What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver
4.0
i've never been able to finish a book of short stories before, but this was wonderful and beautiful.
there weren't as many quotes in this book for me to drop below that really made me think, because short stories make you think anyway as they're so bite-sized.
but here are a bunch of lines that i think would work well as phoebe bridgers song lyrics:
"there was this funny thing of anything could happen now that we realised everything had"
"i look at the word Love and then i underline it. then i see the word backyard. is it one word or two?"
"maxine said it was another tragedy in a long line of low-rent tragedies"
"he said, 'i just want to say one more thing.' but then he could not think what it could possibly be."
my favourite three were
"why don't you dance"
"tell the women we're going"
&
"the bath"
read those if you have time, i loved them
