A Lover's Discourse: Fragments by Roland Barthes
4.0
Last book of the year!!
I spent longer with this book than I normally do, finding that I best absorbed it when I could read a bit and set it down for a while, returning to it some days later. I think it’s best consumed in small bites (reminds me of when I tried to read the Bible front to back in middle school lol). This was my first go at philosophy and I could really feel my brain wooooorking. Of course, some sections stuck more than others, but the lover and sentimentalist in me thrived reading this.
