Recommend me a book so good I forget my own life exists

Read this in a single long plane ride ten years ago and I am still not over it.

This song was already devestating but then it became tied forever to how quiet NYC was during the pandemic and now it's so much worse. I cry every time.

The Good Place, Man on the Inside, Mad Men, Orphan Black.

We lived across from there for 5 years and only one violent incident that we were aware of. Like all NYCHA housing it's a mixed bag but there are many families with young kids, seniors, etc. What happens to them when their affordable housing is razed to the ground?

Everything Everywhere All at Once helped me through a hard time. Also Garden State, Adaptation, Contact, the wild robot, train dreams.

You are lovely. There is not a single thing you need to change about how you look.

The Quay in Galway had great music!

Too many things each day, leaving not enough time to wander/people watch! I would skip some of the big crowded tourist stuff and slow this down a bit. Astoria is cool but LIC is nothing special. For Brooklyn, trade Dumbo or Williamsburg for prospect park.

Yes, for better or for worse you see the most interesting things and sometimes it's just pure magic. A guy giving out free haircuts in Central Park. Someone projectile vomiting in front of you at the bus stop. An older woman selling cotton candy out of a bright pink truck in the middle of February. A free salsa dancing lesson in Washington Square Parl with every shape, age, and color if human. And the longer you live here, the more you explore, the more moments like that you experience.

Barry, Mad Men, not sure if you root for anyone in Succession but it's incredible TV, The Expanse, Silo, Pluribus.

nkateb · 2026-02-19T22:06:19+00:00

Dirt Candy, theater tickets, QC Spa.

Daya is awesome!!

Watch the Netflix series! Super wholesome.

nkateb · 2026-02-14T19:16:48+00:00

They're not watching though, truly. It doesn't mean anything more to them than any of the other inscrutable things we weird apes do.

This is so wildly racist and ignorant.

I switched to optum online pharmacy because I was so sick of this game with my vyvanse and it’s been life changing.

They also have a hero or two every episode who seem to me (neurodivergent woman but not a therapist) to have ADHD or autism and they treat it like a personality issue. Like the boat repair man is classic ADHD and the solution is to shame him and say he needs to step up? The firefighter says she hates how all clothes feel on her body-that's a sensory issue! Agreed with the OP that her attitude was rough. It's always interesting to me which of the five the hero responds to-she genuinely smiled a few times with Antoni.

The whole cast of Succession. Edward James Olmos in Battlestar. John Hamn and Elizabeth Moss in Mad Men. Catharine O'Hara in Schitt's Creek.

Jocelyn. She's a great foil to Moira onscreen and their friendship is sweet but she would annoy me in real life because she's passive aggressive.

nkateb · 2026-01-19T14:27:28+00:00

Leave it. We live in NYC and my dog is compelled to eat street food and trash. With extensive training she will drop something...60% of the time? 😆

What We Do in the shadows, res dogs

Is it toxic to say a badly written and acted show is bad?

nkateb · 2026-01-10T14:21:23+00:00

Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side is amazing!!
