You're not proud of what you're doing right now, are you?
Wolfgang Herrendorf book is pretty great for a desert adventure with an amnesiac, commune murder mystery, and vacation drama.
I looked up his name on here and found a bunch of Germans.

People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to

I just got an ad for an app that gives kids age-appropriate versions of classic novels. It is clearly AI garbage but now I’m desperate to read the elementary versions of these books. Do you think they review any of the text before slapping it on there?
