I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

I have been making my way slowly, but surely, through the catalogs of Percival Everett and Roberto BolaΓ±o in recent months. If you haven't yet, check out "Erasure" by Everett" and "Nazi Literature in the Americas" by BolaΓ±o.

straight up only started gearing up on here because of books, but will say the ffxiv msq storyline is more fantastic than it has any right to be itself. savor it, wish i could go back and experience HW to EW as a brand new story just one more time.

some phenomenal writers over there!

so the cover on "even though i knew the end" is fantastic. If your design, NICE, if not DON'T LOSE THEIR CONTACT INFO!

New to book social media, liking it. Putting clips together from recent travels to practice some video editing. Read "Nazi Literature in the Americas" by Roberto BolaΓ±o
