Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
4.5
best ending to any agatha christie book hands down
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
4.75
i loved this novel as soon as i read it but for some reason the more i think about it the more i adore it. so many passages from this have stuck with me. the way the writing flows is just wonderful. highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get into modernist literature but is a bit scared of james joyce.

Discourse on Method and The Meditations by René Descartes
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
the Discourse on Methods was nice, but The Meditations were a bit rough.
my favourite part is when Descartes urges me to have a splayed open animal heart in front of me as I read so as to better understand the point he is trying to make
