The Secret History by

"Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs."

“Alas, poor gentleman,
He look'd not like the ruins of his youth
But like the ruins of those ruins.” — JOHN FORD, The Broken Heart

I finished The Secret History. I am in tears. WTF.

Every single character in this book is completely unhinged and I love all of them!

I have no idea why I never read this before and even though this book is over 600 pages I don’t feel even slight bit exhausted reading it. The chemistry between all these people is just amazing!

@garykruse @bookstodon Mostly this week, He's easier to read in German than in translation. Amazingly poetic too, for a philosopher. Also carrying on with |s The Goldfinch, |s beautiful lovestory novella 'Der Zug war pünktlich '(The Train Was on Time) and |s autobiographical 'Den afrikanske Farm' (Out of Africa)..yes i jump between books, according to mood 😉

I really enjoyed Donna Tartt's The Little Friend. Not as good as Secret History but another great classic, from boy hanging from a tree, right to the end.
