CASSANDRA AT THE WEDDING BY DOROTHY BAKER

this short novel revived my love of reading and though i haven’t read My Year of Rest and Relaxation, it seems to me if you want to be inside the head of someone insufferable but relatable (and queer!) you could always choose Cassandra’s. I also heard Neon / John Early won the rights to adapt it so….

JANE EYRE

Never thought I’d laugh out loud at a 19th century novel. Captures the strangeness of life amidst the mundanity like a painting.

Pet - catherine chidgey (2023)

I very pathetically and desperately read just about anything promised to appeal for "fans of Gillian Flynn". This is the 1 in 50 that delivers, and not as a rip off or homage, but its own specific dark jewel. Just a riveting and very awful (positive) novel. So rarely does something capture this part of childhood, the very primal and un-socialized us vs. them, me vs. you, jealousy and confused pre-maturity longing and disgust. Crazy!

no video on pi.fyi

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

necessary endings

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
