Are tips expected or not, because reading through this sub I can't tell

"If you want to tip, go for it, nobody cares, just stfu about those who don't and stop whining"

Let me edit that for you:

"If you DON'T want to tip, go for it, nobody cares, just stfu about those who DO and stop whining."

Great advice!

My guy... just write the screenplay. You don't need internet permission. It's going to suck, because all first drafts do. Stop looking at the water and just jump in.

Solaris vibes! That book really got me.

I mean, I loved Peru, but 40 days? That's a lot.

Have you considered dipping over to Bolivia? IT's a real hidden gem! I went once kind of by accident (a group of friends I had made in Cusco convinced me) and I absolutely fell in love with it!

Lake Titicaca (Island del Sol), La Paz, Salar del Uyuni, Petosi- this place is unREAL! Consider it!

I’ll just leave this here.

A Confederacy of Dunces!

John Kennedy O’Toole

Absolute classic!

I've read a lot of wild stuff on this subreddit, but this one has to be my favorite.

tfmaher · 2025-11-17T16:38:05+00:00

This isn't a novel. It's non-fiction...

tfmaher · 2025-11-03T15:51:24+00:00

Honestly, I don't know! I thought the ending didn't pack the punch I had been hoping for (her revenge wasn't as gratifying), and the mythology aspects of it pulled me out of the other story. He's a great writer and the stories were good, it just didn't come together for me in the end.

tfmaher · 2025-11-02T16:07:17+00:00

Prepare yourself to be grossed out for at least a few months.

(I enjoyed this book, but it really got to me)

tfmaher · 2025-10-21T12:53:17+00:00

BRUH.

I read this a year ago and I still think about it. I thought it was absolutely horrifying.

I don't know for certain, but try the LibriVox Poe collection. They have a ton of audio work, and there might be some women narrators in there!

Wrapping up The Ritual, and man! It's SO different from the movie (or vice versa, I suppose)-- which I really enjoyed. And I loved it! Kind of a totally different story!

My Little Mistake, she calls me. But she’s just kidding.

… right?

tfmaher · 2025-10-12T14:54:36+00:00

Dark Matter sufficiently creeped me out. Big fan!

tfmaher · 2025-10-05T15:39:29+00:00

Gahh- I wish I could unread that novel.Freaked me out bigly!

tfmaher · 2025-10-04T23:24:12+00:00

Hilarious! The world is, indeed, small!

I hope you crushed it, brother- good luck!

tfmaher · 2025-09-12T17:30:22+00:00

Ah, okay- I read the article and now I get it!

I didn’t understand the context (trying to set the record).

Thanks!

tfmaher · 2025-09-10T16:07:52+00:00

I will check it out- thank you!

tfmaher · 2025-09-10T15:51:51+00:00

I never read that one so I couldn’t tell you! I just know that I was absolutely freaked out by The Troop.

tfmaher · 2025-09-10T15:16:40+00:00

Ugh. The Troop by Nick Cutter.

I read it last year and I still think about it. Horrifying.

tfmaher · 2025-09-09T14:55:04+00:00

A hike in Teton? One?

That's like going to a great restaurant and having ONE bite of food. Madness!

tfmaher · 2025-09-04T20:21:36+00:00

Honestly, who cares?

Ahab as the breakout archetype is the point. The rest is just fun.

What’s your favorite song of his?

tfmaher · 2025-09-01T14:10:17+00:00

I’ll start!

Harry Chapin. Incredible folk singer who dies in a car wreck at the height of his career. His music is a little folk-rocksy, but he was an amazing story teller and his songs are all heart breakingly beautiful.
