what's your take on poetry slam events?
I want to attend events that are somewhat literature related and all I could think about are book fairs and this

>What is the one above Gravity's Rainbow?
Black future, sissy fetish novella about a dystopian future where blacks rule America and use white women to breed while white boys are feminized into submission. It's alright. Surprisingly competent in setting the stage and just titillating enough if you are into that kind of stuff, although the smut never goes above passable. Does not everyday its welcome at least
>What about the one on the left of Industrial Society?
Looks like Toradora, a romantic comedy light novel. Have not read it but the anime is worth a watch if you have the stomach for tropes such as tsunderes. Don't write it off, it gets quite compelling

Have you been to reddit? Their books board is fucking trash, it’s literally 2deep4u retards thinking they’re posting brilliant takes that have already been mentioned a million times because they only read popular drivel. It gets so bad I almost made an account just to call someone an inbred retard for saying Tender is the Flesh was a searing critique of the meat industry and we should all go vegan. Like holy shit, the book’s message wasn’t that deep and yet you still managed to let it go over your head.
