When I picked up this one, I wasn't expecting getting emotional and teary-eyed... And yet here we are. Only existencial horror to be found here, fellas. 
I'm glad I finally finished one more classic read, yay~!

obviously, a great story (minus the... incest? protagonist married his adoptive sister basically). but the writing/pacing was so goddamn slow at times. // update: i might be emotionally attached to adam lol.

I absolutely loved this story. There are so many things wrong with it, which is exactly the point and the prime reason I loved it so much. 

definitely reread material ✅
