Life isn't just cruel. Life takes the things we love that give us comfort and turns them into the most crushing pain.

I wish I could tell you how to cope. I don't know.

This dude who would eventually try to have gay sex with me told me Ana Karenina was his favorite novel. I dropped it halfway through because literary realism sucks. Only ever appreciated Flaubert in that regard.

And why should I slog through Brothers Karamazov when all of the (intelligent) philosophical dilemmas have already been distilled into far more readable critical analyses? Every Dostoyevsky guy I've met comes across to me as a weirdly severe, horny pseud. And the only Russians they ever read are Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

You think you can filter me? I have memorised over 1200 authors and matched to multiple portrait or busts (all of them old or bearded). This isn't even a challenge for me, freshman.
