There is the matter of respect for the author and for books themselves, which demand more of us than fickle Instagram feeds. “You suffer when you quit a story midway through-and so does literature,” reads the subtitle of a 2014 Atlantic essay arguing for completion. People seem to fall decisively on one side or the other of this (unabashedly nerdy) debate.

All the while, it remains for too long in the “currently reading” slot of my Goodreads profile so that I don’t formally have to admit defeat. If I set it down, I let it languish on my nightstand, then demote it to the floor under my nightstand and eventually reshelve it. I tend to keep going-just 10 more pages?!-even as my mind wanders. This set me up for a toxic, occasionally torturous mental exercise when it came to finishing-or not finishing-books. I was taught not to be “a quitter” (though I now question why “quitting” has been branded as an identity and not merely an action). I’m also a type A person-a hand-raiser raised on gold stars and assorted forms of validation. I’ve been reading steadily since I first learned how, building from Sweet Valley High to Sally Rooney. Despite our bond as like-minded bibliophiles, I broached what can be a controversial topic hesitantly: Does she finish books she doesn’t like, or-I dangled an awkward silence-give up? Her answer was swift: “At my age, I don’t have time for bad books.” And, really, why should any of us? I am a books person. We had both absolutely adored Bess Kalb’s memoir, No One Will Tell You This But Me, and discussed it over baked goods, but we felt similarly lukewarm about a forthcoming royal biography. I recently lunched with a dear friend and fellow voracious reader on her 94th birthday.

#TWISTED INSANE SHIRT CRACKED#
If you don’t get out much, or ever have had the chance to see ICP and company live, go for it, but it’s not all its cracked up to be. Speaking of legs, you’ll be walking A LOT, so I hope your in shape. ( Due to the magic of the Dark Carnival of course) You’ll be asked to loan every one out of four ninjas money, cigarettes, food ect…and be forced to have to listen to their shitty life circumstances….also stuff from your tent will suddenly grow legs and walk off. Speaking of shitty, you ever witnessed grown men taking a shit in the middle of a crowd? You will. Its a lot of rural bumpkins amassing in one place…for a couple of days…with no showers.drunk, High and loaded out of they’re minds, Eager to pay for shitty over priced food and other things. It seems interesting but also exhausting.Ĭomment posted on Thursday, May 16th, 2019 02:45 am GMT -6 at 2:45 am Comment posted on Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 07:20 pm GMT -6 at 7:20 pm
