Red books for Friday! :)

I’m missing my copy of the Handmaid’s Tale from this photo shoot. I was using it to write a paper for class, but otherwise these are most of the red books I own.

This is the unedited chase scene from Confessions of an Opium Eater. The sound was left as it is in the movie. I wanted to include the whole opium den scene that leads up to this, but it really is a long sequence.

i just wanted to let you know that i think about spit us out reborn at least once a day and it never fails to make me stop and ponder the relationships in my life

something about the tapestry of a life and all the people that are woven into it... ❤️

But my way of writing is rather to think aloud.

November Wrap Up

I’m not sure how November is already over, but I’m thankful. The quicker I get to my winter break the better. 

Books Read: 6

This was kind of a rough reading month despite me finishing six books. I DNFed two books and only two out of the ones I finished were actually enjoyable. My favorite was by far The Woodlanders, which was a leftover from Victober. My least favorite was The Missionary. 

The Woodlanders by Thomas Hardy - 4.5 stars

On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose, 1966-1978 by Adrienne Rich - 4 stars

Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas De Quincey - 2.5 stars

New Women, New Novels: Feminism and Early Modernism by Ann L. Ardis - 3 stars

The Missionary: An Indian Tale by Sydney Owenson Morgan - 2 stars

The Daughters of Danaus by Mona Caird - 2.5 stars

On Tumblr:

Well, there’s not much here. Which I guess means I was kind of doing my work, otherwise there would be more lists haha.

My favourites!

La Révolution française, Albert Soboul, 1984

Introduction à la lecture de Hegel, Alexandre Kojève, 1947 | And now I have to actually read Hegel, can’t wait for the brain melt!

My 2023 TBR (5/12) 

These are all classics I have yet to read (other than Wuthering Heights- this is one of my new copies). I included this copy of Wuthering Heights because I want to reread it next year since I might be doing my master’s thesis on it.
