First sentence of another paper: "Even though I have never been to Rigatoni's Italian Restraint..."

Luckily, the ADA does not apply to individuals not employed by the establishment, so we should all feel free to loudly mock those that insist on bringing animals into restaurants. I mean, unless that would be a civil rights violation, in which case I would never...

Someone bought my book in the past month (I know because I got my first $0.35 royalty in almost 9 months). Was it an RMer?

I started reading The Art of Fielding last night and will probably finish it in the next few days; it's a quick read.

I bought it like a year ago. I hope you spent my .35c on something worthwhile.

Anyone read Station 11?

I'm almost done with the Rabbit novels. They have changed my life. Everyone should read them at some point.

Influx by Daniel Suarez

Have you read any other Suarez?

Anybody around here read Camus's The Fall? Any opinions on it one way or the other?

I think I own a copy. Does that count as having read it?

Nowhere near as memorable as The Plague or The Stranger. But to be fair, I've only read The Fall once (The Plague at least twice, The Stranger close to ten times now). If you haven't read those, they're better starting points for Camus.

4/5 stars for The Art of Fielding. An enjoyable read, but I wish it delved deeper into some of its more troubling themes.

Yeah, Daemon and Freedom. This one didn't frighten me as much.

The Stranger is one of my favourite books ever, on the other hand, I thought The Myth of Sisyphus was terrible. The Plague is on my shelf.

Welp, looks like I'll start my relationship with Camus with The Stranger. Thanks, team.
