Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard
4.0
frantic and sometimes lowkey self indulgent and strange with its reasoning but very apt for our times
The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim
2.0
really fun to read gorgeous sumptuous descriptions hilarious characters very dull and insipid plot
American Paradise: The World of the Hudson River School by John K. Howat
actually very thought provoking. making me think really hard about the american landscape, the garden of eden, and also what that means in context of america being a settler colonial state. like really fascinating because all contemporary landscape painting in America is forcibly and forever in dialogue with the “first” “native” school of painting and the stealing of the land. really makes you think. like that it included one singular poc artist but that’s actually a super interesting thread i want to research. good jumping off point shoutout to jasper cropsey for gettig me here
