Lost Mine of Phandelver is a really good starter adventure if you want to DM. If you want to be a player, read the Player's Basic Rules to get an easy start. Then after a bit, read through the Player's Handbook. They're all in that link.

If you haven't even kissed then you need to get a fucking grip and consider that you're probably the only one who considers you a couple.

Either way, you need to be a fucking adult and have a conversation with her because that's not even close to normal.

The former is really great. Salinger superbly writes Buddy's account in "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters." Although, "Seymour an Introduction" is rather challenging to read. I may have to reread it, honestly. For anyone who is unfamiliar, this novella's format is akin to "Franny and Zooey."

For all my life, sadly, I've been putting off reading the latter. I've heard enough about it, even, to discourse the major biblical tales, as if I had actually read it before. Simply put, it's the greatest book I've ever read-- and I'm only in Genesis.

>Brand New World
I'm just finished the prologue, about to start Part 1. Despite being indeed a happy world(like the spanish title), in a way, the explanation for how things are and how they got there seems so utterly bullshit and bizarre, that I ended up questioning myself why do I keep reading dystopian books if I don't like their style. I'll probably finish it just to say I did, either way.

The book can be really confusing at times, so much that i read the chapter summaries after each chapter. (thank god they're only a few pages long). After reading the chapter summaries for example about 40-80% of the information is new. To those who have read this book can you relate? or am i just too stupid to understand quality literature?

leskov's enchanted wanderer
once, i was selling yellow wax, pretending it to be crack cocaine in rockford illinois with a black man as my sidekick. his name was Lil Larry. anyhow, one night we found some 'cluckers' (crackheads) and offered them some rock. They were interested, a man and woman, both middle aged, surprisingly fat. The man nodded at her hideous partner, and she offered to exchange it for sucking his cock. Lil Larry obliged, allowing her to blow him in the back seat of my buick century. they shortly left and went behind a house, to do god knows what, and he returned, telling me to leave quickly, but not too quickly. I did.

The first time i've read Camus. Maybe should've started with The Stranger. Anyway, the book feels a bit constricting/nauseating in that it's just him talking all the time. Can't really relate to the main character that well. Sort of enjoying it but feel like im missing some points. Probably the hardest book i've read in a while in terms of content.

Graduated in nanoscience
Reading 2 books: Gravity's Rainbow (I really like it, especially how it's slowly shaping up to be an interesting narrative, the almost schizophrenic prose, and all the nifty little references. Also the humour.) and Earthsea (Like it as well, Leguin knows how to wield her archetypes).

I have two cats, both of whom needed the vet this week, so now I also have no money.

Rereading Castle in the Air (sequel to Howl's Moving Castle) by Diana Wynne Jones. I'm enjoying it more on the second reading than I did on the first. I'm also making my way through Titus Groan, but I'm going slow because the prose is just so much fun to read.

I'm training to be a classical pianist and also create contemporary music and i feel exactly the same way. I just wish some people would shut the fuck up about ideas that they have hardly thought about. Brian Eno made a recent post, obviously about Trump, and in the middle of his rant he wrote "people are rethinking what democracy means, what society means and what we need to do to make them work again." It's telling that he believes the majority of the population is thinking at all.

The Sound and the Fury
I just finished the Benjy chapter. I knew about the book before I began, so I had an idea what to expect. It's good, but I honestly feel like this chapter could have been executed much better in some ways. Maybe I'll feel differently looking back on it once I've finished the book (and I'll probably re-read it very soon, so I'll see how I feel then, too), but although I do like it so far, I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would.

people have been saying that for as long as democracy has been around. democracy is just about thinking what democracy should be. pure nihilism

Cervantes published his first book when he was 38, the first part of Don Quijote when he was 58
Tolstoy published War and Peace when he was 41
Flaubert published his first novel (Bovary) when he was 36
Baudelaire too published Flowers of Evil when he was 36
Truly revolutionary art is so absurdly rare that you might've simply said that you're going to kill yourself when you're 30.
