I’m rereading rwrb in preparation for the movie and I forgot how fucking obviously in love Alex is from the very beginning.
“His eyes lock on Alex’s, and something like annoyance or adrenaline spikes in Alex’s chest.”
Uh huh… totally… “annoyance”
“hate reading Henry’s Wikipedia page”
Because that’s definitely what you do when you hate someone

I’m listening to TSH’s audiobook. I’ve been wanting to reread it and figured the audiobook would be a new experience. Anyway, I want to scream into my pillow. How. Do. You. Get. On. This. Level. Of. Writing. This book had me rethink what you could do with language.
Another thing that is just even more dark to me upon reread is… Julian isn’t bad because he’s teaching his pupils wrong things. Many of the things Julian says are true! But the way in which he and the Greek class apply these things is so wrong and completely divorced from morality and love of your fellow human, concepts which Julian doesn’t care about.
Julian is right that a huge cause of depression and suffering is one’s struggle with one’s own identity. Julian is right that it’s good to know books intimately rather than to just consume and consume books superficially. Julian is right that the classics are significant and a worthy area of study. Julian is right that deep beauty is arresting. But then he leads the class to the conclusion that you should remove your sense of self, disregard opposing or unique viewpoints, and chase aesthetic at the expense of morals. Julian is interesting because he takes something rather true and respectable and gets you to fight for it in the emptiest of ways.

Corazón's introduction is so unhinged... the man stumbled into the air, got pranked, threw Law out the window and caught himself on fire in three pages.

When I read TSATS for the second time I really got into the book.
Like, when Nico was worried about Will being weak, I was literally like "fuck! I have to do something! What can i do?" Then I just remembered that I am only reading the book and am not inside it, and that I have already read the book before and I know everything
But I read it in Italy, so it probably had an effect (I don't know how!)

“The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end.”

Rereading, an operation contrary to the commercial and ideological habits of our society, which would have us "throw away" the story once it has been consumed ("devoured"), so that we can then move on to another story, buy another book, and which is tolerated only in certain marginal categories of readers (children, old people, and professors), rereading is here suggested at the outset, for it alone saves the text from repetition (those who fail to reread are obliged to read the same story everywhere), multiplies it in its variety and its plurality: rereading draws the text out of its internal chronology ("this happens before or after that") and recaptures a mythic time (without before or after); it contests the claim which would have us believe that the first reading is a primary, naïve, phenomenal reading which we will only, afterwards, have to "explicate," to intellectualize (as if there were a beginning of reading, as if everything were not already read: there is no first reading, even if the text is concerned to give us that illusion by several operations of suspense, artifices more spectacular than persuasive); rereading is no longer consumption, but play (that play which is the return of the different).
Roland Barthes, S/Z
