noncedo-culli

I listened to an audiobook where the narrator pronounced "ye" as in the abbreviation for "the" as yee. So many times.

I don't get reading books to look smart. Three times now at lunch I've had random girls I didn't know come up to me and ask what I'm reading, and every time it's been so embarassing when I have to reveal that it's V's Dictionnaire Philosophique or Foucault or whatever instead of something normal people read at lunch. The last time, I just said it was something for class 😬

Les Mis. I'm almost always in the middle of reading it, and I probably technically have reread all of it multiple times, but I skip around to whatever chapter I feel like reading lol (and yes sometimes that is the sewer bit).

I don't think it's weird or unhealthy at all; people need things to make them feel better and let them escape for a bit, and books are much better than some of the alternative things that can do that.

Personally, my comfort books are The Tempest and Letters on England, which are sort of weird picks, but I read The Tempest in my 10th grade English class which is one of the few light moments I remember from high school (so far), and it's just a lot 'softer' than the other books we read that I liked. Letters on England I like because there's plot, but it feels like a discussion with the reader, only like when someone is talking about something random to distract you from whatever sad thing is happening, and also because Voltaire's writing style just feels so familiar.

That's so cool that you were able to read it in the original!

I might have to read it just based off that description!

I read it spitefully because hate is the fuel that keeps me alive
