Neil josten:

I love reading The Secret History because you’ll get moments like

Richard: Maybe your smoking habit is why you feel like you can’t breathe

Francis: No that can’t possibly be it. I will also not go to the psychiatrist through

THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS MASTERPIECE????

I FEAR I AM NOW OBLIGATED TO DEDICATE MY LIFE TO THE PROMOTION OF THIS BOOK

there's something sooo special to me about writing that gives narrative weight and time to characters who are just brief flashes across the page, especially the ones that die. like how The Spear Cuts Through Water breaks its main narrative to give the people Keema and Jun cross paths with a voice, from the vendor to the messenger they kill to everyone else, just brief flashes of other lives that matter just as much. And how the Aeneid takes the time with the deaths in the final battles to say that this man was a hero, that this one loved his aged father, and so on. it's just the way that these books acknowledge that every single person has their own history and present, compared to so many books today that treat lives so carelessly

I’m dying at the implication that after Jun and Keema get their godlike powers and have the ability to launch themselves high enough into the air to clear anti siege walls, they still can’t stick the landing. People are watching them achieve these feats of godhood and they just keep landing like

Kaz: Prepare yourself Ketterdam, i am no longer a barrel rat, i´ve got merche blood running in my veins

Wylan lying on the hospital bed: IS THAT your way to thank me for giving you a kidney?!...and i don't think it works that way

when u pull up to the 'unreliable narrator' competition but nobody's there

turns out Richard Papen subtly implied it was now and u unquestioningly believed him but really he won hours ago
