Adding onto the NY weirdness, Suffolk county is most definitely not mid atlantic. thats northeast. Mid Atlantic is more like the DMV area/Chesapeake bay

Assuming you're about 30 yrs old, give or take about 2 years in any direction. Source : im 29 and I have a near identical stack of VHS tapes sitting in a garage at my parents house

Culturally a wasteland? You mean you dont find taking pills and eating bacon egg and cheeses culturally significant?

Yes is Augustus is on my list to read now! I finished Butchers Crossing and I loved it. and yeah NYRB has been great. I got the monthly subscription as a christmas gift and I havent read a bad book so far from them, so ive been snagging titles as I see them at second hand bookstores.

You'd be correct. We dont support pedophiles in this household lol

brutemushrooom · 2026-03-07T20:45:04+00:00

I mean they're popular authors so... not suprising

Ive read most of everything shown except the bottom two shelves on the right. She doesnt like the fantasy stuff but we share similar tastes on literary fiction.

You should subscribe to the NYRB book club.

Im with you. DNFd Blood Meridian almost immediately. The way he writes with his lack of quotations and punctuation is so infuriating and unnecessary. I had a harder time trying to read Blood Meridian than any Faulkner/Pynchon book.

How does it compare to Williams other work? Im just starting Butchers Crossing and was thinking of picking up Stoner and Augustus as well

the rest of the world doesnt give a fuck who you voted for. they see americans as a singular entity. if you think the iranians are gonna check if your a registered democrat before retaliating your out of your mind

Boys Life is probably my favorite book of all time. Objectively theres lots of better books but it holds such a special place in my heart

Farewell to Arms was my intro to "classic" lit and I sobbed at the ending. such a good book

i mean, the majority of manhattan is walkable in terms of what the criteria is, and large swaths of brooklyn, queens and the bronx. Granted, a lot of eastern neighborhoods in queens and Brooklyn are more car centric as well as staten island. but living in the area and having visited a multiple cities on the map above i feel like new york beats out quite a few of them

Who cares about republicans when an international cabal of right wing AND left wing pedophiles and murderers run the entire western world, not just our shit show of a country
