馃摎This year I couldn't read that many books because of the thesis, but I read some, aside from everything I recommended under the section On Reading, from my profile in case you want to check it out.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽A Little Life- Hanya Yanagihara: my controversial opinion is that it was meh. I was expecting to have a divisive opinion like almost all of the people who read it but I thought the conversations were a bit monotonous and because there's a behavioral pattern that goes for 800 pages, I sort of already knew what to expect. Like every time Jude feels a little bit of happiness I would go in my head like all right, what's the other traumatic event that follows?馃槖 It didn't need to be 800 pages long but I still enjoyed the plot.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽Blindness-Jos茅 Saramago: Jos茅 Saramago is such a good writer for chaos. Loved Death with Interruptions as well. I think these are two of my favorite books.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽Carmilla-Sheridan Le Fanu. Loved it. I'm biased because I love vampires, but still. Now I want to read Carmen Mar铆a Machado's edition I found out exists because someone commented it to me under their post.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽Cat Person-Kristen Roupenian.聽One of my favorite short stories.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽Heaven-Mieko Kawakami: the descriptions of bullying were pretty brutal but there's something about this book that made me go meh. Maybe it's because I thought it was so matter of fact that I didnt feel the prose was particularly moving.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽How To Win Friends And Influence People-Dale Carnegie. (My humiliation rituals are not for you to comment on).聽I've applied some of the advice and it works, who would've known?
路聽聽聽聽聽聽Soy Una Tonta por Quererte-Camila Sosa Villada.聽Read this collection of short stories after her book Bad Girls, which remains superior before my eyes, even though I enjoyed most of the stories.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽The Garden of Time-JG Ballard. Read this because I wanted to understand that MET Gala theme. Enjoyed it.
路聽聽聽聽聽聽The Yellow Wallpaper-Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Probably my favorite short story ever.
