Time Must Have a Stop by Aldous Huxley

4.0

this was a super interesting read - it took me forever to finish because i kept leaving it to stew and then coming back to it. at the beginning i wavered back and forth between being committed to really liking it, it seemed more like fitzgerald (think ‘this side of paradise’) than the huxley i’d read previously, by a third of the way through i was completely hooked and invested in sebastian and eustace, the hilarity of their different flaws and their uncle/nephew dynamic. the epilogue was very interesting, huge parts of it were too abstract and philosophical for me and went straight over my head and other parts felt perfect for the ending of the book.
definitely one i’ll reread and something i would absolutely recommend to anyone with an interest in huxley. completely different to ‘brave new world’ but with all of the political commentary and a lot of the philosophy that winds through ‘the doors of perception’.
