Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
heavily eroticizes imperialism. quite thematically uninteresting for me
The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.25
my reviews lately have sucked i know but i am too tired to write good ones. this was splendid however
Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay
4.5
very weird that this isn't labeled as horror; i'd consider this gothic horror rather than 'mystery'. god, this was incredible! european efforts to dominate the bush and aboriginal people ie the rock, and the rock forcing them to confront their guilt and fear and realize that 'australia' is not comprised of their history and that their history is dwarfed by its own
The Visible Unseen by Andrea Chapela
Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.

what a disappointment. awful, navel-gazey prose from a rich woman complaining about her life using eighth grade level science and mind numbingly simple 'philosophy'. i skipped so many pages, but i read around half probably and it never got better
Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola
not very good, but quite fun despite its misogyny and sexual conservatism
