this is not even my first lispector (that was "the passion of the g.h." which my GOATED comparative lit professor gave us to read in my freshman year of uni) but it feels like it is, i still find her style so fresh and interesting

[lux @francischerries]

clarice lispector's prose is so enticing i started reading "hour of the star" out loud to myself as if it was poetry

what's a book that lives in the "i'll get to it eventually" pile that's been there for actual years now?

[lux @francischerries]

or maybe finally get to "sunburn" !! who knows

[lux @francischerries]

i would say i can't wait for exam season to end so i can go back to reading for pleasure but i know damn well that won't be happening anytime soon, being an english major and all 😭 i am excited for next year's assigned readings though

[lux @francischerries]

and also i hope i'll be able to squeeze in a summer read in august ! maybe finish calligarich's "last summer in the city" which i put on hold last year, since i'm a mood reader and the idea of reading a summer book in autumn sends a shiver down my spine
