I'm only a quarter in but besides being comfy at worst and entertaining at best I don't understand the fuzz about this book. Not saying is bad or anything but as for now it just seems like a collected group of stories about life in Ireland. I'll keep y'all in touch.

pay attention to the word choice and interplay between the short stories. For example, the first paragraph of The Sisters makes specific mention of the word "paralysis," and the following two stories have a critical moment where the main character is paralyzed by an emotion. The Boarding House is about an imminent marriage to save propriety, and the following story A Little Cloud is about the restlessness and dissatisfaction a guy feels about domestic life. The story also follows a basic arc of young protagonists to old, and the first and last stories essentially have interchangeable titles.

Hey, I'm thinking about getting Botany of Desire for my dad because he's really into the topic of the book - but from what I read about it, it seems kind of written for plebs and like it's only scratching the surface with a few popular stories every child already knows (Appleseed guy, tulip mania, omg drugs, omg we can make potatoes bigger now).
Is it actually worthwhile nonfiction for someone who already knows this stuff? I trust 4chan more than reviewers who are astonished by fucking everything.

I like it. Heinlein's commentary on both political development and gender relationships feels organic and natural, and he perfectly illustrates the tone and setting of Luna (I had the idea that Man was speaking with a Russian accent even in the first few sentences, for example)

Sinceramente esperava mais, mas continua sendo um bom livro, suas descrições e amor à natureza, as introspecções e discussões de Werther (principalmente sobre a paixão à Carlota e o mau humor) são bem interessantes.

these threads are so fucking stupid. they spark zero conversation about literature. half the people lie about their age and location. the other half lie about the book they're reading, because they're actually reading something that isn't in the "/lit/ approved" circle jerk list.

Apparently the woman who edited the ghost story book wrote that Time Traveler's Wife book. I always wondered if I was missing out by not reading that, and now after reading her ghost story I have to say that I was not missing shit. She sucks.
