This is my third reading of When Breath Becomes Air, if you want a synopsis:

Before I go

He wrote this article as he was dying ^^

Saidiya Hartman is a brilliant writer, though a bit dense - and Reading Capital is my second favorite Capital-based book.


:mjcry: You know my hormones can’t take this

“That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.”

I wasn’t satisfied with the Invisible Man, I’ll try to read it again.

:russ: I remember I tried to read this in middle school 6-7th grade and I didn’t know why the teacher was so surprised...she had no idea that for half the book , I thought the man was really invisible. I eventually figured it out in college

Lol, reading according to mood ain’t bad I used to do that. That shyt would have me all over the place tho. I think that’s why I just read different books on different days. :manny:
