You’re a shop keeper in the Wild West. A traveler recently purchased a few goods and pays you in crisp 21st century bills. You respond with “You too huh?” and give him his change.

1. The Road by Cormac McCarthy, because nihilism is the only cure for my boredom. Finished it around 5 days ago.

2. Currently reading Metro 2033, because I clearly have a type. Hopeless apocalypses are just better than any other setting.

3. Coraline or American Psycho, keep variety.

4. Don’t know what a TBR is, so-

5. Probably Harry Potter, i’ll be honest.

6. I have no idea, i’d have to label Harry Potter because it’s so close to my heart.

7. Coraline and Metro 2033.

8. Hardcover is such a showoff and I love it, but paperback is so easy to buy and work with.

9. Any are fine, got to be honest.

10. I grew up with fantasy but recently i’ve gravitated to Sci-fi.

11. Modern Classics

12. Neither.

13. Divergent probably, weren’t good to begin with if i’m honest but still.

14. Lord of the Rings, cuts out the most useless part of the book.

15. Between any Harry Potter book or any Roald Dahl book, since they were my childhood.

16. Lord of the Flies, learn from others mistakes; Fight Club, just want to read it to be honest; Don Quixote, just want to read it.

17. Limbo, sounds cool and like libro.

18. I’ve never read a book and thought the protagonist was like me.

19. Any book character really.

20. Don’t tie yourself to any book, read throughout the year, break the cycle.

21. You want to choose your books not on it’s merit? Ew

22. Do not care, read how you want. I can’t e-read since I procrastinate.

23. I’ve used Amazon a few times.

24. Bookshop, it’s too cosy.

25. Only books i’ve read recently are tragic and set in a bleak future, so none.

26. None. I need some more heartwarming stories.

27. Better writing, good plot and idea is great but without a good storyteller it falls so flat it hurts.

28. No idea. More than i’d think, but not as many as i’d like.

29. In a gradient.

30. Currently no one, I focus on the product and not it’s maker.

31. Maybe Neil Gaiman but that’s pushing it.

32. J.K. Rowling for the books.

33. Dmitry Glukhovsky off the top of my head.

34. No.

35. Look, i’m gonna be real, I’ve got bad memory don’t do this to me.

36. Lord of the Rings.

37. I don’t know, but enough to fill it up.

38. English.

39. Fantastic Mr Fox.

40. Hunger Games, kind of.

41. Want one, but couldn’t use it.

42. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

43. One at a time, brain go numb.

44. I’ve gotten into a habit of it recently. I’ll usually put on new albums or ambience, like soundtracks for games and films.

45. If I eat when I read, I won’t read; unless for some reason it’s an apple.

46. Coffee currently.

47. Buy a new book.

48. In bed or outside.

49. Nighttime, it’s like dream fuel.

50. It’s just a habit i’ve picked up.

If I could live as synth I’d drop everything and take it. Being all wavy and synthy, no care in the world. Wild synths everywhere, chasing each other though the sprawling glades of frequency. That’s my heaven and no one with better judgement can tell me otherwise.

I know when we talk about ~men writing women~ we usually focus on the “she breasted boobily” variety but can we just acknowledge that in The Sound of Music, a mother abbess sends one of her young, naive charges to go and work for a rich, single older man and when said young naif flees back to the abbey and refuses to speak to anyone about what happened to her except to say “I can’t face him again”, the abbess’ first reaction is “are you in ~love~ with him?” when any woman’s knee-jerk reaction would be “GIRL WHAT TF DID HE DO AND SHOULD I CALL THE POLICE”
