  16. “Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

  33. Book 35: “The Secret History” by #DonnaTartt.

    I realize now that I have no idea what #DarkAcademia is as a genre (see my journey in this thread). This is supposedly the best example. Magic really isn’t part of it.

    This book isn’t for me. Outside of my mistaken expectations, the characters are assholes (a requirement!) and it went on way too long. The writing at the start made me take notice—Tartt can *write*—but I just didn’t care for her world and its people.
