i love anthologies. anthologies are so sexy
#in an alternate world where im an english lit major the norton anthology of english lit is my bible
#it's by no means an exhaustive overview but i really love how everything is in its neat timeline
#and you get a general vibe for how literature was back then as opposed to just going in blind. u see how everything influences everything
#a major (maybe a bit irrational?) fear i have is i come out of a book w superficial understanding
#and while that has contributed to unfortunate reading slumps i do also like this trait of me
#where i am actually focused on giving a book/period of time the respect it deserves vs just reading it flippantly
#i like doing my silly little pre-read of a period of time/author before jumping into it
#i don't do pre-reads for everything but there are books where i find it necessary to prime my brain for absorbing them
#and anthologies are good for that
#and they're also a good resource for investigating authors whose vibe sits right w u.
#or for knowing the general quaintessential authors of a certain genre of lit
#i also love poetry anthologies
#the commentary comparing/contrasting certain authors is also rly interesting to me . ok i'll shut up now
