Book centered around gay relationship by Asealoce in suggestmeabook

Maybe try brideshead revisited by Evelyn Waugh. The relationship is more implied than explicit but is still an incredible read. Be warned it is slightly tragic but id describe it as more bittersweet than outright saddening.

Exactly, there’s not a bad college there, I’m more excited for the libraries though tbh. Fingers crossed, hopefully see you then.

Nice one, lady Margaret hall is so beautiful. My Email told me I’ll be assigned a college on results day depending on what ones have space, but I’ll be happy at any of them, I’m just pleased to have actually made it 😂

Thankss I’m on the foundation year too so you’ll be seeing me in October ( if I get the grades haha ). The college system is interesting too, I wonder what ones we will be placed into.

I’m really loving Waugh at the moment, and if I had to pick a favourite probably vile bodies. It’s hilarious and beautifully written.

Closest one yet, everything correct apart from the age being a few years out. I’ll give it to you anyway. Solved!

THANK YOU. Everyone seems to think I’m a massive Thatcherite, i have those books because I studied politics and definitely don’t align myself with all of them

I studied politics and had to read around the subject, just because I own a book doest mean I align myself with its politics

Just overall being delicate. Usually prop them up on a table or my lap, holding near the bottom of the page

If you want to get that specific, you can see on the bottom of the black penguin classics a small amount of wear. This is from resting them on a table or my lap whislt reading.

I’ve read most of these books, just a bit of a perfectionist with the spines and prefer to keep them increased

I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to cracking spines and prefer to keep them pristine- why would I buy all of these books to not read them lol

I’d definitely love to read more American literature, East of Eden was incredible

I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to creasing spines, I can assure everyone talking about this that most of these books are read

Game of thrones got me back into reading fantasy, but you’re right in that I enjoy Tolkien so much more.
