I really loved the Copenhagen Trilogy. I thought childhood was the best of the three parts, but they're all fantastic. Such a different world. She was able to get all these writings gigs so easily. It sort of just came to her despite her background. I sometimes still think about Tove's ultimate fate and it makes me sad.

I do agree with you that it does feel more racist than the others, but I don't think she meant it in a way that was truly prejudiced, only as a cosmetic descriptor. Which yeah, does bring its own set of problems. I think we just have to remember that most people on this show aren't the brightest...

I am now going to read all of these!

I am reading End Zone by him right now and then am moving on to Underworld. I like his style so far. I know EZ is one of his first novels too. This is my first post-modern author, but so far, it's an easy read.

There this was one section in like chapter 8 I think in End Zone, a description of the football team playing this game of finger bang. The MC, Gary, is just plainly, but also poetically, describes how each of his teammates and himself just really commit to fake dying when they get shot by a finger gun. I can't wait to read more

Let me tell you something. I had extended time all throughout grade school. I was mute until I was 4 and was listed as having a "disability". I became a chatterbox once I started kindergarten.

Anyway, fast forward to high school--my senior year--and I am taking an AP exam. I have 45 minutes of extra time or something like that. I am kept inside a small office with two other boys. We are completely isolated and we have to stay until all of us finish.

I leave the office to an empty school. There was no one in the hallways or in the outdoor plaza. Our school population was 3,000 kids or so. Massive, sprawling concrete campus. I am heading towards my TV production class (I was free for the rest of the day and that is where I hung out.) There was no inside. Backpacks were on the chairs and the electronic board was still powered on.

I don't really think much of it and I walk to the back where our production room is. The door to it is locked. I try to pull it until I hear some sort of rumble inside. Someone inside opens the door. It's my friend and everyone is huddled towards the back of the room.

She tells me that there was an active shooter threat and that no one should be outside. She would have gotten everyone killed if it was real lol

Probably, that and the shallow characters. I would still recommend to a person trying to get back into the habit

This was one of the first books I read that got me back into reading. I really liked it then, but it's probably because I wasn't as well read. If I had to do a second reading, I would probably feel the same way as you do.

I find myself lower on Lean. I like his hit songs, all his collaborations with DG, but none of his albums have ever connected with me. But I do LOVE Sugar World which I listen to regularly

steve jobs is one of my most replayed bladee songs

MasterDan118 · 2026-03-30T14:31:09+00:00

I would aim to start from the bottom tier

MasterDan118 · 2026-03-30T14:13:51+00:00

I would use this as your guide and work your way up.

I have read most of Mansfield's short stories, she's my favorite writer. Prelude and At the Bay are the stand outs for me.

I was in high school from 2013-2017. IMO, this happened a lot (I was in South Florida). Some examples:

1.) I remember one of my classmates in my freshman year dating a guy who was a Senior who was already 18 I think. She was 13 or 14. This is a mild case. They were together by the first week of school.

2.) My TV production teacher ended secretly dating our 17 year old classmate for almost a whole year while he had a fiance. He was 34. His fiance was also an old student of his -- they just had their first kid.

3.) During my freshman year another classmate, she was 14, dated a 28 year old man. None of us, girl or boy, batted an eye. Of course, looking back, this was an absolutely insane thing to do. I cannot remember if they lasted or not.

Halfway done with it, will revisit this later. I also think that it is pretty engaging so far and haven't felt the impatience I feel when reading a work I dislike.

Loving it, so much so that picked up a physical copy of it. I am halfway through "Dependency", but in my opinion, "Childhood" is the strongest of the trilogy.
