Saccharine mush

a diamond in a chunk of coal

I enjoy shoving lumps of coal up my ass and squeezing them so hard they become diamonds.

I am a poet

Plenty from amerigroids, but not from anywhere else I don't believe.

That's normal in South America

3rd world life

Before I started my tour I read the diaries of my supervising officer
The things he went through would make the most jaded man weep with despair
Not only was he on dinner rush, the bastards took in 4 families only 3 hours before close
That was only a taste of the horrors he had to endure, and it steeled me for my breakfast shift

>>24239212
start with the greeks

>>24239193
why do you keep doing these? I like the book and would engage if you actually said something.

i can't handle this, i loved this guy so much and he did all this horrible stuff

Loving someone you've never met was where you went wrong.

>In 2016, Gaiman, as well as several celebrities, appeared in the video "What They Took With Them", from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, to help raise awareness of the issue of global refugees.[185][186]

>In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Gaiman supported Ukraine by announcing on Twitter that he does not want to renew contracts with Russian publishers.[189] Gaiman also encouraged donating to Ukrainian refugees.[190][191]

>In 2023, Gaiman signed an open letter addressed to Russian president Vladimir Putin, alongside over 100 other public figures, calling for the release of Russian prisoner Alexei Navalny.[192][193]

just another case of being eaten by his own

We've lost nothing of value. I genuinely do not know why people care about his work in the slightest. It's horrendous.

why can't i enjoy successful writer?

The Bible.

you sound bitch made, might as well drop it now

>>24239151
also the chapter about them walking in the forest to find the telescope stand or whatever is just bad. feels like a teenager wrote it.

>>24239145
I feel the same way. Pretty juvenile for such an acclaimed book, which is a shame because I loved The Pale King.
>'it gets good at page 250 trust.'
I'm on page 240 and it's dragging like a mother fucker

I think what intrigued me the most about it was the secrets in the book, its length, and the fact that I haven’t spoiled it for myself. Really I am able to relate to it in a lot of ways and I think that is what is keeping me from enjoying it. I have lived through some of this and it isn't realistically written at all. Unfortunately, I’m starting not to care.

DFW was a master of postmodern prose and a cultural prophet. America would be very different if he hadn't killed himself.

The only things I didn't like as much on my most recent read of IJ were the Kate Gompert woe passages. Everything else was extremely entertaining and true and I think IJ in general is full of stuff that young people should think about more. ofc it isn't the endgame of literature or anything but I think it should be required public high school reading, maybe a semester-long thing.

Isn't Klinger the one that's done from the obnoxious point of view that Holmes and Watson were the real authors, and ACD was more like their editor? I'm not putting up with that.

>>24239238
Oh okay.

This nigga only reads women.

>There's no gay or trans characters
Whatever happened to Nico? Always liked that edgy dork

>>24239189
Enough to try it out or not?

>>24239263
He's off screen for this trilogy. Honestly I liked him too until he met that other kid in Trials of Apollo and Rick made that his entire personality.

>"Up and died and nobody even knew it. I remember when I was what, 10? 11? And that guy just walked past me, stopped all of a sudden, then pulled a potato out his pocket and threw it at me. Damn near knocked me out he threw that thing so hard. Said I was ugly. Too hungry. Couldn't stand to see such an ugly face, had to fix it, threw another potato at me. Calls me an ugly little thing—right—then spits at my feet."

>If OP sucks cock, he is thuswhence gay, for by his nature of both sucking and fucking men, he can do nothing else
This is an excerpt from my 1998 book "OP is a fag".

>my friend is such an incompetant loser after his 4th suicide attempt I went to visit him at the hospital and the doctor said they had to put him on assisted suicide watch

These are fucking incredible honestly.

How do you get it so high quality? Is 4.5 better than 4o? I've tried some writing stuff with 4o using canvas or directly asking it, and it always caps at about 1200 words and has fairly meh prose.

>>24239129
4.5 is lightyears better than 4o. It actually understands humans.

but what about the baseball?

...i wish the kid was here

oh well, time to fish

It's a really nice little book. But it's pretty much the secularized story of a Christian Saint.

>>24238988
I read somewhere a while ago that, when asked what Old Man and the Sea was 'about' Hemingway said "it's about a guy who tries to catch a fish" and nothing else.
You could say the message is 'it's not the destination but the journey', you could say it's a metaphor for life and that you don't always get what you want but you get up and do it anyway because that's what you do, or it's just about a guy who tries to catch a fish and that's what a fisherman's life is like. I don't know personally.

>>24238988
terrible book

>>24238988
Hemingway doesn't waste your time.
He write succinctly, he tells his story without any sort of pretense or trickery. Most of the time he writes about things that really matter. That combined with his style can be very impactful.
The Old Man and the Sea hits even harder, as it has basically no dialogue and is a very short novel.

Try reading the book, it tells upuy

She was really a he?

Philosophers worship words so that downies like OP become capable of writing comprehensible sentences
