finished reading this like 2 weeks ago, PI.BKCLB read it a few months ago but i was waiting to get my hands on a physical copy. very worth the wait! a challenging read, some of it def went over my head but has such interesting things to say about creation, mortality and god.

I know I am technically late to this book but I just finished it and it has fundamentally changed me forever. Maybe its because I am an academic, or because I often introduce myself as the speaker of 2 and a half languages but it hit hard. It is vivid and spectacular and grief inducing and devastating. It has so much heart, so much love, yet so much despair. The attention to detail regarding history and conflicting philosophies, politics, religious beliefs and belief systems is so carefully and precisely constructed, it is in and of itself poetry. It's so vivid that I can taste it, I can feel the texture of the pages, different passages are rattling around my brain and I can remember where I read them, I am a different person from before I read this book. After the reading slump I was in, it feels like all along I was waiting to find this book, I didn't know I was missing it, or waiting for it and yet when I read it it is like all at once I suddenly knew that I had needed this book all along. Read it, if you are one of those people that gets skeptical of things that reach a certain level of popularity, just know that all the hype in the world has undersold this book. It is that good. And yes, I attached a low light photo of my copy because I have reread chapters of this so often that the pages are curling, fished it out of my backpack when I found random spots to sit or stand idly, accidentally smudged it when I immediately reached for it after writing sprawling pages in my notebooks. You see how my earphones aren't connected to anything because all I am thinking about is this book? Yeah exactly! This is a good fucking book I am so serious you guys if you have held off on reading it, bump it up your list.

I honestly think it’s time to say “fuck Instagram” and move on. Instead of trying to change a platform that’s built on control and endless mind-numbing content, why not migrate to spaces that truly support your needs and help you form real connections?
For me, it’s not about staying and “fighting back” in an environment that just isn’t working—it’s about choosing a community that aligns with my values and where i can genuinely grow.
I deleted my instagram account a few months ago and it feels incredible.
I think we all deserve better.
