this is one of the most pointless books i've ever read. 500 notes about a depresssed fag making up excuses for being such a fucking loser.
Sounds great! Thanks for the recommendation

I'm stuck. It's incredibly boring and the writing drags so much. There are some nice sentences but its in the middle of all the big munch of babbling.
I'm actually putting it aside for a week to reread one I liked.
What more did you think of him? The way he talks about his job?
Yeah this is one of the few times a "hidden classic" has ever let me down. It's not even the unrepentant sadness of the thing, I picked it up for that shit. It's just dull. There's nothing to say about it.

This desu familia.
Pessoa is a poet first and foremost.
There are some genuinely brilliant entries. But why would you read straight through it? It isn't a novel
If you're reading a translation then it's your own fault.

Yep, I love the book and I agree with this. What keeps me coming back is still his writing, also that it's a rare work that doesn't prey on my best interests as a reader. It's form is what I crave-- the banality and repetitions of being.
