Absurd and beautiful. I book about life, it’s trials, and ultimate contentment in just tending your “garden”- taking care of what is around you.

What they feel. How they communicate.
You don’t need to be into plants to like this book. It’s simply letting you in in this other universe when humans are not the main character and it’s so beautiful and rewarding. Trees socialize, grow societies and children and take care of their neighbors and friends. And it’s not even a metaphor.

My boyfriend - who's not a reader - bought it for himself but he haven't read it yet (Of course, because this shit is intense)
But, that said: is fucking great lol
Love me some essays and personal opinions well written, so this was right on my lane.
I must say I haven’t realized it’s also a GREAT READ for times like now: religious tolerance is something we’re fucking lacking as of now.
So yeah, very short and tedious but a great read overall!!!

Ling Ma made me enjoy reading again
It is in the most surreal situations that a person feels the most present, the closest to reality.
Themes include alienated women in bizarre circumstances, husbands speaking in $$$$, yeti lovemaking, immigration, ancient burial rituals, and so much more

What more can you ask for in a titty shakin good time than this super good spirited DJ with a banging collection of weird and fun knockouts. The party is called The Go-Go Muck and it rules.
“AGGRO OLDIES FOR THE MATURITY STUNTED!
Soul stompers, garage pounders, greazy r&b, honkin’ instros, crazy calypsos, kookie limbos, manic mambos, fucked up freakbeat, dink music, fink music, monk music, junk music, soaking wet reverb, biker fuzzzzz, screaming organs, stupid drums, wailing saxes, shakin’ maracas, blaring horns and anything Diddley-fied!”

So sweet and spicy, though sugar free. It feels like sipping dusky daydreams. The best golden hour beverage.

Levin is one of my favorite contemporary authors, and I think Bubblegum is a masterpiece. It is the fictional memoir of Belt Magnet (a neurotic man child who can speak to inanimate objects) about living in an alternate world where the internet was never invented. It’s lowbrow, it’s highbrow, it’s sad, it’s funny, and it made me rethink my general distaste for contemporary literature. -Jack
