Everyone talks about books "changing their lives",

War and Peace started me down a long road of cracking Freemason jokes

They're really rudimentary. Often when I see their symbol on a number of local government buildings I'll comment that it's nice to know that they're watching us so intently.

I also tend to arbitrarily tie Masonic conspiracies and their ancient magics to any ailment or issue I feel is being excessively griped about. I often explore this absurd comment in a particularly targeted way to make it seem like the entirety of their extensive organization was made specifically to get Chili's plumbing messed up so that we were all forced to go to Denny's.

In retrospect it might sound like schizophrenia to anyone who doesn't see them as doddering old money with a kink for arranging buildings in certain old world shapes.

Great post!!

I've found this happens all the time, but not typically on such a long-term scale... I mean, your life-long habit of jewelry wearing sounds like the definition of a "life-changing" literay expirence to me. ^_^

But I get what you mean, something subtle? I'm often affected by the book I'm reading in subtle ways. After reading Limits of Vision, washing the dishes has never been the same. I've also come to see the daily dirtying/disorganization of my house as a personal attack aganit me, by some evil fource. (One of the only books I hated while reading, but read through anyway [it was short], and came to remember fondly.)

I will also pick up mannerisms and sayings of some of my favorite characters - but just for play. They never stick. I just like to imagine what a certain character would do in a situation that I'm experiencing.

If that counts, Story of the Eye gave me a piss fetish and the fantasy of being strangled to death by a girl.

Mmmm. I don't know if that counts. I mean, discovering a kink is just finding something that was already there, right? And who doesn't want to be strangled to death by a girl, honestly.

Why are you doing this

>>9003204
It's not explicit in the book The Haunting of Hill House, but is in one of the early movies

Willam S. Burroughs Naked Lunch made me want to get my asshole licked.

You have a certain je ne sais quoi that I like, anon

Ever since i read Metro 2033, i evaluate the metro systems of cities in terms of chance of survival of the inhabitants. And i imagine how life would be in certain stations i come across.

well, which ones are the safest?

When I was a kid I read this series the Lost Years of Merlin, which if I remember correctly was pretty good for YA. Anyways, all the characters had this pain between their shoulder blades, and in the last book it's revealed that they used to have wings before they lost them through evolution or something. So now whenever I have back pain my mind jumps to the idea that it's residual pain from wings.

Also, I read the His Dark Materials series as a kid, and whenever I pick up an especially sharp looking knife I try to tear a hole in reality like the subtle knife.

that's really weird
