He’s not my all time favourite but I like Stephen King way more than I’m usually willing to admit.

I read a couple of his novels when I was younger but recently I’ve been reading his short stories and I’m even more impressed. It’s well known that he’s bad at ending his books, mostly bc he just writes and doesn’t plan out his stories, but in his shorts he doesn’t have enough time to fuck it up.

If I'm honest I don't even really like reading. It's 2019 and I don't want to larp like I don't have electricity and I still hunt for my food while enjoying a book by the candle light

if we are talking about fiction it's Borges or Kafka because I appreciate brevity/minimalism; ironically if we are talking philosophy it's something abstruse and long-winded like Kant or Hegel, go figure.
