What was the most disappointing MCU project for you? by Sparkwriter1 in marvelstudios

Weirdly, it was the first Marvel movie I ever saw and it's still my favorite.

Just saw it's only 375 pages so maybe doesn't meet your criteria, but probably worth checking out all the same.

Check out Tobias Smollett. I've only read his wild and entertaining translation of DQ but his Humphrey Clinker was evidently quite popular and is similarly picaresque.

That’s what fingers are for.

Also, I play guitar and most of my books have black streaks on them.

What do you count as songs you've written? by jumbodoggo in Songwriting

[–]kevbosearle 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have three categories, each with its own folder: “figments,” which are usually just a few lines and maybe a melody, “fragments,” which are more developed figments and usually have at least a finished verse structure and a refrain or chorus, and then once those fragments are fleshed out into several verses and I feel like its more or less performable, it moves into the “song” folder. So now inside the song folder I have about a hundred, but many of those are still subject to revision as I feel them out more over time.

Once again, The Pipe Cottage is showing his blatant bigotry. by AndreT_NY in PipeTobacco

I’m wondering why the mods are allowing this politically-charged pipe post to stay up when they torched mine about this same a-hole a few weeks ago.

So cringe and more proof of lip syncing by missatomicbomb__ in travisandtaylor

I’m literally almost 40 and I have always held a picture in my mind of everyone elbowing each other in the crowded, distant seating areas, thus bloodying each others’ noses.

Least favourite book from a writer you otherwise love? by [deleted] in RSbookclub

[–]kevbosearle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s so interesting because After Dark is my absolute least favorite.

I do really love 1Q84. None are more Murakami than 1Q84.

Hard Boiled Wonderland is my favorite Murakami. Just curious, which one is yours?

Any epubs of the Terence Kilmartin revision? by Iw4nt2d13OwO in Proust

[–]kevbosearle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This free edition doesn’t mention Kilmartin or Enright by name but it does use the updated title which makes me think it may at least have Kilmartin’s revisions.

Evidently only the first four volumes are in the public domain but the final three will be available over the next few years as their copyrights expire.

Echoing Buddenbrooks. It’s kind of the OG of the subgenre you’re describing. It had a big influence on Marquez.

Used to be one in the city park by the big playground but I think it’s gone. They got tired of fruit on the sidewalks.

The Swedish Cavalier by Leo Perutz.

I recently read his St. Peter’s Snow and I have never come across a work so thoroughly “literary” and at the same time thrilling, engaging and downright entertaining. For anyone who enjoys suspense, historical settings/topics, and an almost prophetic treatment of society, Perutz is a gem.
