I totally get what you mean! I’ve been trying to comment and vote, but my usage is pretty strictly mobile based so I’m relying on the capabilities of a specific app, which is still in its infancy.

I will say, I’ve been hanging out on /all /new and seeing more and more instances popping up that are obvious subreddit replacements.

I would have to say American Psycho was pretty fucked up and I don’t think I see it mentioned yet. Way more intense than the movie because it’s a much deeper character study. But man that Patrick Bateman has some fucking crazy thoughts

I love formative books like that!! Not nearly the same genre wise but I have vivid memories of my mom reading CS Lewis to us, though I haven’t revisited any of them since their movies came out years ago.

I have a little collection of his books that I haven’t read yet, but this has me excited for one I haven’t heard much of!! The ones I’m most familiar with are Tess of the D’ubervilles and Jude the Obscure.

I think I preferred The Iliad to The Odyssey but I really liked them both. The Odyssey was definitely more fantastical whereas The Iliad felt more epic and thrilling.

I read that towards the end of last year, and I think it could just be the writing style of that time, but there were definitely some tough slogs to get through. At the same time though, there are some great passages that were pretty thrilling or spooky or even a bit funny. Especially the image of a cowboy character stuck in the middle of this got his style horror 😂

I’d definitely count it, if you read it in a book lol. And yeah, it’s known as the oldest story ever, so I’d imagine it outdates everyone, Homer included 😉

Ugh. This one hurt. I know he was 89, and I feel so lucky he got his last two out and get to read them (still haven’t read Stella Maris but The Passenger was a lot of mysterious fun, reminded me a bit a Pulp, contextually speaking)

Classic

I will never not read that as “fuck you spez” 😂 I love it

I’ve never been much of a tumblr person but I may check it out. I’ve also jumped into mastodon, but haven’t found much funny

I really wish all the questions were just the meme of him that says “I’m a greedy little pig boy” 😂

A me-crow-wahv-aye?

How I wish I could sleep with such reckless abandon! Way to fight the power 😂

Just made the jump to Lemmy today, feels good.
