Heaven by Mieko Kawakami

“I knew that it was cruel to be so optimistic, but, in my solitude, I couldn't resist the urge and spent entire days
basking in idiotic fantasies, sometimes verging on prayer.”
its got a little kick to it

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
3.0
Classic. Good love story - some super sweet quotes here and there, but it took me SOOO long to finish!
It got really easy to read nearing the end, but the middle bit is why this book took me a month. Memorable? unique? worth being a classic? - sure!
Slow? uninspiring? A little dull? Also true

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
4.0
“There were times when the fact of impending death seemed as palpable as the bed they lag on, and they would cling together with a sort of despairing sensuality, like a damned soul grasping at his last morsel of pleasure when the clock is within five minutes of striking.”
Super good read - really liked Julia’s and Winstons story. Badass ending - I actually liked reading this and wasnt counting down the pages to the end, that is to say this didnt feel like a chore to read and I was actually really interested.

White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky

“I love him; but that will pass, it must pass, it cannot but pass; it’s already passing, I can sense it.”
“I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year.”
“As i sit here next to you, it is already painful to think of the future.”
So many great quotes!!! I wish i could put them all in this review
Such a tragic love story(love story??) in about 80 pages is so impressing.
So much about yearning and daydreaming and it just ripped my heart out.
hhhhhhh the big monologue abt his daydreaming and wasting away his life in daydreams was very emotional for me - i loved!!!
poor guy :( nastenka did him dirty

The Law Machine by Clare Dyer, Marcel Berlins
3.0
Outdated about the practical side of it but alot of the ideas and theories still apply!!
The way it talks through the criminal and civil processes is very insightful and clear, explains the basics of the legal system (take everything with a grain of salt tho cause alot of the organisations it mentions no longer exist so i had to double check everything)
solicitor and barrister fees r disgusting

The Darling by Anton Chekhov
4.0
“It was clear that she could not live a single year without some attachment.”
she is me and i am her
reallt connected with this one which is why i’m giving four stars but if i look at it objectively its only a two-three star worthy story. It was just nice to read about a girl who falls in love easily from her perspective, and how she suffers from it
