I can’t even fathom how this book made me feel.
It’s one of the books that after you finish you just stare at the ceiling and think wtf have I just read (in a good way of course)
Morality, loneliness, academia, and picturesque are the first words that come to mind when I think of this book
This book is absolutely amazing from the characters, the writing, the philosophy, the aesthetics, the romanticism.
This is definitely in my top 5 best books I’ve ever read
