Scout n atticus 🫶

I’ll probably reread again at some point in the future after looking more into the historical context of the book. from a solely narrative point of view (disregarding the racial themes) it’s a heartwarming tale — a slice of life book set in the rural fictional town of Maycomb, told through the innocuous lens of a very young Scout Finch.

I only read this briefly before going to sleep every night so I know I missed tons of thematic and symbolic details. But I can understand why it’s a classic—much to unpack here and would’ve loved this in my HS curriculum so that I could appreciate this book more.

would've enjoyed this much better if i had the technical foundation to understand all the physics/engineering going on. 2.5 stars because i'm dumb but can definitely see it being entertaining for the right person.

this had a lot of technical details going on that i quickly scanned over, but it was still much more accessible for me than the martian. although a lot of technical problem-solving goes on that i didn't really understand in-depth, its theme of friendship and the high stakes of saving the world overrides it to make it an enjoyable reading for any book-lover layman. team rocky!!

a collection of essays that details the turbulence and chaos of irby's life. light-hearted, at times very gross, but it's real and raw and a good book to wind down to before bed. i wanted something that wasn't too hard to follow and it served its purpose
