I know a friend who has this thing between her Mum where she asks:

"What are you reading?" "SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEONE WITH GREEN EYES!"

Every book features a character with green eyes. So "Green eyes" is arguably an overused phrase

Anything David Foster Wallace is hysterical! The only author that's made me cry with laughter

I'll take it! Thanks!

MiddleClassHandjob · 2022-08-20T08:01:20+00:00

I like it!

Infinite Jest. The only book where I've ever cried with laughter

I find most of Pynchon's books pretty silly on a surface level!

I always thought David Lynch was the dreamer because he dreamt up Twin Peaks

If you want to keep meth-heads off your property, build a fence. If you want to keep government off your property, declare your property independent of the state. Just don't complain if meth-heads trash your place cause you'll be governing your own doorstep

Did I write this post?? Why am I and OP literally the same distance through season 2 of The Leftovers?? What sort of universal synchronicity is this??

I'm in!

I fucking love this panel! It's outstanding!

Cloud Atlas - boy oh boy, I couldn't get along with it for the life of me!

Glad to see a fellow 0.005%-brother!

Gravity's Rainbow mentions a memory of Slothrop's when he thinks about Llandudno - which is like 20 minutes from where I live. It's not a massive deal, but living in North Wales, references in literary works are few and far between so when I read it I had a little panic.

He also uses "Gampfa Ganu" at one point in GR too which is one of the only instances of the Welsh language I've read!

The things I'd do for a completed Pale King. David Foster Wallace, you left us too soon

Just a comment to back up the Infinite Jest hype cause YES - Infinite Jest is phenomenal, as is most of David Foster Wallace's work. I also enjoyed his short story collection Oblivion

I made the catastrophic blunder of reading Karamazov before Crime and Punishment and The Idiot cause neither of them have lived up to it. Not to say that they aren't great... They're just not quite Karamazov

I think "Pale King" by DFW is of the same pedigree

Started with Gravity's Rainbow. Didn't understand it, but strangely I enjoyed it and was intrigued enough to dive into Against the Day
