psh. the art form of the 18th century was the poem; the 19th century's was the novel; the 20th century's was the film.

The 21st century is the century of video game kino. I'm taking a break from playing a highly kino Overwatch match to make this point. You are interrupting art,

just read this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3398414-sex-trafficking
a movie called Trafficked was just made based on it.
anyone who has heard about pizzagate and wants to hear the facts about human trafficking from a reporter who has interviewed more than 200 victims should check it out.

Well, I like all tons of literature.

I recently finished reading the 'Timarion' of the 12th century, of pseudo-Lucian. I just purchased 'De Administrando Imperio', The Alexiad, and the short stories of a 20th century Spanish writer last week.

I guess my tastes in literature are all over the place. I like Medieval literature, but also sci-fi, short stories, novels - I also like poetry.

Today I read My Friend Dahmer in one sitting. (It's a graphic novel so you can do it in like 2.5 hours)

I've been finishing the last of 3 books by Nadia Bolz Weber, and after spending so much time on /pol/ I've decided to try to rebalance myself with the Autobiography of Malcolm X since I've always been interested in him any way.

Christianity has always interested me and mysticism and the occult has always been a guilty pleasure, but neither of them made enough sense for me to take them seriously. This book is bringing it all together for me in that regard and it's honestly fucking me up.

It should be noted that A.) this is not about hippy dippy card reading, although the word magic is getting thrown around a lot and i'll be starting the chapter about it next and B.) The afterword for this was written by a fucking cardinal, specifically one of the Church's greatest theologians in the 20th century and one of Pope Benedict XXVI's closest allies, Hans Urs von Balthasar.

It's...odd

This was the last book I completed. Even if you're not interested having a child ever, it's still nice to read about the process.

Now, I am reading Fast Food Nation.

I saw J. K. Rowling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?" but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.

The guy at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear him, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When he took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped him and told him to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After he scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting him by yawning really loudly.

Poor kids. No mother / father (either one) will fuck them up.

It varies, a lot of these stories had a mother or father influence outside the same-sex couples household.

Call it cliche, but I love poetry. I'm currently reading Robert Frost and a collection of Shakespeare's sonnets.

There's something very comfy about reading the English language (or any language) twisted around in unconventional ways.

It's a nice, quick read. They break the book into ways couples adopt/raise kids.

They book is mostly stories of adults going through the process. The struggles, positives, and results of it all. I believe it is under 200 pages. It's $10 on the Kindle store.
