Thanks. I have a copy of “Tintin in the Land of the Soviets” that’s given me a lot of pleasure. Super early Tintin is so crudely illustrated, and the plots are so violent and incomprehensible – there’s no way to resist being charmed.

>>12623837
>Is the annotated Lolita worth getting?
A thousand times yes. There are so many little jokes and Easter eggs lurking in “Lolita” that you’d be likely never to find without the assistance of the annotation. There are also many interesting tidbits about the development of the book. If you’ve read “Lolita” a few times, I’d say you owe it to yourself to get the annotated edition at some point.

"The Disaster Artist" is surprisingly good. It lures you in with promises of weird anecdotes about Tommy Wiseau, but turns out to be a surprisingly serious book, and not especially light.

As for "The Ode Less Traveled," it was pretty much my introduction to poetry. No regrets.
