1. Beloved - Toni Morrison
It was a terrible melodrama. I wanted to read a book by a woman of color to get a new perspective but the thing was not well written. She used too many writing cliches you see in other shitty contemporary novels that I don't like. It's hard for me to articulate why I didn't like it because I'm a bad critic but the feeling I got from reading it was not good.

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again.

I generally thought he had some interesting opinions, particularly about irony, cynicism and tv. And his descriptions actually made me give a shit about tennis. I like the use of footnotes to add extra information. It's funny how the 90s seem so dated. But the title essay just made him out to be an insufferable tool. I'm not sure I want to tackle IJ now.

Does W&P match the last 50 or so pages of Anna Karenina somewhere? That section was incredible, I didn't really get Tolstoy until I read and thought about it.

It was great. I came across so much insight, but the ending was something truly special.
