── ᵎᵎ ✦ re-read ᯇ aug 243.5 ⭐️idk why but i enjoyed the story much more the second time around!! it's such a goofy story, and alice is SO RELATABLE (and so ahead of her time) for most of the book,, the entire thing is a bit nonsencial but you just gotta go with it because it’s oddly entertaining 😫🤞𓏲 . ˙ ˖ 🃏🪄🫖 ꒱ “if i had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. and contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be.”☆── ᵎᵎ...

If anyone ever tells you that you can’t write a book, keep in mind Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, is actually a pen name (As Lisa of Troy isn’t my real name, he already gets bonus points from me). His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Wikipedia describes him as “somewhat asymmetrical.” He walked rather stiffly and awkwardly, and he was deaf in one ear. He had a weak chest from a bout of whopping cough and a stammer.And yet…..He wrote Alice in Wo...

Another reread for me, and what a pleasure it was to reconnect with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass. Many years since I read this but it still raises a smile!

But it has been used to argue for pro drug consumption by hippies, for damnation by all of their political and ideological opponents, and as part of The myth of how authors find inspirationThe idea of how the mental state of a w...

I don't get it.. I just don't get it.I went into this story ready to fall in love! Ready to buy all of the merch upon finishing this story that's loved by so many but here I am, sulking. Disappointed. I guess this story just goes completely against my nature. There's no logical reason for anything that happens and that frustrated me beyond belief. Every conversation was so exhausting to read. I literally had to take ibuprofen every time I was finished reading for the night because my god, the he...

“Once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people.”If I ever had to choose to be another literary person than my beloved soulmate Don Quixote, it would have to be Alice in Wonderland. Why would I need to be another character than the one and only Don? Well, it is good to have a backup if you are asked to come to a masquerade as a favourite book charac...

I think that the failure not only of Children's Literature as a whole, but of our very concept of children and the child's mind is that we think it a crime to challenge and confront that mind.
