Book haul (+ one record) from Third Eye in Annapolis 👁️ I had so many zines in my hand but made it home with just these three.
I managed to put three other books back in the shelf too. Incredible self-control, I know. I wager those can be found at the library while these cannot, although the Rousseau was obv. for the gold foil cover I also want to read it again for class.
Do you want to know what madness feels like? Or maybe you already do, but seeing your experience reflected in a modern classic might make you feel less alone or give you a new perspective? The Bell Jar is a complex, vivid, and beautifully, painfully wrought masterpiece, at turns scathingly funny, uncomfortably ugly, blazingly honest, and unbearably real. If you‘ve worked hard, followed the rules, only to realize it‘s all phony, this is for you.
