An honest description of what it feels like to be a mess since childhood. I can relate
Fuck this. All of this trouble just to an Hollywoodian ending in which the two of them share the first “I love u”. Fuck this. So predictable and so sloppy. Meh
So nice and heart-warming, sensual without being sloppy. Too bad that side characters slowly disappear from the story
“Is it homophobic if I don't want this male nurse to lick the nipple of the giant female breast I have become?”
Altri Libertini is the first book by the Italian writer, Pier Vittorio Tondelli. It was …
Una delle migliori lingue che abbia mai letto in un libro, forse insieme a Arancia Meccanica che non a caso viene citato da Tondelli. Italiano, emiliano, latino, inglese tutto mischiato in un nuovo linguaggio densissimo.
A 17 anni stavo per mettermi a leggere questo libro; sono felice di averlo fatto solo ora perché tempo fai lo avrei rigettato come pornografia e turpiloquio alla prima pagina
Crash is a novel by English author J. G. Ballard, first published in 1973 with cover designed by Bill Botten. …
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of …
The TV show was about freedom and the willpower of people who want to gain back their loved ones at all costs, confined in a theocratic dystopia. I was expecting the same here.
Instead. The book does not talk about freedom in an oppressive society, it talks about seeking desires in a world where they are prevented. Offred wants sex, love, a child. She is haunted by memories of the time when she was independent, but she doesn't believe it is possible to escape from Gilead. Even Ofglen isn't able to make a dissident out of her, Offred just turns her back to politics innuendo once she is satisfied with staying with Nick. Even when she is arrested at the end, it is clear that it has nothing to do with politics and subversives.
I probably prefer the Offred shown in the series, committed to find her daughter and to …

I probably prefer the Offred shown in the series, committed to find her daughter and to save her more than to find pleasure, which still I find perfectly justifiable.
The historical notes are just genius, a self-analysis by the book, utterly consistent.
People complaining about the absence of quotation marks: fuck you.
Fresh off her adventures in the pages of Princeless, Raven is ready to set out …
This is bad. Art just in the average, story uninteresting and utterly not credible even in this non-historical mid-fantasy world, characters whose only personality trait is their sexuality.
I cant see why people here love it so much. Not true, I see it. Every line is a joke about men or patriarchy. I'm usually the one who's mocked for being too feminist, I'm so inclined to meme and stuff. But this is not funny, this is not subtle or sagacious, this is blatant and stupid. Also inclusion at every cost, even at the cost of consistency.
Why do I always waste my time with garbage once in three serious readings? Don't judge me, my friends, it is just a slip
