An ex gf gifted me American Psycho and Freakonomics and I couldn't make it more than 20 pages into American Psycho and never even opened Freakonomics. The other 2 are Wheel of Time and America The Book.

Extra Large Marge posted:There were a lot of articles complaining about a specific type of guy that lives in New York City. Is this like when it turned out all the bernie bro articles that started cropping up around the same time were largely referring to a specific couch surfing creep of a goon that for whatever reason hung out with a lot of journalists?

I didn't get through the whole list but for the first couple dozen it looked like 1 in every few entries was along the lines of "the grapes of wrath" that a good chunk of people probably just had to read in school as part of their basic "English" curriculum. It was confusing to see why they were included as a weird jab at whatever strawman the author is upset about. The other stuff like atlas shrugged or whatever, fine to make fun of but I mean then you're narrowing your window of attack down to libertarian dudes which while prevalent is pretty easy to avoid.

Extra Large Marge posted:Hell yeah, Shogun These days, there’s gotta be at least one volume of Nassim Nicholas Taleb on there. Most likely never opened, especially if the white dude in question is a loudmouth bitcoin bro. I will cop to an original Naval Institute Press copy of Hunt for Red October being the only Clancy book I kept from when I was a literal loving teenager.

That list is weird. There's a bunch of stuff like Tom Clancy which is fair, but then you have Lord of the Flies, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Bonfire of the Vanities which are well regarded literature by most people? But yeah most of it sounds like airport books. Like, Lord of the Rings? The hell is that supposed to be?

I got dumped for having no goals or passions that can be monetized, and I guess my partner felt like a parent sometimes rather than a partner. She didn't address it to resolve any issues, just threw it at me during the announcement to separate. We own a house together, you'd think one would want to work things out but I guess not. I miss our cat and her laughter. And Dem tiddies

I don't know how to use a semicolon and if a book has even one I deem it too high-brow and stop reading. It's arty-farty pretentious punctuation acrobatics forced upon us by the liberal elites
