A Lover's Discourse: Fragments by Roland Barthes

challenging reflective slow-paced

3.0

The most in depth analysis on love that you'll probably ever read from a philosophical and linguistic perspective. Roland Barthes provides fragments that analyze and describe what it means to be consumed by love. I read this work in between other stories, taking in the words a few essays at a time. It's a thought provoking read, with beautiful words sprinkled in between. I'm not big on philosophy as a genre, so I did find reading this to be slow at times which is why I had to take some breaks in between.
