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 AndrĂ© 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 #đ„ #blackwritersofinstagram #teachergoth #weirdblackgirl #protectweirdblackgirlsatallcost #deadauthors #romanticacademia #arthoe #biblophile #futureenglishteacher #futurebestsellingauthor #bookinfluencer #andrĂ©aicman #callmebyyourname (at Rosehill Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUoODrleux/?igshid=1c3off01lrqxw
