noncedo-culli

I love the 1995 Scarlet Letter movie, but it's not remotely similar to the book.

The parent who's with them. If you're worried about what your kid's reading then just check their books before they check out.

The govt in the Hunger Games is not communist; it's very obviously a critique of capitalism and the overconsumption and huge class differences that come along with it.

Pneumatic. Forgot the dude's name but I think we all know who it is.

If it's obviously marked as a different edition then that's fine. My grandparents rewrote my great-grandfather's entire book series to make it more modern since it's mainly for kids and teens.

The Myth of Sisyphus

A Thesaurus that I don't think I've ever opened, and a couple very strange religious-y + conservative vibe self-help books.

Candide. Don't know that it says anything about how good of a partner they'd be, but at least it says that they're fun to talk to.

On The Road. The best description I ever saw of the prose was that it's the written equivalent of improv jazz. The scene where they're sleeping in jungle and Sal(?) is on top of the car is particularly beautiful imo; it's so descriptive and it raises up something kind of gross and unpleasant and turns it into an almost spiritual experience.

I think paperbacks are more durable since the cover can't really fall off as easily.

Fact-check when a claim seems questionable and when it's something that you know the author is biased on.
