shitty indonesian govt has been exporting 1,928 long-tailed macaques to the US and China for biomedical purposes 😤 primate oomfs u might sign the petition link in the quote to help us stop this 😢😓

[lìth @votnce]

my next reads.

[Bren @b0bthereader]

RF kuang has a way w the most unlikeable characters that still make them readable without me wanting to burn the book

I do wish she had more fun w her other books the way she did here, instead of inserting math and logical paradoxes that r out of place at times

Recent arrivals. Two bricks added to my TBR stack to intimidate me because i don't want peace.

[Bren @b0bthereader]

NYRB just announced a newly translated Tsushima… how much more money will they take from me

[Bren @b0bthereader]

@Wildfyrewarning Is it good?!! I’ve been meaning to pick up Sister Deborah but everyone’s been saying Our Lady of the Nile is her best work

[Bren @b0bthereader]

@Wildfyrewarning Found Archipelago through them as well and they have been catastrophic for my wallet 💔💸😔

[Bren @b0bthereader]

Rupiah has gotten so weak I wanted to read something to help me understand how currencies work

This book is honestly pretty accessible (+ quite enjoyable) so far in explaining the different currencies and the histories that has shaped the current international finance market

[Bren @b0bthereader]

@litdotsalon Can’t wait for the 1000 page Infinite Jest vs Alchemised comparison video

[Bren @b0bthereader]

@03h52m Kak wkwkw itu keluar bawa Everyman dua biji, gk jebol kah tasnya ? 😭😭😭

[Bren @b0bthereader]

A short and ambitious book that explored language, societal change, human perception etc

Didn’t know the author used AI until I finished, and what a shame that it overshadowed the overall work. I don’t necessarily condone it and found it useless but I still enjoyed the book tbh

[Bren @b0bthereader]

@tomidispenser @iprimaa https://t.co/T0vaqSMua9 kalo ada waktu baca review ini deh kakkkk aku langsung reread lagi abis itu ngerasa miss banyak banget

[Bren @b0bthereader]

Still on chapter 2 and the cover is already creased af modern penguin classics pls hold AWN 💔💔💔

Should’ve invested in a stronger copy of Proust huh given how much I’ve been flipping these pages back and forth 😭😭😭

[Bren @b0bthereader]

Also nih buku berat banget, pernah jatoh ke muka gw pas ketiduran sakit banget anjirrr

[Bren @b0bthereader]

Reading a chapter of Tale of Genji everyday before bed has been such a great experience. But honestly not for Genji himself (bro is literally a manipulative groomer dayyUM) , but for the world around him that is so filled with poetry and longing

[Bren @b0bthereader]

For a man w/ such patriarchal values, I did not expect Balzac to write such interesting, well-written female POVs

Soo full of wit!! I laughed every time Louise justifies falling for an ugly man #paham

Definitely one of the more fun French classics

[Bren @b0bthereader]

@monemuze Me tooo, Everyman and Penguin always have such pretty covers for their Japanese classics 🥹

[Bren @b0bthereader]

My Women in Translation Month adventure 😼

Love reading books in tandem and Genji apparently heavily influenced Nijo’s life. Really want to look into Japanese court life through different centuries and perspectives, so this is gonna be so funnnnn
