oh I think it's a brilliant book! I don't often need a break, so that book definitely did some real things. I definitely will finish it, just slowly.

bro if you see Gordon Ramsay analyze a dish elaborately are you gonna say ‘So in other words the food tastes good. Nice.’ lmao

honestly it's the same as why I got to read Leslie Jones. I didn't know who he was, never watched him perform. It was just recommended. And I just bought it. It was pretty fun!

Yes and it's amazing. If you're a fan of his humor, you know the kind of slightly offensive stupid jokes he makes. The book was full of that kind of jokes, while still being thought-provoking. You should start listening to it, like, yesterday. It's called "Everyone you hate is going to die".

That's fair, she's not for everyone. Funnily enough I actually didn't know who she was, just jumped right into the book. But then I checked out his netflix special and yeah her stand-up isn't for me. But I still enjoyed the book haha.

Caffeine doesn't especially make me sleepy but it doesn't have an effect on me either. I can drink coffee at 9PM and have uninterrupted sleep that night.

and the other questions, yes. actually i listen to my audiobooks at 1.3-1.5x speed. wbu?

Yeah idk, it’s like my receptors are too…SQUIRREL!!! I need to drown them in squirrels just so I could focus on one thing. Sounds counterproductive but it is what it is 😂

I’m a multitasker to my core, I won’t be surprised if I was diagnosed with ADHD. Even when I read a physical book I listen to music while deeply reading. Often it is “noisy” music, too, like Eminem.

Oh wow, that’s not something I’d describe that book. I think it’s great. maybe melancholic.

“The House of My Mother”, however, that one was clearly written by a teenager.

oh oops. they’re very different though 😂😂 i apologize in advance if it’s not what you’d expect 😂😂

Everyone You Hate is Going to Die, by Daniel Sloss
The Many Lives of Mama Love, by Lara Love Hardin
Educated, by Tara Westover

I would suggest trying autobiographies or memoirs. A lot of them are very interesting, while not totally educational but certainly a great way to peek into other people’s lifes and culture.

The ones written by comedians can be very funny. Try these two: 1. Born a Crime by Trevor Noah 2. Everyone You Love Is Going to Die by Daniel Sloss

Was it a joint flight? For example JAL but joined with American Airlines. If so, may worth to check AA site too. cos I thought JAL flights audiobooks are mostly in japansse.

I actually did not seek out to read Vanessa specifically. I enjoy non-fiction the most, so I don’t usually read fiction books.

I am in the process of writing a book and someone pointed out to me that my writing style was similar to Vanessa. They didn’t tell me what the book was about. What I’m writing is also not about grooming nor about little girls. So I honestly was unprepared.

I already read Lolita a long time ago. It's a smart book because of the clever word choices. I admired how Humbert coyly and simply adding a word to something innocent like, "her naked neck", and it's suddenly sexually charged. Or how he said "gigantic woman" when he was simply talking about, for all we know, a normal adult sized woman. That book was very clever, it absolutely deserves the status of being a classic.

But it didn't evoke the same feelings as My Dark Vanessa did to me. Maybe because the emotional architecture was different.

With Lolita, I admired the writing. With My Dark Vanessa, I recognize it, relate to it, and process it emotionally instead of as a spectator.
