started: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by harper lee

finished: THE IVIES by alexa donne

gave 5 stars: THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS by micah nemerever (psychological dark academia masterpiece)

Book recs?

BOOKS THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK

mostly abt humanity/the human condition bc i have thing for psychoanalyzing shitty people/behaviors and romanticizing the process or questioning how it is that we call ourselves humanKIND

yes, there's also a lot of gay yearning and emotional pain involved in the first half of these. enjoy suffering.

frankenstein (mary shelley)

the secret history (donna tartt)

*these violent delights (micah nemerever)

the picture of dorian gray (oscar wilde)

animal farm (george orwell)

the little prince (antoine de saint-exupery)

*suffer the children (craig dilouie)

the hunger games (suzanne collins)

bonus: twelfth night (william shakespeare) bc it plays w gender and sexuality in such a comedic but also tragic way

asterisk = not crazily popular in the lit community (hope you haven't heard of it yet)

---

BOOKS THAT AT LEAT SOMEWHAT HURT TO READ

but for different reasons (i.e. stupid, lovable characters)

all for the game series (nora sakavic)

the song of achilles (madeline miller)

if we were villians (m. l. rio)

romeo & juliet (william shakespeare)

the goldfinch (donna tartt)

giovanni's room (james baldwin)

the kingkiller chronicles (patrick rothfuss)

vicious (v. e. schwab)

if you've alr read these books or like a diff genre, feel free to send me another ask and be more specific :)

the hardest thing about being an LGBT person in the chemical or life sciences is refraining from making a shitty joke every time terminology contains "trans" "cis" "hetero" or "homo"

Wilde and Hughes for the literary asks?

oscar wilde: what book have you read more than once?

only animal farm by george orwell, actually. other than that, i am afraid i will be disappointed the second time i read smth because it's not quite like i remembered or romanticized it to be.

langston hughes: if you could be part of a literary era, which one?

that's hard. either gothic or that weird crossover between modern and early contemporary lit (think de saint-exupéry, orwell, etc.).

Bram Stoker and Beatrix Potter

bram stoker: do you prefer suspenseful horror movies, gore, or jump scares?

suspense and jump scares make me feel alive™

beatrix potter: do you like reading inside or outside?

i wish i could enjoy books outside, but the wind or angle of the sun always bothers me, so i prefer to read indoors

[student-by-day]

ask me something, and i'll ask you smth back based on your profile ^^ i think a lot of us could use a little distraction from the fact that it's new year's eve (big yikes) already
