I'm actually going to lose my mind right now. You have people on tiktok arguing on this post that retaining what you've read in a book isn't important, it's just about the vibes and the experience. And the window they gave is three books in one week.
I said, "If you aren't retaining what you read, then you likely didn't comprehend it in real time. Whether that was because you have poor comprehension skills, the writer is just shit at writing, or your writing style preference wasn't compatible with the writer's. Regardless, comprehension did not occur."
The responses:
"What does comprehension have to do with this?"
"It's important to you, but not to me."
"Oh, you remember every movie and show you've ever watched?"
(edit: I retract the "unreasonable" comment about three books a week. Y'all got it lmao.)

I honestly don't think anything will ever compare to the experience of reading Harrow the Ninth for the first time. I don't think there is a way to provide a more immersive, more emotional fictional journey for me

this is barely coherent but the topic of the massive hole that Feanor leaves in the story (and the way his sons are chained to a ghost and for the rest of time defined as extensions of their father in one way or another) has got me thinking about Feanor and Thingol because there is something sooooo crunchy in how their shaping/trying to shape their children's lives mirror each other. the difference lies mostly in the reaction, Lúthien escapes because the leithian is about breaking free of bondage (sidenote, i really love how Beren's oath to Thingol sounds so incredibly similar to the oath of Feanor). She and Feanor's sons are foils largely in the way they respond to the will of their fathers! And their endings in relation to their fathers are so clearly opposite, with her going beyond the boundaries of the world where Thingol will never reach her and them damning themselves to the exact same fate as Feanor.

The line "The stars will go out before I forget you" goes off so hard. So romantic, I would literally ascend to the 4th dimension if someone ever said it to me.
