our aspirations are wrapped up in books

book blog by a teenage girl who does not just read "books written for girls" although obviously she does sometimes.

  1. i got this book out of the library today. i found out about it in an old nick hornby column in the believer and decided that i wanted to read it. largely because of its title. i haven’t started it so far so i have no idea how i’ll find it, but i imagine i’ll either get really into it or never get past page 5. this kind of book is really made or broken by the writing style and personality of the author for me. anyway, i hope it’s good and i get through it - looks like it’d be a good one to distract me from my impending doom (i get my a level results on thursday). i’m interested in this sort of history, i wish we’d studied stuff like this for history a level instead of obscure 17th century conflicts.
