I know everyone else is saying this, but I can’t believe this term is actually ending. I enjoy reading a lot, I love it, but in recent years I’ve exclusively kept it to either fanfiction or Chinese/Korean novels, which are vastly different from the novels that we read for class. So, it was a bit […]

I feel like a total unc saying this, but wow, time flies by SO fast and even faster every year. Feels like our first lecture was a month ago, but I can’t believe the semester is already ending. Honestly, at first it felt lowkey overwhelming, and I was worried that I had a bunch of […]

It actually feels kind of unreal that this is the last post because I swear I was just complaining about having to read a book a week and now I’m lowkey sad it’s over. Like why did this class trick me into becoming someone who enjoys reading consistently. I didn’t expect that at all. What […]

Patterns. I made a list to see if I could notice some patterns in the themes that caught my attention the most from each book. Overall, as the title suggests, I think in most of the novels the main character(s) were misfits in some way, people who do not quite fit into the world around […]

It feels so weird to be done. This class helped me push up my yearly reading goal on Goodreads and now, I won’t have a constant recommendation on what to read anymore. No joke, this class made me think of joining a book club because reading the novels and discussing them in class was my […]

I think Love Me Tender is such an interestingly written piece that goes against the ideas of love, motherhood, and identity. The expectations placed on women are traditionally challenged by the choice of personal freedom over social approval, which, as a woman of this generation, I LOVE to see. I think one of the most […]

Going into this class, I’ll be honest, I was a little intimidated. When we started with Combray by Marcel Proust, I genuinely struggled. It was probably the most difficult thing I’ve had to read in a long time. The sentences felt endless, the pacing was slow, and I kept rereading the same parts trying to […]

I just finished Love Me Tender by Constance Debré, and I feel a bit conflicted about it in a way that actually made the experience more interesting. Going into it, I wasn’t expecting something this emotionally heavy. The story follows Constance after she loses custody of her son, and that situation kind of hangs over […]

Reading Love Me Tender by Constance Debré felt kind of like being dropped into someone’s brain mid-thought with no filter, no neat explanations, just raw emotion and sharp observations. It’s definitely not a traditional narrative, and that’s one of the first things I noticed. The writing is stripped down, almost blunt, and it moves in […]

I wanted to start by saying, I am not one who is particularly interested in literature/ i usually dont enjoy literature courses, but RMST 202 and the teaching team has changed my mind. I loved how i could freely state however I felt about the books I’ve read, without worrying abt it being correct in […]
