“And how can we lose this maddening self, lose it entirely? Love? [...] the least of us know that love is a cruel and terrible master. One loses oneself for the sake of the other, but in doing so becomes enslaved and miserable to the most capricious of all the gods.”

so i just finished reading Babel by RF Kuang, and it was an inevitable 5-star from the very beginning. the same way it was also inevitable for me to cry over book IV and V.

The category is: dark academia.

I read the three quintessential books of this popular genre and enjoyed all three reading experiences I had. I most definitely love If We Were Villains, find Babel the most enlightening among them and love the writing in The Secret History the most.

— Babel, or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R.F. Kuang, If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio, The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Oh, Rebecca, you have all of my heart. Every explosive remark like this stirs all of my being and feels like a mic drop in the middle of a stadium, it feels akin to a gigantic splash against my fevered skin and it is so, so fucking satisfying.

My hero, is what you are, R.F. Kuang!

stopping myself from going thru the tags for babel by r.f. kuang because i don't want to accidentally spoil myself but i just want to know that everyone else who's read it bears the same kind of eagerness to devour page after page as me !!!!!

JK Rowling being a Holocaust denier wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but in hindsight it probably should have been.

At this point I don’t care how much Harry Potter means to you, I don’t care if it saved your life, if you think having some dumb fucking House scarf from a made up fantasy series is more important than calling out a white supremacist, transphobic, ableist hag then YOU are part of the problem and you are just as bad as she is.

i used to carry photocards around—now, that's like carrying a little child with you everywhere. but carrying a book around is like taking a world around with you, a fortress you can seek shelter on when the real world gives you time to pause.

life is so good when ur reading a book and taking it w u everywhere like your little child

“As I was running, I asked myself if I was really going, what the hell was I doing, but no matter how I thought it through I couldn't say for sure. I had the feeling that anything I chose to do would turn out wrong.”

one reason why i think the moment i start reading her books I'll be deranged

not enough people talk about how rf kuang immediately writes a book shitting on anything she decides is bad no matter her connection to it and how iconic it is. lived in the us? fuck you, here’s tpw. graduated oxford? babel. harper collins published her book?? here, publish this one thats directly a call out about you.

 i’ll go with you.

 you’ll be a hero. there need not be more than one devil.
