus another thing abt these older books is they were really thinking! she was writing to the heart of life! and now no body write anything subsustantial about anything! so, study this study of the second sex- take a month or two. sit with it, read alognside it. muse and let the prose take u in - i truly implore u to.

I am only at page 750 of this huge book so bear with me.
This book gets a lot of criticism mainly because a lot of its fans tend to be annoying about it, but if you're willing to read something longer you should check this out.
The writing isn't too difficult, but there's just so many intimate stories in here and it seems like the most relevant/prophetic book to our times (not as 21st century but as in actually now). It's amazing and already one of the best things I've ever read

Love is not an exchange, love is an art!!!!!
The Art of Loving gives insaaanee insight into how we undervalue love & how we [incorrectly] navigate relationships.
Lots of hard pills to swallow w/ Frommโs theories but I find myself agreeing with most :o
one of my fav works ever ๐๐๐๐๐

Today is the release of my new EP, and being an independent musician is HARD AF.
So Iโm feeling down, because I know this project, the one I poured my heart and soul into, will not reach all the places and people I would want.
So here it is, my GARAGE SALE. Hope you like it โค๏ธ
