I’m holding out hope for you!

Amidst moving, my cat stopped eating for at least 10 days, was just skin stretched over bone, 15years old and already costing $75 a month in meds (plus the hundreds spent on bloodwork).

Took her to the vet for the last time and vet made a new med suggestion…

appreciating its exceptional prose, I might not have read more Franzen after that.

Because of love for Freedom I’ve read all but Strong Motion, now. He is a treasure to me.

I intended to read the Corrections, unavailable at the library, got Freedom instead and I’m glad i did.

I loved Freedom. Like its on my Mt Rushmore, has to be, instant fave.

Then read Corrections and it turned me off a little, just kinda dark for me, gave me the blues. And I think, despite

Fast forward 20+ years and I finally read the Talisman… and I hate it.

But, i’ve sat on this copy of Black House, seriously, for more than 20 years. I HAVE to read it now right?!

Idk, maybe 2026 is finally the year.

Flipping through your 20 days here and we have many in common, Black House among them.

When I got a copy it was a brand new hardcover for like $3 because the bookstore was liquidating and I was a huge King fan.

Discovered it was a sequel to Talisman after purchase, shelve it to read Talisman first

Similar: 17yo has new bf, i have known her bf’s foster mom my entire life, “oh you know HER?” Like, yes child, i’ve known her twice as long as you’ve been alive, she used to cut my hair and a year ago i fixed her microwave. I KNOW her.
Kinda revealing how little they think you know. Nah, i know all

also VERY MUCH looking forward to the day she is ready for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Its spooky-scary, features a tough but feminine no-nonsense broad IN CHARGE.

She doesn’t have enough experience to know but she likes spooky/scary, Matilda, and I like for her to see smart/strong/capable women/girls/ladies.

Recently saw her first Harry Potter movie (from the library, and fuck JKR) and I made sure to remind her repeatedly that Hermione was the most capable:)

Care to recommend one in particular? For this child who calls you “the girl who makes her own pancakes?”
October 4, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Awesome, thank you!

i see you’re assuming a righteous nation won’t invade and hold the tribunals for us…

I have not yet given up that hope.

Do you have an opinion on Gore Vidal’s Julian? I assume we’re talking about the same dude…

The unmasked guy is gushing with loser energy, i hope he’s famous now.

I really liked Bully by Jim Schutze. The movie was also pretty good.
