there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Alright i flipped on then back off again on Sabbath’s Theater. It felt like the wrong book, then made me laugh out loud a few times and I decided I liked it, but then it changed back, felt like wrong book at wrong time again. Not unhappy i read it, and i would like some more roth, i think.

I think in this mode pretty often:
Will this be a paragraph, a page, or a chapter in the Post 9/11 USA history course. Will the course be popular? Amongst who? When will they be engrossed reading about this period? Easy to see how disorienting it will be.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed
student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism
teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

I went with Sabbath’s Theater and afraid the timing is off - reads like a book i might have devoured at another time but now plumbing the depths of depravity is not exactly my jam.

I like booke.
I really loved the Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides.
I’ve barely started Creation by Gote Vidal but its shaping up to be a real banger.
I think Manhattan Transfer by John Dod Passos is next.
Lmk if you’ve read any of them!

I'd be upset but for many facts....America no longer exists. There is no Congress holding the president in check. There is no supreme court adhering to justice. There is no electorate that has the mental capacity to understand how American government is supposed to work.

Okay so my post-Conclave googling re: papal names led me to discover Pope Benedict IX, the only pope to be elected THREE times. How does one end up being elected pope not once, not twice, but thrice? I'm glad you asked.

Not enjoying An American Dream by Norman Mailer. I have read a couple of knock-outs of his, and a few dull, overwritten clunkers. Afraid this is another clunker.
I may have met it where it lives at another time, at another age, but I don’t know when that would have been.
