“You are my creator, but I am your master; – obey!” BARS!!!!! This quote goes so fucking hard and beautifully captures some Themes.

Anyway. Like most classics this is beautifully written but so goddamn looooooong. Someone needs to go in a time machine and force these bitches to break up their paragraphs oh my goooooood. And it might’ve been because I was so tired reading the last chapter, but that was such a slog! And SIX CHAPTERS OF MONSTER MONOLOGUING?? JESUS CHRIST HELLO???

Also. When were viktor and Henry going to kiss?? Viktor and Robert even?? Gay people are real and they’re in Europe?? You don’t speak about your friend like that and don’t desire them carnally. Just sayin.

A classic famous for the creation of the sci-fi genre. It uses strong religious imagery to paint a picture of humanity and what distinguishes humans from "daemons" and higher powers. Seamlessly blends science, philosophy, and creationism. Although the gruesome deeds and persons lack greater detail, the light description allows the imagination to fill in the horrific blanks.

feels it’s a little ridiculous to be like: this is Good. does anyone know? are people aware of this? this book about the creation of human life?… that pioneered Science Fiction as a genre?.. its commenting on the morality behind creation for creations sake. and the responsibility associated with bringing forth life against its will? .. but it IS! AH the pitfalls of man’s hubris to play god!

“You throw a torch into a pile of buildings, and when they are consumed you sit among the ruins, and lament the fall.”
