look what came in the mail 🥺🥺🥺. very small october book haul due to the amount of time its taking me to read what i already have (mainly war and peace, which has been proven to be a very enjoyable but slow journey)

#i got too smug with my late acquisitions and all books i have to tackle are enormous. read les miserables & moby dick #im trying not to falter however and buy other books just to leave those unnatended because of intimidation #cant wait to read hesses the glass bead game however #i dont think ive said this before but steppenwolf was definitely one of my favorite reads ever. siddharta was fine in comparison i think #but steppenwolf really sold hesse for me. sorry #and yes i never read neither dracula NOR frankenstein which will be my spookyfest choices for this year #i was convinced by a friend on trying the waves although woolfs a room of ones own did nothing for me #but here we are giving second chances. very proud of myself #ANYWAYS besides war and peace im also reading the sea the sea (finally) and loving it #unfortunately did not pair them very well since they are both very long reads #BUT. it is what it is
