This week I've been mainly reading, no. 217.

Sarah Perry's modern gothic novel Melmoth (2018) is a real treat; both a narrative of shame & a fictionalised dossier of accounts of Melmoth, a witness to the resurrection condemned to wander the world for eternity for denying what she saw (and finding those equally denying sin), it offers a modern take on the heroine explodes to a (here named) horror. The ending is a little weak, but by no means spoils a tour-de-force.

Yesterday I finished What It's Like in Words by Eliza Moss and I have no idea how to rate or review it, because I thought it was very well-written and it felt real, but it was one of the most un-fun and exhausting books I've ever read and I didn't enjoy it at all. I want to be fair to it but I don't know how to do that with my particular rating system. #books #bookstodon

Fahrenheit 451. By Ray Bradbury.

It’s the future, and your job is to burn books found in people’s homes, as they are illegal; you never questioned this because everyone is fine with this idea since books were replaced long ago with more entertaining visual media, but then something makes you want to read one of these books, and a different kind of flame is lit inside you.
