This character is not even an adult yet, and this is apparently her personality. Waldo had to have been molested as a kid because every single teenage girl described like this has always been a slutty train wreck.
There's a lot of bad recommendations but some really good stuff. It's okay if you're a woman and can't enjoy masculine books. I wouldn't read Anne Rice for the same reasons.
Yeah, I've noticed that the only really "rare" Haffner books are the first 2 Leigh Brackett books and the John Thunstone collection. Everything else seems to be some flavor of "rare, but who the fuck buys this aside from an aging demographic". Turns out Jack Williamson and Edmond Hamilton and Henry Kuttner have a lot of respect, but it seems there's a shrinking number of people who'd be willing to pop $100 for a volume on the used market.Their stuff is great, but they can and will start taking preorders a decade before their books are ready to ship.
Yeah, come join it. There's a lot of the "stalwarts" and "classics", but feel free to drop anything.
I have my own particular brand of pickyness when it comes to reading. I love it, but some things I just can't do. The book club thread tends to recommend things I would never read for pleasure, even though a lot of people find them entertaining. I guess you could say I'm a hipster
For example Dune, Battleship Troopers, and a lot of classic horror/scifi makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I couldn't even finish LOTR because it is too similar to Dickens. I don't really care about the politics and backstory of your made up world, kill shit and learn magic and I am happy, I am probably part of the problem.
They're famous but how many people have read them? They're more memes than books people search out and read.
I mean, there's also just the fact that a lot of people seem to want to get down to read, but don't really know where to go or what's worthwhile, so a "meme" book works. Well, it's not a meme in the negative sense. It's just incredibly famous.
Apparently, the person she sucked off is her husband.
Whoa, where are all these books about detectives and space men having sex with hot ladies at? I go to a Barnes and Noble and all I see is erotic fiction about women getting gang raped by platypi who are also eccentric billionaires and also their uncles. Where's the Xenofucker men section?
I never ever want to hear women complain about sexualization of their gender ever again. They are so mentally fried. She literally just has to change it to 18 to make it not as bad.
"It's only okay when WE do it!"
"Serious Literature" with leather clad dominatrixes wielding their pain kink dildos. Definitely not any weirder than the shit that lady who customizes her porn books writes.
Yes, and her Tiktok rant where she said it's badly written on purpose because the protagonist is autistic was hilarious. If you ask me she's commiting stolen valor against real autists because every word out of her mouth about her book is her bragging about being some kind of boss babe with a huge team for her shitty, heavily marketed on Tiktok novel.
Well as a man, I do read quite a lot, but I don't remotely read what women my age are into. I'm not into RPG gaming, but I've noticed that both fiction and nonfiction works alike, the kinds of things men read women would find repulsive, so it's not like they can easily make female friends who are into this hobby.
This woman obviously wasn't smart enough to make it a self-aware parody (which sucks, that sounds like a good trolling idea). She obviously has read her share of fanfiction to know how autistic women write, but she has also exposed herself as being plainly among them as one of those thin-skinned "don't like, don't read" types who never took criticism and critique well.
I mean, there's still stuff for dudes, but it's an uphill battle to look for stuff past the usual classics (Homer, Dumas, London, Conrad), comics (older ones), Lord of the Rings, and genre fiction classics (if you're lucky, that Barnes & Noble has some Dashiell Hammett, Robert Heinlein, Michael Moorcock, and/or Robert E. Howard). Can't forget the James Patterson, Clive Cussler, and related mass market paperback fiction made for the boomers.
Surprise surprise, a decade plus of excessive wringing of hands and clutching of pearls about age gaps has backfired and made young women really horny for age gaps. Surely no one could have seen this coming.
Lois McMaster Bujold has a whole book where the romantic arc is between a 36 year old man and a 17/18 year old girl, though in all fairness such age gaps weren't unknown in medieval times, especially among nobility (the book is The Curse of Chalion, it's actually quite good).
So many of these Booktubers and drama channels just copy each other on what dramas to report on, often citing each others videos as where they get their information from. There's no investigative drive or sense they are actually active in or reporting on booktok goings-on just watching more popular channels report it first and then rushing to repeat the exact same points (same can be said of most 'drama' channels or lolcow channels).
