had to read it for a class project in 10th grade and it changed my entire taste in literature. it’s a nonlinear multidimensional journey through a prisoner of war’s life and mind affected by postwar trauma. super funny, super important.
I finished my third book for this year.
It was “The silent patient”.
When i tell you i screamed “ WHAT THE FUCK “ once i read the plot at the END!
i still have many unanswered questions because it felt incomplete but the manipulation was REAL !
1. helps me relax + clear my head + forget about work way more than going on my phone (plus i go on my phone secretly all day anyway so it's not even a treat to do it at lunch)
2. i've burned through a ton of books by reading just 15-30 minutes per day. i recommend this very much if you find it hard to "find time" to read
a man buys "one of those pale things drifting in alcohol plasma" in a jar from a sideshow. he and his neighbors look at it and wonder what's inside. weird, whimsical, sad. kind of a story about stories, belief, and coping with life.
