What's wrong with theory lol
The theory books I'm reading rn are great but...I guess I can hold back from sharing those if it's really important to you.
Right now the fiction I'm reading is Moby Dick and the collected short stories of Roald Dahl. Moby Dick is an awesome ride. Roald Dahl shorts is just OK. Probably about what you'd expect.
Best fiction books I've read in the last year are Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov and Watership Down by Richard Adams. Pale Fire is one of the craziest books I've ever read.
I mean, it’s just…unless it’s something truly ground breaking or paradigm shifting I feel like I’ve already read it, especially if it’s new stuff. ‘Here’s how capatalism is bad guys, and here’s how it’s being manifested in new yet very familiar ways’ really just tired of getting depressed via conventional means
But I truly appreciate your other recs
Love Pale Fire. One of my all time favorites
