"I could hardly get to sleep for dreaming of revenge" is the proper reaction to literally all of this. i got a letter" feels suspenseful to me.Ī rich white daddy's boy telling our protagonist that he's the one who's "freed" while this spoiled kid is trapped, and that he can be his valet, since he really wants to help.

It is very hard to come up with my goofy little entries for each day of this project when i think each chapter is very good and i keep finding myself taking it very seriously. The OTHER thing is that, on top of everything else, this also has some of the most gorgeous and visual descriptions i've read in recent memory. Kind of cool that there was very little that could ail you in old times that couldn't be cured by a glass of whiskey at a strip club. the dichotomy between how the intellectual student and the castout are treated by the millionaire.so fascinating. The way the theme of what white people want and expect and reward in Black people here is shown and not told is brilliant. clear from chapter one that it is going to be brutal and excellent. extremely cool nonsense behavior by me.Ĭlear from the prologue this would be a solid read for me. Love to own a book for 8 years without ever picking it up and then immediately find it compulsively readable from the very first page. If saying you want to read long classics counts as reading them, i'm the smartest girl in the world. It's another PROJECT LONG CLASSIC installment. another several-week period that shall be spent reading it, one chapter at a time, daily. another paragon of literature added to my currently reading. another impeccable pun combining the title of a seminal work with the month it currently is.
