The Pillow Book by Sei Shōnagon
4.0

she is so girlboss!!! i wish i could be as witty as her! (but not the classism because that’s not nice :( )

very entertaining. i literally laughed out loud at the ending of the snow mountain story. i normally don’t read stuff like this but in mmw, our professor showed us some excerpts, like the list “Things That Make One’s Heart Beat Faster” and i thought they were cool. so i ended up reading it during chem lectures (oops).

i think it is funny how the royal court was out here worrying about fashion, aesthetics, and responding to poetry and letters in a timely, elegant matter while the commoners were just dying out there.
