>What the fuck is wrong with his face
That's the face of someone who's seen enough of this shit, it's the face I see every morning when I brush me teeth. What's wrong with his face? Better ask: what's wrong with this world?

I got filtered by Anna Karenina because I couldn't keep track of all the Russian names. They are all really long and everyone has 3 nicknames that you are just supposed to know even though they don't resemble their real names at all. It's pathetic but I'm not going to read a book where I have to keep notes of who is who. For Russian novels I stick to Dostoyevsky because his characters are depressed loners so there's fewer names to keep track of.
