But also, in a much more real important way, because I am the one saying it: I absolutely must.īecause I love this book so goddamn much.īUT HOW AM I POSSIBLY EXPECTED TO PUT THAT LOVE INTO WORDS. Technically speaking, I am in no way obligated to review this. It’s not fair that I have to review this book. This has a little less of the nonsensical whimsy of the first alice and a bit too much animal chatter even for my taste, but this exploration of dreaming and childhood and magic and nostalgia is so charming and dear to my heart.
but possibly my favorite poem ever comes at the end of this chapter. and they should always be written like this: "dinner-party." and they should contain altogether more nonsense. Queen of my heart alice!!! queen of all characters of all time alice!!! queen of being the best there ever was and it isn't close alice!!! but like, a good era of SNL.Īnd suddenly.an icon receives her crown. Wordplay city!!!! imagine how hard this would hit if 99% of these poems and riddles and songs and sh*t were still in pop culture. Is there any word better than contrariwise?Īlice is forever the one exception to my talking-animal rule (that they're boring and dumb and should be left out of everything). but then again i typed wrong as "swonr" on the first try so what do i know. feels like it should be the other way around. Mandela effect because "tweedledum and tweedledee" sounds so wrong. speaking of all stars.tomorrow we head to the dweebs. BUGS are the best we can do?!īut oh my god oh my god. Talking flowers would be a tough act to follow by any stretch, but goddamn. I love to think that if flowers could talk, they'd be pretty and mean and prone to puns. The thing about this book (and keep in mind i have said "the thing about " and followed up with about 97 different statements in the course of my life) is that there has never been a more curious, more interesting, more charming character than alice - and yet she is perfect believable. Join our book club to join the project!! follow on instagram here or join the discussion here. Usually as, well, a copout so i can call both of them my favorite book of all time.Īnyway! here we are for part two of a modified installment of Project Long Classics, in which elle and i tackle a long intimidating classic in small chunks for an entire month.īut because alice is not long to me, nor is it intimidating, and i consider both books to be like one thing, i'm reading both! welcome to that. I know that seems like a copout, but to be fair, i've always considered this book a continuation of the first one, rather than a separate entity. Welcome to.ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN SEPTEMBERLAND, PART 2!
