You were little more than background noise in highschool and have taken the time since then to sincerely, and genuinely become a better and more interesting person. However, you're currently in the throes of a period of brooding and angst. Thankfully you have no friends to alienate, and mom still loves you all the same.

You're an old soul for your age. Somehow your peers always move faster than you--But this is to your advantage, as you've watched countless friends burn-out to depression, addiction, and failure.

Thanks for writing these, I always appreciate it when someone does these. For the record, what you wrote is pretty accurate. I've lost most of my friends to addictions (not dead, we just can't get along any more). My peers do move faster than me. Im gonna try to guess yours ahahah:

You're an anxious person. You sometimes convince yourself that you're going insane, but this is temporary and you eventually kind of just forget about it. You're a bit fickle, you're not sure what to do with your life but you're starting to get an idea. You're just starting to become comfortable with yourself.

it's a short, fun, entry-level zizek. you've probably heard most of what's in there before if you have any interest in the guy. still a good intro to zizek to recommend to friends because it's like 150 pages and rooted in major world events everyone's familiar with (9/11 and the mortgage crisis).

have you studied lit at a good university? I can't see how someone interested in literature can't be inspired to study literature after listening and talking to literature tutors and lecturers at a good uni. Their job is to write interesting stuff about their favorite books and pass on their passion to other people who will do the same, I can't see how anyone on this board could be arguing against a lit degree

Yeah, on the whole, I did, I like the idea of shifting POVs although I did find the Miranda part slightly repetitive after a while and some stereotypes could have been avoided but definitely enjoyed the book, it's an easy & fast read as well and I must say the ending took me off guard, which is always good (but could also mean I'm not very smart).

>dating freaky bitches

Most of the time that means fat girls and I'm so done with that.

I agree with that, but I think that anyone who's interested in literature would be interested in learning about literature. If you weren't then you would never read essays online about books. Sure, you can be really antisocial and not want to go to uni, but it's just such a nice space to develop your interest in books. whatever I guess

The book was an alright read during the slow hours of work since its just a big hero fantasy as it would be daydreamed by a student in a boring history lecture, but the execution itself was lacking in a lot of ways.
What made ready player one so fun was the cool characters and interesting world. Armada has neither of those things. The detailed battle scenes were boring and the cast was forgettable. I liked the story arc in itself and the references were fun so I can recommend it for young gamers that want to get into reading but overall it's kind of meh

I really enjoyed Solaris. The idea intrigued me from the very start and the execution was really well done. I loved all of the sequences describing the formations that the ocean was creating. Though my favorite part was probably the thought that it was trying to communicate with them through their memories, not fully understanding what the memories were or what they meant to the humans.

Not even memeing, it was one of the best works I've ever read. There are definitely slow parts and an autistic obsession with the details of whaling, but ultimately those added to the comfy atmosphere. I'm not a very emotional person, but sometimes reading Melville's prose felt as awe-inspiring as standing on a mountaintop. There was also a surprising amount of humor, and the chapters are short enough that it's easier to read than you might think. It's a commitment, but overall hhnng/10 would read again, and not just for the sailorboi homoeroticism.
