That thing nobody understands about you. That book that explains it. Match me up.
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR)
The Critique of Pure Reason.
Incy wincy spider
It’s the Myth of Sisyphus for the under-fives.
One must imagine incy, not wincy
Realm of the elderlings, I mess my own life up through anxiety and overthinking, reading about fitz doing it makes me feel better about myself
Gentleman bastards, spurts of false confidence carry me through my days lol
Not as much a book, but the documentary Dominion. If someone can watch that and not understand reasons for going vegan if not choosing to do so themselves, I seriously question their moral compass.
The best part about being vegan is I’ll never have to watch that doco lol
Same. I went vegan before watching it. Tried doing so and only made it about 15 min in. So hard to watch.
Killed by a Traffic Engineer by Wes Marshall.
“Crime and Punishment”. Doing something amoral only to find out I have morals.
Brothers Karamazov is way better.
It’s all subjective. I really liked that one too but C&P hit me harder.
I know everything I need to know just from the titles mate
Gustave Doré- Illustrations for the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Read the Divine Comedy at like 12, and loved it. What I liked the most were the illustrations, they made a profound impact in me; and are probably the first artistic work I came to by myself that truly shaped me as a person.

These are beautiful. They’re what I want to draw when I grow up.
Same, still a work in progress

Anything by Douglas Adams, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, music history textbooks, Samurai Jack slash fiction, public restroom graffiti, HVAC technical manuals, and the comment sections on porn sites.
Iceberg Slim [aka Robert Beck] was widely read in the Black community and almost completely unknown outside of it. He inspired many Black artists, and both Ice-T and Ice Cube named themselves in his honor.
Such a wonderful inspiration to his community - gotta keep them hoes in line!
At least he wasn’t a slave owner like Washington and Jefferson.
I would personally suggest using none of the three as role models
I got a huge laugh out of the idea of you actually having the nerve to say that you Ice-T or Ice Cube, or saying anything bad about Washington to one of the people who worship him.
Actually imagining you outside, touching grass was pretty funny.
You do you pimp guy
And you keep on amusing me by pretending to be an adult.
Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle might not explain it, but could add valuable context.
“They’re not rocks Marie!!”
…ok, maybe some of them are, but they’re really cool!
