    Macbeth as the ultimate self-help manifestation book is a seller for sure 🤣 Kurt Vonnegut is such a wild ride too. I still have no clue if I like him or I don't. Part of me thinks he's a literary genius. Part of me thinks it's like listening to your drunk uncle ramble on. I think at this point I'll die never knowing what I think of him, And I'm with you on not really enjoying reading smut in book and its the reason I always avoided the Scarlet Letter. For some reason the back of the book synopsis made it sound like it was band for explicit content and I wasn't down for that. Had a quick check and don't think it was banned for that at all so might have to finally get round to reading it.

    I really like diderot! (pronounced without the t at the end since the french language likes to be complicated) he wrote a lot of very varied things that are fascinating to discover. As for Molière I like him a lot less but it's mainly because as a french person I study him almost every year since middle school and to find him again almost every semester at university drives me crazy.

    That candle at the back next to the corkboard is giving me anxiety, and when you said controversial German Fellow I was expecting a completely different book 🤣 I always wonder what the male experience of reading a romance is. Like when you're reading Jane Eyre, is it an emotional experience or is just a cultural one?

    Little Women is one I absolutely adored as a little girls. Bittersweet retrospective nostalgia from reading books is not talked about. I get such pangs of sadness sometimes reading 19th century books. Probably not the industrial era English books that talk about the plight of toiling manual labour, but any time I pick up a classical English book about fields and bonnets and metal bathtubs and people getting excited over letters I want to timewarp into the novels era. But then someone dies of Cholera in the text and I reconsider. I think you did Chalamet dirty though 🤣He was always described as a small looking lad. "He turned to look at Paul-a stringy whipcord of a youth, not as desiccated as the Arrakeen natives, but with ribs there to count, and sunken in the flanks so that the ripple and gather of muscles could be followed under the skin"
