i recently read this cover to cover on a flight home.
i honestly did not expect to become to drawn in, i love a book that puts blinders on me, making me focus in and want to ignore anything off the page.
the not so far off dystopian tone to the novel was eerie but familiar… a story that doesn’t seem too far away.
more like this please.

i know… the worst guy you ever met had half this book stuffed in his messenger bag and made out like he was a genious for reading what seems like the longest book of all time. fuck that guy. it’s genuinely a good read. take it slow, dont feel pressured to get through it quickly. there‘s enough bouncing around from character to character that it doesn’t stagnate. i read it on several 5 hour plane rides over ~2 years and have had a tender place in my heart for it ever since. it’s also afaik the place where my Capitalizing for Emphasis comes from. reading it now is extra neat bc of how many little things dfw got right about the future. did i say neat i meant scary

Dared myself to go to the dentist…
and I went. Turns out it’s never worse than the fear we surround it with 🤷

Not from a place of dreading the day but from a position of gratitude and warmth. The love and comfort felt can carry on with you throughout your day, just invite it along for the ride.

whispers of Midwest emo with a dash of math rock? This album took me on a drive past melancholy into the fields of nostalgia… the soundtrack to a conversation with a past self.
