When you reach the point in math where you hate those dumb numbers but love those quirky little variables

#the variables cant hurt me in the same way numbers can

You know I hadn't read the great Gatsby in a while, and after reading Zelda Fitzgerald's Wikipedia page, I was ready for a lot of racism, but that racism in chapter one was honestly still a surprising slap to the face

[thedeitychildren]

Right. I will now be trying to read at least one chapter of the great Gatsby for each chapter of ulysses

#im also trying to check out a biograpjhy #i am not doing this halfway

[thedeitychildren]

I went ahead with my pride and prejudice ebook today and I am not putting it down now because HOLY FUCK ITS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD?

#elizabeth bennett and her family are all ready to insult the shit out of each other #especially the father. hes so fucking tired. its hilarious

Finished the first chapter of Ulysses. Stephen comes across as a little Literature degree twat. So no wonder he barely has a job

#stephen no why would you major in liberal arts~ #deity reads classics

Just read the Yellow Wallpaper and thinking about how the narrator doesn't identify herself as the woman in the wallpaper until after she has torn it all off, claiming that identity only after she has freed herself

#i hope that makes sense but dhfjakdnfbsjs read the story this morning and i gotta read it again now #the yellow wallpaper #deity reads classics

Going from reading Ulysses to just a page of Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier like omg I forgot language could make sense

"Hey google. Ulysses Sigmund Freud"

#and i was right #deity reads classics #my man stephen got freudian mommy issues

[thedeitychildren]

Hey Stephen. Stephen. Can you be normal about women for two seconds? No? You have to talk about how her breasts are small, she doesn't pay you enough attention, and her "unclean loins"? Alright bro glad to understand you'll be weird about this for the whole novel

#hes got so many issues guys. i need to hit him. its great #deity reads classics #still a more likeable protagonist than victor frankenstein

"The islanders speak frequently of the collectors of prepuces" why. Why phrase it that way. What do you even me. Just say men that fuck around. I'm assuming that's the meaning bc I looked it up but my God I don't even know anymore

#OH MY GOD ITS COMING? ITS REAL? #im so excited!!!!!

One of the more interesting things about this book seems to be that it'll just slip in and out of first person narration within a paragraph. It's interesting though hard to follow right now, I'm gonna try to notice a pattern for it

#honestly imagining doing that in a story lol. id get killed for it. i should do it #deity reads classics

[thedeitychildren]

Buck Mulligan is like "well why can't I make literary references about your mom's death and call you the mommy killer? You didn't pray for her so now you can't criticize me. Honestly, the nerve of you. And stop being emo!" Like wow what a character

I love looking up a word or phrase in this book and the first response being a page explaining this book. Like they know I'm not looking for gunrest and "epi oinopa ponton" for any other reason
