Mixtape Hyperborea

Maybe. Idk. Haven‘t read it but the 2007 nostalgia is a draw that makes it look like maybe the least bad /lit/ output.

This didn't really fit with OP pic which suggests OP was a child in the mid 2000's and views those times in simplistic childish ways, but have another which is more accurate to the times than OPs childhood.

On second thought, both of these are more on point than I lead to believe, they both address the idealization of childhood even if they are not idealization of childhood.

Cool. But I don't actually idealize the era, it is more that I have forgotten it. I remember feeling a a certain stifling frustration and dissatisfaction, but that I think is more to do with my immediate environment and development at the time.
I can't really place the "texture" of those times in a broader sense more societal sense, so I am curious to find books that have what I am missing.
