@dimitripilled having a proustian experience reading these names
Reading is one of the best things you can do and costs like $20 for six hours, tops. In many cases it's free. The people who make it possible live in penury and the whole modern economy is organized against it.
@JokermenPodcast leonardcohenfiles.com/bl-chinese.html even he was embarrassed by it later: "Beautiful Losers was written outside...It was a blazing hot summer. I never covered my head. What you have in your hands is more of a sunstroke than a book. Dear Reader, please forgive me if I have wasted your time.
I just think it's good to be amazed every now and then, plus they're fun to read and think about
the most commonly heard argument for reading great books is that they develop empathy. maybe that's true. but i think it's less appreciated that they also teach you humility: that you're not that smart, you're not that special, and someone has had all your ideas before

@evangrizlon Calypso, in Ben Affleck's voice: You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about 10 seconds from when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door. Because I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. No goodbye, no see you later
@evangrizlon "Come and See? Well, heck," I chuckle as I check my watch, "I got the time. Why not!"
@mcmansionhell proust wrote 7 long volumes about looking back at a lifetime of procrastinating and doing nothing and finding it beautiful
@NickPinkerton a soldier yelling "let me see that sumbitch" in response to Kit asking the crowd if anyone wants his comb is a divine moment of film comedy.
@JasonKPargin in my signed Permuted Press edition that I got back in 2007(?) there was in the corner on page 69 a drawing of a small stout dong
@evangrizlon normal brain: great song smart brain: a trenchant and bitter satire on boomer optimism by ending with such a cliched song genius brain: great song :)
@PaulSkallas I do think there is value in engaging in an activity that calls for deeper kind of concentration, which is often found in text that provide a challenging or nuanced view of the world. It can add a greater context to the wisdom gained through experience.
