If you're so weak as to claim someone else is keeping you from living life on your own terms, you would never survive in nature, friend.
Becoming one with nature is a lot harder than it looks.

I came here from /ck/ to ask about good memoirs written by famous chefs/restaurateurs
I was honestly worried about being looked down on by the sorts of people I imagine reading literature (heh), but this thread has really popped that bubble.
For shame.

I don't get why people get angry at "It was all a dream" or "None of it was real." I mean, I understand a little, because it is a cheap narrative device, and I think it's rarely used effectively, however I think it doesn't ruin hardly anything either. Think about it. You're angry because the events of the book weren't real in the context of the book, right? Well, in the context of the inner frame the book provides, the events still happened. If you were to apply the same logic to the book itself, then you should also be angry, because the events of a book of fiction didnt happen either, in the context of the world that YOU are in.

Does this make any fucking sense to anyone else or am I just autistic
