Mine is cool!

pick from stack, instead of agonizing over the first page of 10 different books for an hour. Some have been in my possession for a decade as a result of that practice.

Love in the time of cholera was greatly enjoyed. Again, weird why i waited so long to read it after loving 100 years. Will definitely return to him.

Now, onto Dos Passos, frankly because i have turned over picking my next read to my girlfriend. I show her a stack of unread books i own, let her

This one hurts. She was SO funny!

Love in the time of Co okera is an absolute banger and i feel like a dumb dumb for sitting on it for so long. Savoring every last page.

Never came around on blood meridian. I liked it a bit better before the end, but that shiz is jot for me.

Love in the time of cholera IS. Shiz nabbed me in the first 10 pages i’m all sold out on this feller.

description is, its knocking me over the head repeatedly and the content is very dull to me.

I’ll push through it, hoping for something to spark up.

Now more than halfway through blood meridian and it feels like a damn slog, i am barely interested at all. The prose is curious, it’s my first mccarthy, but thus far i do not see anything that has brought this book so much attention. I am not invested in any of it. Idc how masterful the setting

Finished and enjoyed Mystic River. Thought it was a much better book than movie.

Remember feeling uninterested when i saw the movie in like 2003 or whenever it came out, rewatched it after finishing book, felt the same way. Portions were tight with suspense, but the sum came up short.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

4 months later she is thriving and med cost shrunk to $13 a month.

Holding out hope for you!

I’m holding out hope for you!

Amidst moving, my cat stopped eating for at least 10 days, was just skin stretched over bone, 15years old and already costing $75 a month in meds (plus the hundreds spent on bloodwork).

Took her to the vet for the last time and vet made a new med suggestion…

Hi there, can you recommend any other books about Fred Hampton? TIA

Alright i flipped on then back off again on Sabbath’s Theater. It felt like the wrong book, then made me laugh out loud a few times and I decided I liked it, but then it changed back, felt like wrong book at wrong time again. Not unhappy i read it, and i would like some more roth, i think.

This is what Republicans voted for?

I loved the Marriage Plot! Not like i loved Middlesex but this was quite good too!

appreciating its exceptional prose, I might not have read more Franzen after that.

Because of love for Freedom I’ve read all but Strong Motion, now. He is a treasure to me.

I intended to read the Corrections, unavailable at the library, got Freedom instead and I’m glad i did.

I loved Freedom. Like its on my Mt Rushmore, has to be, instant fave.

Then read Corrections and it turned me off a little, just kinda dark for me, gave me the blues. And I think, despite

Fast forward 20+ years and I finally read the Talisman… and I hate it.

But, i’ve sat on this copy of Black House, seriously, for more than 20 years. I HAVE to read it now right?!

Idk, maybe 2026 is finally the year.

Flipping through your 20 days here and we have many in common, Black House among them.

When I got a copy it was a brand new hardcover for like $3 because the bookstore was liquidating and I was a huge King fan.

Discovered it was a sequel to Talisman after purchase, shelve it to read Talisman first

Similar: 17yo has new bf, i have known her bf’s foster mom my entire life, “oh you know HER?” Like, yes child, i’ve known her twice as long as you’ve been alive, she used to cut my hair and a year ago i fixed her microwave. I KNOW her.
Kinda revealing how little they think you know. Nah, i know all

Rock n roll! Thank you Ms. Wilson!

also VERY MUCH looking forward to the day she is ready for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Its spooky-scary, features a tough but feminine no-nonsense broad IN CHARGE.

She doesn’t have enough experience to know but she likes spooky/scary, Matilda, and I like for her to see smart/strong/capable women/girls/ladies.

Recently saw her first Harry Potter movie (from the library, and fuck JKR) and I made sure to remind her repeatedly that Hermione was the most capable:)

I think in this mode pretty often:

Will this be a paragraph, a page, or a chapter in the Post 9/11 USA history course. Will the course be popular? Amongst who? When will they be engrossed reading about this period? Easy to see how disorienting it will be.

Young girl wearing a spa like face mask wearing a fuzzy pink robe splayed out on a couch intently reading Matilda by Roald Dahl.

Care to recommend one in particular? For this child who calls you “the girl who makes her own pancakes?”

Awesome, thank you!

i see you’re assuming a righteous nation won’t invade and hold the tribunals for us…

I have not yet given up that hope.

Do you have an opinion on Gore Vidal’s Julian? I assume we’re talking about the same dude…
