I‘m all for the ‘I can‘t cope‘ theme. But this is exhausting

What we are calling the Anthropocene might be more accurately called the Capitaloscene- what we are really witnessing are the material conditions of the last five hundred years of capitalism.

This is terrible. Why on earth is it so popular? Was it written by a 19yro with not one day of adversity ? It ends with this book

I got to Chapter 19 before bailing on this one. I think that means that it wasn‘t unbearable. Reading any longer would have been forcing it. Just as terrible as It ends with us by Colleen Hoover

Exciting Times | Naoise Dolan

You could go manless entirely and I saw a great deal of elegance in that approach but enough people felt otherwise that I thought it best to have one. You had to pretend to feel sad if you‘d been single for too long. I hated doing that because there were other things I was actually sad about

Convenience Store Woman | Sayaka Murata

As a 35 year old unmarried woman with no children I felt a deep sense of connection with Keiko. Repelling against all of society‘s expectations of us. And not by choice. For me, no matter how hard I tried I could never find a partner. Now of course I am too old. It is too late for her and for me.

Convenience Store Woman | Sayaka Murata

She‘s far happier thinking her sister is normal, even if she has a lot of problems, than she is having an abnormal sister for whom everything is fine.

It is the start of another day, the time when the world wakes up and the cogs of society begin to move. I am one of those cogs, going round and round.

I read this just after I had a fight with my boyfriend about how I don‘t contribute to his household. The deal is, we don‘t live together but I go over there to eat dinner and spend the evenings together because that‘s the only chance we get. I was so upset when I went over there a few weeks ago and he said‘ I‘m having this for dinner - what are you having? I hadn‘t brought anything. Feeding someone says so much to me, it‘s ultimate love.

I really needed this book last year when I was being messed around by my ex who had melancholy depression and narcissistic personality disorder. Highly recommend if you keep meeting idiots like I do.

After hearing so much about this disorder and someone saying that they think I might have it, I decided to read this. It was really interesting. I‘d recommend it if you suspect you or someone you know suffers from BPD.

So many good ratings. It‘s me, not you.

QuoteQueen Eh I didn‘t like it either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
mija333 @QuoteQueen this is such a relief to hear that it‘s not just me. 4y
QuoteQueen @mija333 you are definitely not alone. Usually when I read a book, even one I didn‘t really like, I can‘t give it up/get rid of it. This one I want GONE. No part of my soul entered into it making it difficult to part with. However there were 2 lines in the book which did stick out to me, but not enough for me to like the book as a whole. 4y

Dad often came home with stories about the best and worst in human beings. We talked about why people did bad things. Life was understood as a series of choices, actions and consequences.
