And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely?” Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. Far from failing to meet my absurd expectations, The Secret History blew them out of the water and is now happily ensconced on my favorites shelf. When my co-blogger Emma informed me that it was one of her favorite books ever, I decided to take the plunge. It’s one of those books that sounds so perfect for me that I’m afraid to read it for fear of it failing to meet the irrationally high expectations I have for it. According to my Kindle account, I purchased a copy more than five years ago somehow, I just never got around to reading it. The Secret History is one of those books that I’ve been meaning to read for ever.
