Welcome to Litsy!

Brought my cioran with me as I wait for a tire change. It seemed appropriate. 🤣

So I‘d wanted to read this book for a while, and boy does it give you a lot to chew on! 😆 I‘ve long considered myself an antinatalist, but I didn‘t know I was a full blown pessimist until I read this, but I guess the shoe fits. This is a hella bleak book, but I think it can give people some really valuable perspective. In short, existence itself is horror. Read the book to see why. 😉 For my full thoughts, see here:

Capitolul paleontologie e minunat

A book is a suicide postponed.

short stories of intolerable people. this prose is lacking import but at its worst is still on the cusp of literary fiction. Still, one has to ask, why this and not nothing? white male cishet fiction is rudderless & lackluster

A promising story collection

I liked the writing style and I liked some of the stories, but most of them I just didn't understand. Most of the stories seemed to end abruptly and I didn't always get the point. I think this one wasn't my style.

Nothing quite like the current issues shelf in the nonfiction section. So divisive/diverse. Although, I am interested in reading the circled book (tagged).

Or shall I continue my adventures in YA & chick lit? 💗🤔

TBH I‘m quite mentally exhausted from daily news events that I‘m enjoying my mini-break from reality as I avoid following too many stories and reading more novels or historical nonfiction/memoir.
