But Fitzgerald says that there is another type of cracking, with an entirely different segmentarity. Instead of great breaks, these are microcracks, as in a dish; they are much more subtle and supple, and occur when things are going well on the other side.
I wonder if that's how "we've been married for 3 decades and nothing is wrong but i don't love you any more" happens.
She is a housewife—young, healthy, blissfully happy. He is an actor—charismatic and ambitious. The spacious, …
i saw someone in Mad Men reading Rosemary's Baby and my first thought was "u aren't better than me fictional character..." so now i must read it to prove that true.

I finished it! If I'm being honest, I kind of lost the ability to follow the story of the audiobook pretty quickly. It's all sort of espionage oriented nonsense, and double and triple and quadruple (and quintuple and sextuple) agents and such.
The book is pretty nonsense. It makes me think of Alice in Wonderland or Kafka's "The Trial"

Randomly choose to read this Lem book. It's a big satire of espionage and not the "high-brow" sci-fi i am familar with from Lem. Even so, it is amusing as heck. It's very much Kafka's The Trial and also Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Started and finished today. It's a relatively short book about queerness in non-human animals. I like the informational content of the book but the tone of it kind of turned me off. It tried to be funny a lot in a way that didn't really connect with me.
One of the more interesting distinctions that the book drew that I hadn't really considered was social monogamy vs genetic monogamy. Social monogamy is when a couple of organisms are exclusively, socially paired. Genetic monogamy is when a couple of organisms have offspring that are exclusively theirs genetically. These two concepts are very different and even animals that are socially monogamous aren't necessarily genetically monogamous.
Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The novel is notable …
Lolita's a wild book. It's deeply disturbing throughout though. It's also hard for me to believe that Humbert thinks his relationship with Lolita is romantic rather than exploitative just because of how forceful and coercive the whole thing is. I'm not bothered by having read it, but also don't necessarily recommend it.

The chapter authors in this book be like "I know that I'm writing about the 6th plateau, but have you heard of plateau 3?"

Reading 2 guide books to A Thousand Plateaus really slows down progress. I subtly dropped this one like half a year ago, but decided to go back to it when I found plateau 7 (faciality) especially confusing, so now i'm reading a lot of chapters to try to catch up to where I am in ATP.
I think that if you're reading A Thousand Plateaus, it's probably to just read the Brent Adkins guide and consult this guide if you're especially confused. I'm not going to do that though because I am a perfectionist and partially reading a book would stick with me.
Next book in my summer binge. I think I'm on my 4th book in 3 days :3
@gray17@mastodon.social yeah the main reason i listened to this was because my partner was really into his spider books and also liked this one quite a bit. may get around to that series in the future.
Hot dogs. Poor people created them. Rich people found a way to charge fifteen dollars …
very alright book. i know jamie loftus from being a regular guest on Behind the Bastards. She's very cool. That being said I'm not all that interested in hot dogs or their history so i think i was ready for this book to end before it was over.

still have about 30 minutes of listening time left but marking it complete now. It's a perfectly fine book, but probably not something that I'm going to think about much after finishing it.
