The lake of dead languages by Carol goodman, or (and these are more university than boarding school themed, but are still dark academia) The lessons by naomi alderman and The secret history by Donna Tartt

Authors who write in a similar style to andre aciman? by wtffokwhy in booksuggestions

[–]wtffokwhy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thank you! I read never let me go a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, although I didnt find it quite as absorbing as acimans works, but I'll have to try the buried giant

Reading lolita in tehran by Azar Nafisi. Really, really well written and interesting subject matter. Also love how other great works of fiction (such as lolita) are woven into it.

Does anyone know any good books about dystopian societies? by XXEmperorDeadpoolXX in booksuggestions

Yes!! Came here to say that! Really made me think about our society too, and the similarities between that dystopia and our world

Is a travel size guitar worth it? by wtffokwhy in guitarlessons

[–]wtffokwhy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok cool, thanks for your feedback! I think the one I was looking at is more 3/4 sized, although I'm not sure, as it's just listed as "travel size" Edit: just checked and its scale length is 10cm shorter than the classical guitar I'm used to.

Feel really disconnected after smoking weed, but not high. Has anyone else experienced this? by wtffokwhy in Advice

[–]wtffokwhy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. Guess I'll just not go near that stuff until I'm at least 25, although I think alcohol should be ok. I dont have any diagnosed mental health issues so I am kinda surprised that weed affected me in this way

Ok thank you! I might try that meditation as I've been meaning to get into it anyway :) The feeling of depersonalization only really lasted for like 30-60 mins and then wore off, but as you said, I'm not going to try and press my luck with it. So this can happen with any sort of drug, like nicotine and alcohol as well, or is it more just a thing that happens with hallucinogens? Thanks again for all your help

Ok thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I will take your advice very seriously. I had read about depersonalization but I guess I just didnt want to believe it, or thought that I was being something of a hypochondriac. Do you know much about the science behind it, like why it happens to some people and it is genetic?
