actually night film’s worst crime is having it’s plot hinge on a director who’s filmography has become a huge underground cult classic kind of thing because of how fucked up it’s suppose to be but every description whether of film plot or of a specific scene is the most basic shit you’ve ever heard

i think if you want to write a book that’s over 400 pages i think you should be required to submit it to some kind of panel who decides if it is actually worth being that long

also what is this why did she write it like this??
i’m just shy of being halfway through the dictionary of lost words (which i would like to finish) and while i don’t think it’s bad, i can’t help but find myself kind of annoyed? frustrated? underwhelmed? with this book. like it has very clear themes about who’s lives and narratives (and words) get left out and seen as less important but it all just feels so hollow. i constantly am having this issue where the author is pointing out examples of this but not actually fostering an actual discussions on these topics instead putting more attention on writing out esme’s whole life. and maybe that wouldn’t bother me as much if that’s what the book pitched itself as but it doesn’t. for a book that wants to be about those disregarded by the ones making the dictionary it sure doesn’t spend any time on them
#red reads the dictionary of lost words#📖#listen i won’t pretend to be an expert on peoples understanding and perception of gender and sex in 1902#but you cannot expect me to believe this character has even the barest understanding of anything outside the binary concepts#what gets me the most isn’t that sounds incredibly anachronistic#it’s the fact the is *no* explanation for why the character does this#and then we move on like this didn’t just happen#and maybe i am jumping to the wrong conclusion and reasoning but because the book just moves on i don’t have any other choice

i love you books with cracked spines. i love you books with warped pages from getting rained on at the bus stop. i love you books with dogearred pages because something on the page was important. i love you books with highlighting, underlining, notes in the margins. i love you books held together with duct tape because they were taken on adventures. i love you books that have been read and read and read again and show it
i pity you books that sit untouched on a shelf. i pity you books that aren’t allowed to be opened fully for fear of losing their pristine condition. i pity you books that will never be read. i pity you books bought just to be bought and not to be read

the only thing worse than disliking a book and taking to goodreads to indulge the hater instinct only to find that you are apparently the only person in the world who dislikes it is disliking a book and taking to goodreads to indulge etc and finding other people who dislike it, except that every single one of those people dislikes it for wildly incorrect and bad reasons that have nothing to do with why you (most correct person ever) found it dislikeable
