the fuck is this books obsession with spitting? every single page "dry spit" whatever that's supposed to be, seems to be the main character. seems like the kid is always hyper salivating and can't talk before ridding his mouth of said "dry" spit

wrong, i drove forklifts in a warehouse that was so dusty you'd come home, blow your nose and the snot would be pitch black. I didn't feel the need to spit every 5 minutes

just to spit out all the dust that you can. you can't just drink water to wash it off - you will feel like you drink a bit of mud. you have to spit, then "rinse" your mouth and only then you can drink.
Haven't read the book tho

Just finished it. Trying to work out the ending. The epilogue in particular is very out there. But I'm more confused with the fact that McCarthy decided to end the book with a performing bear getting shot and the Kid fucking some (underage?) prostitute.

Tons of practice. DFW wrote for hours every day, long hand style on legal pads and shit. If you really loved writing enough you would just do it all the time. I'm not trying to talk shit on your or anything here either, I mean some people are just so driven and love writing [or whatever skill you can think of] they will gladly do it for hours each day. Kinda like how I am a journeyman level 4chan browser by now, I'm confident I have 8000+ hours browsing and shitposting.

While you are sculpting your body, an object with a lifespan of ~60 more years left, with only about 10-20 of those years being in your physical prime, I am sculpting my mind, and forming ideas that will transcend your body for eons. Being hyper/fit/ is the most retarded, vain, faggot shit you could do. Healthy body = healthy mind, anything more is maxing a stat that is inherently nerfed, human intelligence is what you should be boosting.
