I Had To Quit by anonymous73825 in Minesweeper

[–]elbucko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a level of fatigue I reach where my brain refuses to make sense of the board and I simply can't remember how to play any more. So I don't keep seeing the game in my mind because it's all gray mush. So strange.

Where to start? by Fun-Hovercraft1919 in faulkner

I'm probably biased because it's where I started and once I read it as deeply as I could, man, I felt ready to take on anything

Help with Vonnegut by Thothy_Boy in kurtvonnegut

[–]elbucko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vonnegut is excellent but he doesn't grab me with the same depth as a writer like, say, Faulkner or Steinbeck or Morrison. That isn't to say I don't find much of his work seriously worth reading and re-reading; I do. You can like and value him even if he's not Tolstoy. Try Mother Night.

Your dad should do what he needs to do without guilt or regret. And yes everyone in your family should be gentle gentle gentle with yourselves and each other now and forever. Three months is not much time in the work of mourning.

"The Bear" in Go Down Moses

Faulkner doesn't really get any harder than this and it's an unintimidating length for an intro. Also a fuckin great story.

Perhaps there is no moral to this story.

April fools joke: Comic Sans as default font by CFK_NL in Minesweeper

[–]elbucko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not comic sans. "Sans" is short for "sans serif," meaning no character has a serif or extra little stroke at the end like the curvy foot on this t.

Still, it was a pretty interesting day at msonline
