Why not? There’s nothing wrong with fun. You don’t have to exclusively read “high” literature. We’ve got to unwind sometimes, right?

Lets say you have a refined taste 😉 sometimes what’s most highly rated is boring stuff intended for the mass audience. For example, I stopped watching USA movies and very rarely see a USA series because I don’t enjoy it at all. It has great reviews, but doesn’t interest me, and that’s ok. I’d say that people who like it have a bad taste, and they would say I have a bad taste. Lets just say we have different interests 😅
Exactly! Tastes differ. But that makes me vary of recommendations and I end up second guessing every 5 star review. Who knows how many good books I passed up 😅
Good to know, thanks. Maybe we should check in in about 10 years when she gets more writing experience. Or maybe it’s just not our cup of tea.
What do you think about Jemisin? I’ve read the first two books of her Broken Earth trilogy, and I quit half through the third book. For me, the first one was great, second was meh and third one so bad I wasn’t even interested in how it ends. I think she did a very good job in the beginning with setting up the world and its mysteries, but revealed too much too fast, so when we came to the third book there was almost nothing of interest left.
I didn’t expect to see “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain” here. I’m currently reading it and I’m really enjoy all those Russian short stories, but also the commentary on those stories is also pretty great. As someone who doesn’t have a literary background it’s nice to see how it’s done.
So he’s the guy. Ok, I’m interested in what he has to say. Before we had the word it was just an uneasy feeling that everything keeps getting worse. Now it’s much easier to think about the unstoppable enshittification march big companies insist on.
The EU regulators have many flaws but news like this gives me some hope
