im trying to read 100 books in 2024, my hopes are appropriately set
the first bad man (fiction) - miranda july - started last year but finished most this year, i like her short story collection better
martyr (fiction) - kaveh akbar - how autobiographical is this its atleast partially. it made me cry hard but his poetry does that too so i knew that would happen
moby dick (fiction) - herman melville - pretty good
blue of noon (fiction) - georges bataille - erotic novella but not erotica
paul takes the form of a mortal girl (fiction) - andrea lawlor - the very last paragraph reminded me of the poem god's justice by anne carson when it really shouldnt have, something about buzzing something about peace in only a moment
bunny (fiction) - mona awad - i wanted it to be more gruesome
pastoralia (short stories and a novella) - george saunders - i cant imagine him writing a full novel in his style. a real challenge i bet
platform (fiction) - michel houellebecq - im tired of mostly pathetic protagonists
the elementary particles (fiction) - michel houellebecq - long jerk off motion
chevengur (fiction) - andrey platonov - i dont actually really believe in hope anymore
