I suppose that's theoretically possible but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

why do straight people always think gay stuff is some kind of cynical ploy, god drat. is that how you relate to your own sexuality???

Because for the longest time gay/lesbian scenes were used as a cynical ploy 99% of the time they appeared.

I can't believe E.L. James is a bad writer who makes gigantic errors.

She also got really, really insistent that COVID vaccines are the devil. Naomi Wolf is an incredibly stupid person.

I've never read anything by Dan Simmons but everything I've heard about him makes his books sound like something to avoid. I did see the TV adaptation of The Terror, which was great, but I can't imagine the book is nearly as good, given the things the series changed for the better (Franklin's portrayal, Lady Silence marrying Crozier instead of merely having an unspoken kind-of feelings for Goodsir, Hankey not being a murderer who stole someone's identity).

Yeah, Mostly Harmless is the only bad Hitchiker's book. It reads like Adams was depressed.

He was, actually, and he didn't think it was fair to end the series on such a dark tone. Then he had a fatal heart attack before he could write another one. Which feels like a natural extension of the HHGTTG story to be perfectly honest.
