>tfw watching documentaries with dad in silence is the comfiest feel
I miss it. He's not... the easiest dude, but I really use to enjoy that. Especially when we started watching astronomy stuff. Every thursday, we'd all just silently show up in the living room and watch it together.

He also loves watching Holocaust survivor documentaries. He's utterly fascinated by Hitler but is disgusted with the Nazis.
It's a whole 'White Noise' situation, I reckon.

Bit tiring. He doesn't expect an answer though, which is nice.

I have no idea why, as he's reasonably well-read.
Even if he doesn't read that much literature anymore, I would expect him to like better authors. He didn't even like Céline.

For a bit I was going to follow his shame and go into business. Then I discovered cocaine, had a lot of gay and straight sex, pushed my banking account into the gutter.

Working night shifts at a bondage shop and teaching yuppies how to evaluate the quality of a flogger. Just trying to make enough money to go to a new city and leave behind past baggage.

Burroughs. Idealized the punk movement as a kid so I stared reading him because I knew he was sleeping with a guitarist in Television or something. He's one of those authors I read when I didn't have the skills or experience to grasp him so he remains a benchmark of my intelligence/comprehension.

I love my father.

Also OP, have you read much of Tom Clancy? I read Rainbow Six years ago and liked it, but from others I've spoken to that have read more Tom Clancy they said his other books aren't that great. Not bad by any means but sort of a downhill thing. Is that true?
