My brother said he will write one more bad review of the lawyer in light of learning from XH that he was actually sharing confidential info about me to XH’s Lawyer!

if I promised to stop thinking about it after that .

More gruesome. You can’t form too many attachments to the characters- at least I can’t- so it doesn’t seem tragic.

^Definitely not my kind of books, then.

Characters can and do die in my books, but not gruesomely.

Stephen King is like Stephen King, I don't know another way to word it, his books are horror genre and are quite intense with heavy themes.

Demon possession, torture in Desperation
Woman breaks down in Gerald's Game over abuse
Isolation leads to insanity in The Shining

And that is like a very small level of messed up-ness from him. Stephen King is horror basically, him and David Lynch both are horror to the core.

Charles Dickens for me. I can’t deal with the horror genre, not even a simple Halloween story for kids. :?

I'm also more of a Charles Dickens fan than a horror fan. I love Charles Dickens.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Whichever I read most recently

Recently was Hard Times and although it is a bit of a caricature or over theatrical at times it reminds me of my life recently and ppl I know so right now it’s that

I'm currently reading "The Mountain Between Us"
I didn't expect it to be a study on love, thought it would be more gritty.

And...

I really don't like it when novels have two parallel storylines going.
I tend to read one and skip over the other.

How do we nuke it?


Arresting everyone and building a wall might be a good idea also :mrgreen:

But to simplify what I want is in short I would like some justice down here. People MKUltra it and do all kinds of wicked crap and everyone turns a blind eye? Why? If everyone is being spied on then why can't we knock down the doors to those that are corrupt in high places? The law shouldn't discriminate based on budget, nothing is too big to fail, no one is outside the law. Justice for the rich and justice for the poor is what I want.

So nuking it to hell would be justice actually, just that one word.
