Almost acceptable desu, very normie early 20c classics but they're good. With a side of Tolkein fantasy doggerel (though thats the most acceptable fantasy doggerel) and utter literature fuckup/failure henry james - a man who couldn't write an interesting sentence with a gun to his head - brain shitting his way through 140 pages of terribly framed nonsense ghost story. You need to find better books.

I picture this game playing on the San Andreas engine, but there is no combat. You mostly play as Don Gately, driving to work at Cluckin' Bell and car pooling other members of Ennett House to recovery, where one is giving various weekly tasks, working out, and pursuing side gigs, burglaries, and romantic interests in your spare time. There is danger of relapsing on drugs, which does not trigger a Game Over state, but sets back one's progress and introduces a real time addiction/detox mechanic.

When you play as Hal a tennis minigame dominates.

You should check out faulkner's collected stories if you havent. Really interesting stuff. Took me a bit to get used to his comedy but the 2nd section - The Town - has many of my fav stories from faulkner ever. Mainly talking about centaur in brass, dry september, that evening sun, a rose for emily, mule in the yard. Peep them for sure, they're masterpieces.

I have a couple collections an I read a lot of Faulkner but he is one of the few writers that I have to be in a mood for.That Evening Sun and A Rose for Emily are a couple of my favorite short stories.One another note, Absalom, Absolom is one of the most difficult books I've read.Right there with GR and Ulysses.The stream-of-conciousness in AA is very dense and I remember sometimes reading multiple paragraphs or even pages before I got my footing and realized what was going on.I do remember liking it though.TSatF is a piece of cake next to AA

>I didn't like odyssey at age 15, should I revisit it?
I imagine I wouldn't have liked any book at 15. I'm 31 and didn't read it until I was probably 28. I just reread it twice last year. It's a good book. You'd probably have a better time of it now anyways by way of at least knowing what you're getting into, even if you didn't like it back then. I feel as though a lot of the time we set ourselves up for our own failure by imagining what something could be like based on its reputation or notoriety, whereas it turns out nothing like our hearsay-based preconceptions at all. When we look at something again in retrospect we don't judge it for what it isn't, but we take it for what it is. Give it a chance at least.
