This is the most devastating book I've ever read. It is one of my favorites. It will make you appreciate the good times even more.

NYC, drama, hope and wistfulness in one majestically written Magnus opum. Whole life story of four friends and their entanglements. First book that actually shook me to tears and laughter. Cannnot recommend enough.
Those characters stayed with me for a very long time.

āThe People in the Treesā is incredible. If you like a good mystery and/or have even a passing interest in the field of anthropology, I highly recommend. Yanagihara invokes a creeping sense of dread from the outset, with its momentum only building and building. Incredible debut that was eclipsed (hehe) by the self-indulgent extended character study that is āA Little Lifeā

Every memory is as crisp and clear as the day it was made. The good ones which I daydream about, and the bad ones which make me nauseous. I donāt like the latter very much but my brain seems to; playing them like film on the back of my eyelids while I try to sleep.
I donāt know if I would recommend this actuallyā¦

William Reed wrote, āThe sky contains it all. It is the canvas on which the entire universe is written.ā
I look to the sky in times of adversity. The stars often remind me just how vast the universe is, and suddenly my afflictions become manageable. I am reminded of how beautiful the world is when I see the birds fly in formation overhead; when I see the sun set and the sun rise; when I look on at the moon and feel connected to everyone from all of time who have done just the same.
