I’ve been entirely made useless by the flu for a short while but I am back and now reading ‘The Apple in the Dark’ by Clare Lispector. I’ve heard much praise for her and am very excited.

Would you guys call me stupid if I said An Apple in the Dark was making my brain hurt a bit and I need a short break on another book…

I read Mary Shelley’s ‘Transformation’ because my mind is rotted by short form content and it was very charming and now I will be reading the largest tome I can find :)

i finished la divina commedia in the original italian, it probably actually hindered my fluency but was a lot of fun would not recommend onto smaller books :)
