Finished this. And look, it’s not for everyone, but despite it being a rough read emotionally, I have to say, I just loved it. Loved it. It didn’t release my attention for a moment.
It’s sadder than you could possibly imagine, but — damn good book.

Casting this in my head as I go…

Jude: Harry Lawtey
Willem: Jacob Elordi
JB: David Jonsson
Malcolm: Jharrel Jerome

(I know JB is supposed to be “fat”/“chubby,” and yet and I have cast someone who is exceptionally fit, but that’s just who came to mind.)

Halfway through this. Yikes.
It has totally captured my attention, and it’s been an addictive read thus far. But I think it’s about to get hell of a lot harder to get through.

Well this was sadly not great. Or even good.
Now reading the new one by my favorite author!
This will be my *does math* ninth or tenth (?) Irving book, and I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.

Do you want to see your horror villains ice-skating after people on ice skates made of ice, wielding axes like hockey pucks? Well then boy do I have the terrible movie for you.

Update: 70% of the way through this and the Zionism stuff has toned down, but sadly the book just kinda isn’t great irrespective of that.
I’m hoping that by the end of this John Irving shows me that it’s possible to be a friend of Israel and also have sufficient empathy for the Palestinian people and outrage over the genocide being committed against them.
I’m really hoping Irving pulls this one off somehow.

Last movie you tried to watch that was so fucking bad you couldn’t finish it?

For me it was this rank turd.

Just watched for the first time.
Good movie! But why did Gene Hackman’s Little Bill, a known killer, care so much about preventing other killers from killing other-OTHER killers he had no loyalty or connection to?
Bit of a plot hole there if I do say so myself.

Wow there is a lot of stuff about Zionism in this book and I’m only 100 pages in.

I’m not a picky or cheap shopper — like, I’ve been known to spend too much on clothes, too often — but like why the fuck does this light jacket cost this much money?
For this price, this thing had better be keeping me warm even when I’m not wearing it.

Well no one was a goddamn bit of help on this, that’s for sure.
Heard a song in a cafe and I know it but I can’t place it. It’s a rock song and in the chorus it says “I don’t really know” and something like “feels like paradise”

Sounds almost like the Screaming Trees but that’s not it.

Help?

Whenever I read Chair Company analysis I feel like I’m being gaslit because nobody seems to get that everything in this show is sweet, glorious, ridiculous nonsense.

Also this reads like satire, because what the fuck do you mean THAT sounds too neat and tidy 😭
