The show is about how lesbians are better than men. How did you think it was gonna end for crying out loud. Dead men, thats how. Anyway the video game sequel isnt even canon. It could end differently just as sure as star wars didnt follow the EU. Last edited by Vladimir_Kyrilytch; 01-25-2023 at 10:45 AM.. |

So you went into a thread about a show or game you never saw to bitch about wokeness. And in the meantime just annoyed a bunch of people who genuinely enjoy it. Yeah. That's pretty on brand for you. |

I didnt know that Anna K threw herself in front of a train at all. That is Tolstoy. So we all spoiled something for ourselves here. What matters is the friends we met along the way.

Jenson you were right about the cardboard in Winesburg. Come to realize that most all of my leather bound books have cardboard in them. The one exception is the Holy Bible.

Hey Twisted Chief, you ever really read any Tolstoy?
Here's something about Anna Karenina you didn't know. So while Dostoevsky was in prison, a very old school very Russian version of a temporary holding cell, awaiting execution for his participation in the Petroshevsky Circle, there was one thing that tormented as much as other things. It was a tormented time as you can imagine. But it pissed him off that Tolstoy was gonna go down more famous for him, for having written better works than him. It really did. He said Tolstoy ripped him off in the first place with Anna K and he could 3-bet the sun of a bitch if he could live. Well it took some time in Siberia at a penal colony but he sure did put Tolstoy to shame, didn't he? He did. Love that about Fyoder. |

I just read Cat in the Hat.
Very difficult read.

Years ago I proudly (and honestly) read half of Anna Karenina, Brothers Karamazov, and War and Peace. I just didn't have the grit to make it through the second half of any of them. But I liked them in that order.
Now I read so much for work that the thought of reading for pleasure is so very distant. My favorite novel fwiw is A Hundred Years of Solitude followed by a bunch of John Irving stuff. |

It is possible that Gogol is the best of the Russians. Dead Souls, believe it or not, is laugh out loud funny. I will check out 100 years of solitude. |
