Those are the only two I’ve read, but it’s been a long time.

The other one I've read is "Avenue of Mysteries" and while ok, didn't leave an impact like those two did.

You are very dedicated and intelligent.

Coming off Skippy Dies, which is 660 pages, I was a bit hesitant to pick up something long (not a penis) again. But I don't think I'll have problems with it. Skippy Dies actually read pretty quickly, I just went a few weeks here and there barely picking it up.

Thanks, I guess I like holding and staring at long things.

How’d you feel about Skippy Dies?

I enjoyed The Bee Sting…also 600+ pages.

Me too hehe.

I really enjoyed it overall. At times I felt like the transitions plot line to plot line were off or felt uneven, and didn't love how some of the characters were handled. I've always had an affinity for works set in schools so that was an instant draw. The third section had some devastating stuff. I'm not a movie/book/tv crier generally but felt close to tearing up.

Finally got around to reading this. Incredible how recent we are in history to an American caste system.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Ask ChatGPT to craft you One Hundred Hands of Darkness. Or The Left Hand of Solitude. Maybe both.
ChatGPT and I are not on speaking terms.
