Whew. Work is boring but I just read Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo and dear god that was Boringer. That book seems to be a Revelation for everyone else and I just. Who was even speaking. Who was dead who was alive what the fuck this whole book felt like wading through a foggy swamp, mentally.

Also Wikipedia says the themes of this book include hope. I would’ve called it “nightmareish”

#I think I just hate magical realism #which is a disappointment bc I love real realism #but now I’m EXTREMELY hesitant about 100 years of solitude #I was gonna read that as my entry for Colombia but #(because Garcia Marquez apparently got super inspired from Pedro Páramo soooo)#I think I will not 🤪 I’ll maybe read it at a later stage in life #when I have the patience to deal with ghosts 😂💀#shut up Sam
