List: I Like My Anxiety Like I Like My Books…
Unputdownable
Makes you miss your subway stop
Causes you to weep in public venues
Topographically varied, but chronologically nonlinear
Treatment-resistant
Long
Part of a trilogy
Assigned to me in high school but I didn’t understand it
Assigned to me again in college and I understood it a little more but not really
Tedious when you try to explain it to someone else but inexplicably compelling to me
Impressively blurbed
Undermarketed
The outside cover is just a woman doing nothing with eyeliner on
Something you can’t share with your mother because it will make her sad
Dystopian but not in the way people always think it is, like more layered, a bit like Orwell, but different somehow
Actually just an Orwell knockoff
