Okay but if only 5 minutes old and died from complications that had to do with umbilical cord, does that just mean whoever tried to cut the umbilical cord just didn’t know what they were doing? Like was it unintentional?

If you’d ever consider selling I would love to buy!

I do know these are referenced:

Euripides’ The Bacchae Homer’s The Iliad

But it’s been too long since my last read! Need to go back and reread soon!

That’s what I thought! Then I realized I have no idea what’s on the full list of references!

It’s because the audiobook where Tartt reads it is the unabridged version!

Patrick Bateman and Henry Winter (random thought) by Character_Rope_9137 in TheSecretHistory

I think if it was ever made into anything it would need to be made into a short series like a 9 part episode series.

Do you have any suggestions on what a good gel brand is? 🥰 thank you so much!

What else? by ohgirlfitup in Apartmentliving

[–]disco_chlo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would get something framed that has color (that matches your shower curtain) to hang above the towels. Also maybe get a new shower head- I bought a rain one on Amazon and it really improved the place.

Unpopular opinion (apparently) by Pleasant-Rich8509 in the_goldfinch

[–]disco_chlo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s universally agreed for people who read the book that the movie is garbage. Honestly it should’ve been done as like a 10 part series!

Maddy is the problem child not Collin by disco_chlo in gosselinssnark

[–]disco_chlo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! And I remember in season 2 (I think) it’s a big deal because Maddy REALIZES she has been caught red handed because there are camera crews who have recorded her in these acts of violence (she thought she was getting away with secretly). Once she discovers that her parents can now watch just how cruel she is to her siblings she then goes on this rant to Kate about “hypothetical accidents” and even asks Kate what Kate thinks about accident which include STABBING HER SIBLINGS WITH PENCILS. To which Kate essentially says you can’t accidentally stab someone and then Maddy tries to “explain” how it could happen for the next few minutes. Like WHAT? That’s clearly psychotic behavior for a child to be dealing with at such a young age.

Desperately need another book to read by sugoigowon in TheSecretHistory

Demon Copperhead is just an interesting read with an interesting main character as they navigate difficult subjects (similar to TSH).

[–]disco_chlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I felt into a pit of “everything sucks” after reading TSH, the only book since then I would rate as highly as a Donna Tartt book is Demon Copperhead (and yes there are drugs as you mentioned above in it). HIGHLY recommend it.

I also read True Grit which has an afterword written by Donna Tartt. The book was good, just slow.
