Tender is the Night

Part of me loves it and feels that it's comfy and part of me is fucking bored at points. I really hope it's going to bring home some profound point by the end because i'm past half way and it's basically well just about trust fund babies being shitty to each other. I'm moving on to Storm of Steel next hopefully it's more eventful.

The second Boogiepop ranobe. It's chuuni YA trash, I know, but the late 90s J-urban fantasy atmosphere is something that's dear to my heart both in text and in animus.

Not going to lie, it's starting to drag. Long book, hard to keep everything in your head.

Finished tonight. Is good, but I thought it was going to be more philosophical. Ended up being a biographical account, probably ghostwritten, sprinkled with his thoughts and ideas. Wanted to read philosophy that countered Ted K. 4/5.

The divine comedy.
It has highs and lows, maybe I'm too brainlet for it,but at some points it's fascinating and then just drops.

I ended up finding the endnotes more interesting. Dante put so much thought into every aspect of it.
Id like to reread a different translation one day.

Just started Ubik. I'm liking it. Reminds me a bit of The 5th Element, and I mean that in the best possible way

Context on this? Is this the really long ass one where he argues that human existence is meaningless and all that? If so, is it worth checking out? I usually like reading schizo-esque work like Kaczynski and all that

The Romantic Imperative: The Concept of Early German Romanticism

It's incredibly based and consolidating and connecting things that were just a vague mess in my head before.

I just re-read that. It's one of my favorites.

Currently reading The Brontes Went to Woolworths. It's pretty funny (a nice contrast compared to how depressing Wuthering Heights is) but it was rather confusing at the start.

The myth of the 20th century by Alfred Rosenberg

The Chad Aryan vs the Virgin Levantine: the book

The writing is less turgid than I feared, but I am extremely skeptical about theories and worldviews which seek to explain everything through their hobby horse, which is race in this book.
