Are the Witcher books any good? I just finished playing Witcher 3, and now I feel sad and empty as there's nothing left to do with my virtual friends I got so attached to.

My girlfriend is a narcissist. She repeats all the time how beautiful she is.

Once we were lying in bed, she was naked, and out of nowhere she just started listing her various assets.
>look how my hips are wider than my stomach, thats so amazing
>i have such nice tits. No wonder you love to touch them
>i am so thin, but I still have a spankable butt. That's so great
>i like my face, its so cute, even without makeup
Then she said she would like to be cloned. Then she also said she would prefer the clone to be male. So she could fuck her clone.

And that repeated several times.

I would like her to come down from her high horse, but I can't. Like, she's right on everything. It's actually worrysome for me how well she knows what the male gaze likes in her. She knows her sex appeal in technical detail, she can measure and describe it, it's kind of disgusting.

>It’s a fair concern. Six years into the game, Moshfegh knows you might already have an opinion about her. She’s built her reputation on characters who exist on the margins of society. They are murderers, substance abusers, deadbeats, pervs. She reveals them at their least refined: They fantasize about being raped, or are themselves violent; they vomit, they release “torrential, oceanic” excrement.

>If you are put off by her candor, by the impression she gives of being sure of her own skill, oh well. Modesty is a luxury Moshfegh can’t afford — life is too short. She knows when she’s going to die (she won’t say, too private), so until then she’s going to focus on accessing the spiritual corners of her being through narrative, and not on whether or not you like her.

>Frustrated with readers’ fixation on Eileen’s ugliness, Moshfegh gave the self-harming, unnamed heroine of her next novel, “My Year of Rest and Relaxation,” the looks of a supermodel. “It required me to imagine what it’s like to not be an outsider,” she said. Here instead was “an insider who wants out”: a beautiful, tormented 20-something trying, with the help of prescription narcotics, to black out of life altogether.

>“It required me to imagine what it’s like to not be an outsider,” she said.
Moshfegh was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1981.[3] Her mother was born in Croatia and her father, who is Jewish,[4] was born in Iran.[5] Her parents were both musicians and taught at the New England Conservatory of Music. As a child, Moshfegh learned to play piano and clarinet.[2] She attended the Commonwealth School in Boston[6] and received her BA in English from Barnard College in 2002.[7] She completed an MFA in Literary Arts from Brown University in 2011.[7] She was a Wallace Stegner Fellow in fiction at Stanford University from 2013-2015.[8][9]

Yeah, rough life on the margins, Ottessa. Can't wait to see what insights into the human condition I can get by reading a rich Bostonite writing about depressed twentysomethings who can easily afford prescription pills to abuse. I bet that kind of totally unprecedented narcissistic drivel, I mean authentic lived experience, was real hard to dream up during your MFA at Brown and fellowship at Stanford.

What's your opinion on forcing yourself to finish books you're not that keen on versus just dropping it and moving on to the next one?

Haven't really read enough, but I liked Blood Meridian.
Not doing great, I've got a gf who I like very much but no really close friends I can talk to and hang out with. No motivation or the will to do much of anything. Haven't felt happy in a long time. I'm gonna try to start going to a therapist or something soon and see if that does anything.
