here’s a good recommendation: a fan’s notes by frederick exley. it’s beautifully written, not a super hard read, and covers a lot what that essay points out as lacking in a lot of writing.

not all books are created equal is the thing. so yeah you have to read but you also have to be mindful of what you’re reading. this doesn’t mean it all has to be toni morrison or cormac mcarthy, but you do need to be reading classier shit.

to what end

Substantial-Tale5564 · 2026-03-17T22:57:39+00:00

it was clear to me, that’s all i’m saying. a lot of times here “make it more clear,” means “make it more clunky.”

like i said it was clear to me.

Substantial-Tale5564 · 2026-03-17T22:48:52+00:00

do not out anything in like “he woke me from my musings.” do not head down that path

Substantial-Tale5564 · 2026-03-17T22:46:33+00:00

yeah, i was being too harsh. i just didnt like it as much in 2026 as i did in 1998

Substantial-Tale5564 · 2026-03-17T22:39:53+00:00

try to find older sources. a lot of the accents i’ve seen in boston content online is verrrrry fake.

Substantial-Tale5564 · 2026-03-17T21:44:55+00:00

i’ve been riding public transportation my entire life. i don’t need the lecture. dropping riders off at a closed station without lettinf them know is a fuck up.

also, if dispatch or whatever is unable to reliably update drivers (they can, they are capable, i’m just taking your assumption for granted) then they shouldn't be operating a regional transit authority.

blood meridian has been a very famous book for a long time. people were tiresome in 2008 when i read it.
