#finally read Frankenstein

[m-o-o-n-thatspellsblog]

Maybe the real Frankenstein's monster was the homosexuality we repressed along the way

Recent reads!

I read Gideon and Harrow back to back in September and October and they were so good! I know I'm so late to read these, but if you haven't read them yet, this is your sign. I'll be reading Nona the Ninth as soon as my local bookstore has the paperback in stock.

After that, I finally got around to reading Frankenstein. It's a really accessible classic, and I was surprised by how lonely the book felt. I was really struck by the way both the creature and Frankenstein's loneliness mirror each other.

Finally, I started Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. The Final Empire was my first Sanderson book, apart from the short novella he wrote for Magic the Gathering. It's an excellent high fantasy, but I'm sure this isn't an original thought, because it's over 15 years old.

This isn't a monthly wrap up, exactly, because I've been reading lots of 500+ page books, and they take a hot minute to finish.

Hope you're all reading some wonderful books!

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

I have literally spent my entire day reading 19th century fiction. Project Gutenburg is evil; it gives me too much to read.

#I finally finished Carmilla I'm halfway through Dracula and now I just downloaded The Vampyre and Frankenstein #Not to mention Varney the Vampire and The Jewel of Seven Stars #My eyes want to close but my brain is like no bitch read #The Shadow Speaks

[boxofcreampuffs]

OOHHHHH so th the book starts with a super long introduction about his parents and what a loving family he had his whole life

And then the science child was kicked out because he had the wrong eye color and left to fend for himself and yet they both caused the events in the second act that's some DANG good parallel arcs aaaaaaa

#i am LOSING it #im finally reading it instead of just operating on synopsis #can you tell #Frankenstein #rambling

finally cleaned out my bag for the semester, so bag tour it is. (i haven't picked up my textbooks yet, so i only have these and a couple other books in here so far.)

bonus, i couldn't get a decent photo of it, but my favorite perfume ever in the bottom right corner is coffee date by replica. (i also use athletic tape for my loose joints, hooray.)

#talking #bag tour #can i post this under studyblr #no... #i have like 4 other books in my bag at any given moment #they rotate #right now i'm finally getting a chance to read frankenstein... #i also have 10 million rings and necklaces i just didn't want to balance all of them on my poor singular notebook #atyd aesthetic #not atyd specifically #hmm

mmm yesterday i drew a connection between geralt (and witchers in general ) with frankenstein’s monster… cant stop thinking about now… the monsterous man-made creature, an abomination to all things natural and holy, misunderstood as a violent unfeeling monster, ostracised bc of that but really is a deeply thoughtful and compassionate man with complex emotions… yeah that. sure im not the first to make that comparison and im sure sapko likely wrote it like that with intention! i can’t wait to think about it alot more (also?? interestingly both were fundamentally mischaracterised through screen adaptations to be made into a grunting brick shit house, completely stripped of all the emotional and intellectual complexity that shape them as a person and character, i just find that really curious)

#rat rambles :3 #just some thoughts #the witcher books #geralt of rivia #maybe when i finally finish reading frankenstein i can elaborate more

excerpt from The Incredible Hulk by Peter David, based on the screenplay by Edward Norton and Zak Penn

#loving the continued Frankenstein references #I haven’t read Frankenstein so I can’t speak to Bruce’s understanding of the story here #but I’m very interested by the idea that Bruce specifically feels that he can’t die of pneumonia and that he deserves a violent end #because the punishment needs to fit the crime #like it’s not just that he doesn’t want to live on like this anymore but that he also deserves punishment #for the destruction that the Hulk has already caused #also that they’ve been referring to it as just ‘the object’ and now finally they say ‘the gun’ #that had a good dramatic effect #marvel #mcu #incredible hulk 2008 #bruce banner #my posts #books

Such interesting happenings between page turns (Patreon)

#Doodles #More page complaints to fill out Hell Boxes because I hate them and get impatient lol #And then a silly blushy vent pfft sometimes even I think I act ridiculously but I still do it anyway! #Natsuki energy lol #I wonder if the fic ones properly portray my excitement lol it was a very positive reaction #I saw a fic that just by description looked interesting and something I'd be curious enough to read #But then I saw that it was 60k+ words and that curiousity and interest got upgraded to an intense desire to engage #I have however limited myself to only reading after I've done some Other reading! Lots of reading lol #Since I haven't been able to read Animorphs in book form for a while because the library doesn't have more than a handful of copies - #I've been reading the online PDF versions which are good but they're not books y'feel #Well I finally had the galaxy-brained idea to ask what volumes were available and work my way through the digital copies until I hit one #So I had about four books to read through to catch up and I'm through two so far! And they've been really good btw!! #Tobias' book was so good ahhhhh my beautiful boy ;; He deserves the best and I'm so bittersweet happy for him #And then I'll get to both read a physical book and the fanfic that I'm interested in :D Win-win! #I also picked up Frankenstein for the lols since everyone's into Dracula right now haha #The long simple-scribbly set is me realizing some hubris I had set myself up for earlier /that day/ #I did literally lay on the floor and laugh #Sometimes it's all you can do #My life has some of the weirdest and most out of left field contrivances for someone who does not lead the most active day-to-day #''Haha like that would ever happen!'' *happens* '':0'' #And capping off with yet more pages - I'm so close to being done with my current notebook! So so so so soooo close!

i'm reading frankenstein this month (god willing, god so very willing) and i can't help but wonder about the parallels between it and tlt. the monster everyone fears and the bad man behind it

#tlt meta #summy reads #books #I signed up for AP lit in high school and I was supposed to read Frankenstein and then I didn't read Frankenstein and i quit AP literature #which made me angsty about my intelligence because iwas 17 but then i told lit senior year in college and it was fun #finally actually read the stories towards the end and they were good #anyway been meaning to read it without the pressure :)
