im glad that the song brutus by the buttress is so popular bcuz it tickles my specific obsession w the play julius caeser
#only mandatory reading in hs i deeply enjoyed#granted it was thru the lense of seeing brutus and cassius as og horrific toxic yaoi#bcuz all of it happened due to cassius's conspiring and feeding into the already boiling resentment of the senate#i still think abt the scene where brutus and cassius post murder but pre war with alexander#cannot agree and have to part ways#but not after a long confession of love and begging the other to change his ways#its kinda nuts#did cassius love brutus? or did he want caesar out of power?#and brutus was the best fit and easiest for him to manipulate?#i do think the off screen deaths of their wives was stupid as fuck#but its shakespeare so what did we expect#skeletal chatter#i need to reread it... i have a copy

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Hunger Games trilogy (and possible Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins)
#monthly reading lists#books#i'm hoping to read the first two before my ebook ban starts on wednesday#i've got a physical copy of the third book in warnemunde's trilogy on my shelf#it'll be a perfect lent read but i have to make sure i finish book 2 first#i've gone from 30% to 60% in the past day so i should be able to finish#(it got better once i pushed through the overly-detailed explanations of the political situation)#i've got to read benedict's second encyclical now that i've read the first#i should be able to fit it in before wednesday#i heard 'the secret garden' mentioned and it seems like an excellent time for a reread#(especially since rebekah's going to be posting about it)#the heir and the spare is a lenten must-read#i've been making myself wait for weeks now#(and after reading one of her books i always need a second so i've got the novellas on hand)#i *really* would like to be able to read the mount doom chapter on the feast of the annunciation#i doubt i'll be able to squeeze in a full-series reread before then#so i may just reread that chapter on the day#i heard 'the light princess' mentioned and felt it was the perfect time of year for a reread#and i'll finally read my illustrated copy!#considering rereading thg trilogy before the prequel arrives#i doubt it will happen#i'm not sure i'll finish the new book before the end of the month#depends how much of a chonker it is#there are other things on my shelf that *aren't* rereads that i may get to#but the rereads are what are sticking out to me right now#i'll wait and see what else appeals to me as the month goes on

Trying to recommend people Kiss of the Spider Woman but being like “ok so it’s a love story kind of like it’s about love but it’s debatably unrequited but also they fuck and they would never actually interact if they weren’t cell mates and even though adaptions of it kind of simplify their relationship to an enemies to friends to lovers type thing but it’s actually a secret third thing in the novel and play kind of like they don’t hate each other in the novel but they’re also like annoyed with each other sometimes before they grow to care about each other but also-“ is so difficult but also like it speaks to how Manuel Puig wrote one of the most beautiful and unique relationships in literary history and idk even just in fiction in general I’ve never seen a relationship like theirs before or since
#it’s 4 am idk what I’m talking about#kiss of the spider woman#I need to reread it#I also need to get my copy of the play back from my friend I lent it to them#I wish I could direct the play at my school but we don’t have the population for it and Molina is difficult to cast

The thing about finally rereading the first Sword of Truth book is that that I was COMPLETELY OBSESSED with this series when I was in high school. I originally found it when my mom flipped past an episode of the tv series and as soon as I saw that "adapted from" I was ON IT. Totally eclipsed the show lol. Fan art and poetry may have ensued.
However, I have not touched them in the 12+ years since high school, and every time I've seen the series independently come up online, the consensus seems to be that it's not great. I do remember its tendency to monologue repeatedly (and some questionable plot elements), so I thought, maybe they're right?
One work day into the audiobook (and probably at least 5 more to go, lord save me), I can't answer that, but I can say that it's taking itself very seriously and so far I absolutely cannot XD The number of things that are still ingrained in my brain that I'd forgotten about is astonishing.
#also Zed is my favorite. love an ornery old wizard with secrets#this thing is 34 hours long!!!#it's not even the biggest book in the original series!!!#honestly idk what I'll do if I want to continue#I absolutely don't have energy to read my print copies#but the library doesn't have digital audiobooks#I'm not going to shell out more money to buy them#do I need to buy a portable cd player again. is that what I've come to lol#ANYWAY. the reason I'm rereading this is to decide if I want to keep my copies#the sword of truth#wizards first rule#bec posts

Heading to the thrift store with a friend tomorrow and my corny ass is praying that I find another copy of the iliad in the classics section
#THE GREAT THING ABOUT CLASSICS IS THAT YOU CAN READ THE SAME STORY DIFFERENTLY DOZENS OF TIMES BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS#I just… I just really fucking love the iliad man…#I look at my copy and I sigh longingly because I just reread it but what if I read it again?#I say. having a shit ton of books I need to read#heart emoji

excuse the crudeness of my langauge but if i was melkor i simply wouldnt have acted like such a little bitch about it all but that is very much the point of his mythic archetype
#natascha.mp4#context to this thought: i just remembered all of what happened in silmarillion. im kind of obsessed with melkor.#never forget feanor yelling at him to get lost. top ten fantasy moments youtube compilation and its all silmarillion#I NEED TO REREAD. did you know i have two copies of it? yeah.

Going to do a Nevermoor series reread in June + July + August ? if anyone else also wants to do a reread around that time, could be fun to have more of the fandom prepping for Silverborn
Did initially make a roadmap plan to split the books up into weeks on top of already being months, so that people could focus on specific parts and discuss each week….. but between the fact that I messed it up the first time, Silverborn kept getting delayed as I planned it, and I’m actually really bad at keeping to stuff like that (looking at you, Silverborn Countdown Challenge…) I’m deciding to just go for it at whatever pace happens.
#will def be June/July but we’ll have to see if I get into August. may want to keep most of that + September as Silverborn Hype Months lol#nevermoor#silverborn#if you ever followed my rereads thoughts masterpost for my (reread?) eternal reread and wondered ‘why no hollowpox’? boy is it a doozy#beginning of the year Apple Books updated and I’m not huge on it!#and since I couldn't fix I decided I would try and delete and reinstall the app.....#…..forgetting that my books and notes are tied to the app and not saved otherwise…..#so I lost all my notes INCLUDING all my reactions and thoughts from my very first reread that I was excited to look back on and share 🥲😭😭😭#so I’ve just been in mourning and never continued out of my personal beef with the app….#so this time I think I’ll take use of all my different physical copies and read them physically to give myself a break from screens lol#this summer is just grindset time of getting back into drawing and trying to get good so this reread I also want to draw stuff alongside#like try to nail some character designs and such to make it easier for Silverborn lol#I fear I will need to figure out how to draw dragons……#anyways. if you’ve read all these tags you are now required to join in on the reread with me 🫵#this also reminds me I need to keep working / actually work on the nine spreadsheet / masterpost. will do that ✍️#I have had several drafts saved of posts I want to respond to with theories that I’ve been saving for my hollowpox reread that now I’m like#do I just save them for Silverborn?? lol

KLAUS BAUDELAIRE MY ABSOLUTE BELOVEDEST GUY
YES.
(my klaus baudelaire rant below the cut for anyone who missed it)
#you ask margin babbles#a series of unfortunate events#i read asoue for the first time when i was in fourth/fifth grade and. i think it was what awoke my latent love of tragedies#and klaus was ALWAYS my favorite. because we were and are still very similar in terms of. all the things#but here's. here's the thing.#there was another kid reading it at the same time. and at the time this kid and i were like. rivals. you know#(we've since moved past that and have become quite amicable. it helped that we went to different middle schools)#and HE checked out our school library's copy of The Penultimate Peril RIGHT when i was about to read it#days turned to weeks turned to months turned to years and. I STILL HAVEN'T READ THE LAST TWO BOOKS#so i'm going back to my grandpa's house in two weeks for Fourth of July and my siblings and i are going to finish the tv show#so i have TWO WEEKS to reread the entire series AND ACTUALLY FINISH IT THIS TIME#i have it all planned out. i have plenty of time i just need to read fast and put the entire series on hold from the library at once#(thankfully there's a branch of the library literally a two minute's walk from my house. that solves a LOT of problems)#and i read fast and the first few books especially aren't very long. actually none of them are very long. besides the point#it will be done and i WILL be insane about the books for the next two weeks. anyway that's all

Just finished the hymn to dionysius and I have to say, not really like any of her other books. But whoever said phaidros is inexplicably british - he is. I liked this book a lot, which probably doesn't convey the magnitude of feelings it's made me feel.
#Very vague very general spoiler-y observations up ahead#I just HAVE to say I thought the age gap would be larger. The summary made it seem like it would be larger#Other thing is this book feels so much more introspective and character-focused (especially on phaidros#but he is the mc) than her other books#I haven't reread any of her books in a while but I remember for example thlovk being more centered on the plot#Meanwhile the mars house and tbs felt more like an even split between the plot and the relationships and/or characters#Maybe this one feels so driven by the characters because it's in first person? I can't remember if any of her other books were first person#But when the summary said “a man needing a god to remind him how to be human” it wasn't kidding#I also only caught one instance where the copy editors missed something and it was just two words switched around#Also is it just me or is the paper oddly thick?#Anyway that's it for now. I want to see what other people think#the hymn to dionysus#natasha pulley#pulleyverse

i slipped and thought too hard about devil's minion. sorry. it will happen again.
#iwtv#devil's minion#i know i haven't been posting about anything else but you need to understand. i am UNWELL about them#I AM OBSESSED. i have reread the chapter maybe six times in the last few weeks.#i'm tempted to print it and try and do a bind of it so i have a physical copy separate from qotd#<- someone who is completely fine and normal about them.

think i’ve been underappreciative of william afton as a character i haven’t dedicated a lot of thought to how objectively cool his character is as a concept. i should change that
#this is brought on by those fnaf 2 movie leaks where he and vanessa are seemingly in their house#like he’s the big bad and yet also pretty intangible in my mind i need to think about him more#also my textposts have started getting fairly more notes lately so i’m just gonna say before anyone accuses me of something stupid#i am NOT saying i think willy was doin good or that i defend or ignore his actions#(marge simpson voice) i just think he’s neat#also i wanna draw him with a movie -influenced design#i just got a copy of the silver eyes novel and i’m rereading it for the first time since i was in seventh grade#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#fnaf movie#william afton#steve raglan#purple guy#<- do i even tag this as purple guy?? is that even the same guy anymore remember when he was vincent
