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.

No, again

Australian accent but ok.

😴👎

Nope

Amazing! It‘s either this or Big Swiss for 2023

Nope.

‘You will be part of a great team‘ 🤢

You you must preserve in yourself, the virtues of freedom of sincerity sobriety and good nature

Adored this book.

On and on

This wasn‘t awful but still wasn‘t able to finish.

I had such high hopes for this. Bailed.

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

It started making sense at page 53 but by then I was too frustrated. Bail.

Kid protagonists are so boring!

Nope.

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

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

The perfect mix of compliance and violence.

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.

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.

… Pedro the mouse sat in his hole, his black eyes watching me through that time of dream and reverie.‘

I‘m only up to the first chapter but would bail if this wasn‘t part of book club.

Hahaha

We love, but then we take it back.

Sometimes it hurts, it really hurts.

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 couldn‘t finish it not because it wasn‘t good I‘m just not very interested in this topic. It is well written and informative though.

Poetry? I think. Not sure.

I never understood either.

This is probably another really good book but just not for me. #dnf

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.

Nope.

😞

🤷🏻‍♀️

It just didn‘t pull me in..

Yep - awesome.

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.

It didn‘t keep me interested.

This was so good but too long! I ended up skipping to the end at around Chapter 66 or so. I didn‘t feel that I needed to go back, I felt like I knew what had happened. #nofomo

This quote stood out to me because I feel like entitled new money people also have a very creamy vibe.
