FactsAreUseless posted:A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again and Consider the Lobster are both good. Foster was at his best in essays, not fiction. absolutely. these two are still phenomenal. I still remember the cruise ship, the gross boomer Illinois state faire, maine lobster fest, tv, host and mccain. his fiction all mostly sucked though a few ones like the bathroom attendant and good old neon

Dostoyevsky had like 3 of these in every book and they all rule

The last book i read was Conan: Hour of the Dragon and it's got a good part where Conan get's enslaved by the Fantasy Mediterraneans but when they put him in the gally Conan notices a bunch of the Fantasy Black Guys are dudes he used to be pirates with and free's them. The Fantasy Mediterraneans are so mind-blown that Conan has black friends they can't react and Conan chops them all up and throw the parts overboard.

https://mobile.twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1195085714683310083 The University of Pennsylvania’s athletic department has canceled the rest of the women’s volleyball team’s season after what it described as “vulgar, offensive and disrespectful” signs appeared in the locker room. The signs were found earlier this week; the decision to end the season was announced Wednesday night. There were no immediate details on the signs’ content. The team had just two remaining games: at Yale Friday and at Brown Saturday.
