Journalist irl; pop culture opinion-haver on social media. Also you just brought piss to a shit fight probably.
As much as I love Yorgos, this one wasn’t for me. It was a cruel movie, and it didn’t have enough laughs to offset that cruelty.
I was expecting for this to be my movie of the year, but no.

Not quite halfway through this beast but I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m finding much more pleasure in it than I did in Great Expectations (which I also really loved).

Welp, I’m only like ONE-SEVENTH of the way through this and it’s already made me cry.

Third book to do so in the past year. (The others were The Hotel New Hampshire and Lonesome Dove.)

Should I read this next? 🤔

I’ll be honest, the first 50 pages were ROUGH & I wasn’t sure I’d make it. But I’m glad I did because it got very good indeed.
It was almost comical, but it’s also a reflection of the worst of us. And it’s scary how relatable the shitfuck of a narrator can be 😬

This is like what if Curb Your Enthusiasm was a piece of classic Russian literature.

A strange and beautiful — though not always entirely pleasant — book.

Finished this, and it’s a corker. A brisk, adrenalized speed run of a book. It serves as a reminder of the dizzying and debilitating effects of obsession and ego, and of the importance of learning your lesson when you have the chance.

“It's a Beautiful Place” by Water From Your Eyes is Disastro-approved.

This was an absolute joy of a book. My goodness. I’ll admit, the twist was a bit obvious and I was disappointed to have my prediction be correct, but it was still a hell of a good time. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this. #booksky

This fuckin rips so far. Not at all what I expected but very engaging with a relatably weird-ass protagonist.
