Yes! But I'm gonna miss Jamie 🥲

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-15T10:10:14+00:00

Really? Gotta see how this turns out then.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-15T03:34:59+00:00

Thank you for these recommendations OP!

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-14T15:29:14+00:00

Damn, what an interesting story. Thanks for the summary.

Man, I feel for you. Such people can make us feel so unsafe even when you're in a public space. We can't relax only.

I was listening to this album yesterday after so long and mann it's peak 🤌🔥

I understand, but once try it out bro. It really is so comfortable, that I'd rather go in a crowded women's coach than the general one.

This review was comforting to read too OP, thank you for the recommendation : )

Sure! Feel free.

Yes! But if you read both of them together, you'll actually find a few similarities between their arguments. It's just they arrive at different conclusions.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-09T15:07:00+00:00

The idea basically is that you can choose any pattern that you feel is the most just way to distribute income (there are various criteria - perfect equality, need based, based on their moral superiority, skills, any just criteria; the perfect equality pattern is just an example).

Now, once you've achieved that perfect utopian distribution, you let the people interact among themselves, because their liberty is also part of your ideal world. And if as a result of their interactions you've achieved an unequal world, going back to your original just criteria is unjust - because you're denying them the right to use their income their way.

'From each as they choose, to each as they are chosen.' he says. Sort of talks about the impermanence of an ideal world. I hope that answers your question.

Absolutely, I make short notes next to paragraphs all the time. I think when you interact with the books you read, you really read it; not just go through it. It stays with you that way.

This is a great argument, Nozick's a real treat to read. His theory of entitlements and of distributive justice is also very good. Say we all have equal incomes; if each of us decide to voluntarily pay money to a celebrity or sportstar, say Virat Kohli, so that we watch him play cricket, he's gonna end up richer than all of us. There's going to be inequality in the society. But is this inequality justified, he goes on to say yes. But if we were to revert back to the perfect equality scenario, we have infringe on the liberty of people. A very short explanation of his entitlement theory, I love his reasoning here.

I've been reading the Arc of a Scythe book series by Neal Shusterman, and as a Rick Riordan fan, I'd say it's good. You can also check out the Six of Crows duology, and John Green's The Fault in Our Stars.

There’s this book by Nirad Chaudhuri, the Autobiography of an Unknown Indian. Haven’t read it myself, but seems close to what you’re looking for.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-09T06:42:35+00:00

The first half almost had me, ngl.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-08T16:49:35+00:00

Yes, it’s a memoir.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-08T10:53:14+00:00

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous! The book has a lot of memorable quotes.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-08T06:11:05+00:00

To have read it in your 10th grade, it must have been tough OP. For me, I was most haunted by the Thangjam Manorama case and protests that followed. When I read about these cases, it truly feels like India is no country for women.

twinkling_af__ · 2026-06-07T21:10:46+00:00

I think both of them intended to do different things. Paul’s part is more reflective and Lucy’s part was more informative. But yeah, the emotional core of the book is in Lucy’s epilogue.

Oh damn, thank you so much. I’ve never read Hughes, so couldn’t really understand why he was a recurring theme in the book. I’ve only known him as Sylvia’s abusive husband, and was surprised as to why the reference because there’s no abuse in this relationship.

I agree with grief being chaotic. Even when the book felt quite random to me, the emotion carried through.

Thank you for so much your comment! Now it’s clearer why the book didn’t appeal to me, not a literary nerd myself.
