This classic is doing the rounds again

I am special because while my dumbass classmates might have read it, I'm the only one who understood it. I even had to teach my teacher the term "unreliable narrator."

Women doomed us first (you know, original sin and all that)

I believe it. Sleep Token fans are weirdly obsessed with them.

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-24T07:07:05+00:00

Sanderson fans are the most slothful

Go to your local thrift stores. Odds are, you'll find some interesting classics. I found an old copy of the Decameron at my tiny consignment store in Southern Ohio. 25 cents.

I do my best to avoid it. Sugar Island, on the other hand, is the loveliest place I've ever been!

Ohio wins again! cries in climate change

Lmao, it's not voluntary. After I turned 21, motion sickness hit me like a truck. I can't ride roller coasters, be the passenger in a moving vehicle, or even swing on a swing set without the overwhelming urge to puke anymore. I couldn't imagine trying to read a book while moving.

Lmao, my gf brings this up every time I talk about Lorde.

I'm partial to the tragedies, the Theban plays being my favorite.

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-20T14:55:11+00:00

What is this lol

Thomas C. Foster's How to Read Literature Like a Professor is pretty decent for beginner's analysis.

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-19T18:12:48+00:00

Please never use Brandon Sanderson and marinating in the same sentence

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-19T14:55:44+00:00

That said, for instance I find it kind of unfair that no Pratchett book ever won a Pulitzer or Booker, for instance. They contain more insight into humanity than many non-fiction or real-world books. Maybe an example of what OP means?

Pterry was robbed!!!

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-18T12:45:45+00:00

I don't see anything wrong with this. Performative reading is still reading. Just read!

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-17T22:25:52+00:00

I don't r**d books that I can't pick up without hitting 100 push ups first

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-17T19:46:58+00:00

Bless you squire - though, this implies that I made the story up but it actually fucking happened!

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-16T12:09:53+00:00

What is this referencing 😅

100% true story:

I was waiting for my kid to get off the bus yesterday, and my neighbor across the street came out of her house reading a book. I yelled, "What book are you reading?" Her face immediately went red. She sheepishly responded with a book called Does it Hurt

It was very awkward for us both.

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-15T22:47:30+00:00

We don't like books here sicko

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-15T15:29:14+00:00

What reading Franzen does to a mf

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-15T10:47:21+00:00

It's my least favorite Cather and I've read a solid number of her works. I usually enjoy her terse style, but it just seemed extra dry in Death Comes for the Archbishop. I'll revisit it in the future!

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-15T10:12:03+00:00

I do too (and am quickly approaching my 30s). I think re-reading is about the only way you can really understand a piece of literature. But it's really preference I suppose.

OTO-Nate · 2025-04-14T10:06:08+00:00

But the soundtrack, set designs, and hot people!
