The Secret History by Donna Tart (Spoilers)
So I have had this book on my shelf for years, I honestly do not remember how or when I acquired it but it's been just sitting there collecting dust. I've recently discovered (very late) Booktube and this was on a few of the lists. I figured why not? I spent the first hundred or so pages kind of like...okay so this is a book about rich douchebags being douchey..what's so secret about that? That's when the IT hits the SHAN. Things had percolated so well that it kind of made me do a Shatner. So it went from zero to a bijillionity in like 50 pages and I was not sure I was ready for it! I honesty didn't know what to think. This book too me for a ride. I didn't like any of the characters at their core. Even Richard, our main man, had me shaking my head. Like bro, I know you are wanting to be considered part of the group but once you find out that part of that group has murdered someone in their own yard in the middle of some douchey rich bro's bacchanal ritual...
Glad to have you joining us again! Hope you can make the 24 hour one. Enjoy your books. Love the new blog, and that penguin gif is SO cute!
