Best in thread.

OP This is a big moment for me and I'm kind of excited. One of the only times I'll be able to say this unironically so here goes

The answers you seek CAN be found at the bottom of a bottle

Anon I explicitly said I'm not mad, infact I'd say I'm happy there are people so good looking running around having a blast. Better than than we all look like cretins.

Yeah I dunno about the social side of it too much. I just think it's funny the idea that you could be born so beautiful people will pay just to look at you. With your clothes on as well, that must be quite a thing.

What should I do for Thanksgiving, anons?

I was gonna just stay home today but one of my roommates (an African woman) invited her family over for the weekend. They're fucking loud as shit and I don't wanna be at home while they're there. My other two roommates (including the guy who owns the house) are gone too. If I stayed it would just be me and the Africans.

What should I do? Where should I go? I have no family or friends in this town so I can't just go to someone else's place and chill. I thought about going to the library but im not even sure it's open today.

I've come to realize something.
The act of reading and interpreting books is purely an act of psychological projection.

I committed to listening to the audiobooks of the entire series. I'm currently at book 4 and I regret my life choices.

ITT: Personal 10/10s.

It's OK if it's a popular classic or a book only you seem to know about (and it can be a single book or multiple), I just want to hear what /lit/'s personal 10/10s are - the books that seem perfect to you. You don't have to, but if you want, please tell me why it's also your personal 10/10.

> that feel when you don't have much free time but it's OK because you're satisfied with developing your new ideas into something worthwhile
