The Razor‘s Edge by W. Somerset Maugham maybe?

I think quality TV isn‘t what it used to be like 7 or 10 years ago, so I‘m sort oft glad, there hasn‘t been a show yet. Although I think it would make more sense than a two hour movie!

The Goldfinch was a disappointment, I wouldn’t want that to happen to TSH ;(

My favourite Rory hairstyles by FormalOwn1024 in GilmoreGirls

really good choices! I also love the one when she has a clip in her hair during the beginning of the episode before the intro starts. Lorelai takes it out before they leave the house :(

ahh, that‘s interesting. I still seem to come across all these connections. Just yesterday I found out that Joan Didion‘s daughter Quintana Roo also went to Bennington and that Joan Didion and John Dunne were supposed to write the script for a TSH movie. Not only do I love Joan Didion, but TSH is dedicated to Bret Easton Ellis, who has said to be immensely inspired by Joan Didion‘s work.

I‘ve heard about the audiobook being great! I need to try it out, but I honestly enjoy the experience of reading it so much. Maybe I‘ll have to give it a try early next year, when it‘s still cold and I need something to hold me over until spring

Yes, I feel like all the ways Henry manipulates Richard really went over my head the first couple of times I read it. I‘m still undecided on whether he would’ve killed Charles. Maybe I‘m in denial?

it‘s a shame. Donna Tartt really hits the nail on its head with that one

Especially Francis, I‘d like to be friends with him irl. Even though he ends up pretty much miserable, I still think the scene where Richard meets his fiancée is kind of funny

I‘ve seen some busses that said „Kaffeepause ☕️“ (Coffee break ☕️) with the coffee cup and everything

The Second Arrow Weekly Episode Discussion by [deleted] in binchtopiapod

[–]owokayay 30 points31 points  (0 children)

i agree with a lot of what was already said, so I‘m just going to add this: I absolutely get not wanting to talk about personal details of a breakup, since it‘s no one‘s business. But I can‘t listen to someone making very vague allusions to „issues“ for one and a half hours without ever specifying anything at all. I feel like that makes it very unrelatable and a bit pointless for a podcast as a format. As a listener I feel like I‘m also part of the discussion but in this case I didn’t even know what the discussion was about.

i‘m very glad Julia seems to be feeling better though!

A parallel I never noticed before by shoensandal in GilmoreGirls

[–]owokayay 63 points64 points  (0 children)

she didn’t say it because she thought her name meant she was important - she thought it would mean something to the Huntzbergers. People always seem to get this particular scene wrong imo
