âI went to bed that night in a kind of daze, slept as if I had been drugged and in the morning awoke to a new world- a world of excitement- a world in which everything was fierce and piercing, everything charged with strange emotions, clothed with extraordinary mysteries, and in which I myself seemed to exist only as an inner core of palpitating fire.â : This book is probably most famous nowadays for being AndrĂŠ Aicmanâs inspiration for âCall Me By Your Nameâ (specifically, thatâs where the character of Oliver gets his name). Iâm not entirely sure how I feel about this book. Itâs not a bad book by any stretch but I wish it was a little bit longer and Iâd got to spend more time in the story. The parts where Olivia ruminates on how new love has made her a more engaged student resonates with me (very dark academia). Overall, a solidly pleasant afternoon read (and I mean one afternoon because itâs only 100 pages long). : QOTD: What are some of your favorite reads under 200 pages? : #shortreads #Olivia #dorothybussy #dorothystrachey #queerclassics #academiaaesthetic #academia #darkacademia #classicliterature #literary #literarycommunity #bookstagram #lightacademia #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #đĽ #blackwritersofinstagram #teachergoth #weirdblackgirl #protectweirdblackgirlsatallcost #deadauthors #romanticacademia #arthoe #biblophile #futureenglishteacher #futurebestsellingauthor #bookinfluencer #andrĂŠaicman #callmebyyourname (at Rosehill Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUoODrleux/?igshid=1c3off01lrqxw
