"This book has been slow going, but it is rich and fascinating. It is nice to linger on the pages. Evans-Pritchard has up to this point described the Nuer's esteem and reliance on cattle, how their cattle rearing occurred in an arid environment shaped by the monsoon cycle; and he has theorized how their material circumstances shape their ideas of time and space." — Mar 23, 2026 09:12AM

"So I've decided that I want to obtain a BA in English without going to school again. I've created a list of 120 books that are more or less representative of the history of English literature. First book? The King James Version of the Bible (no Apocrypha ;_;). I just got through Genesis (pretty stories!), Exodus (pretty story then rules), and Leviticus (just rules). Wish me luck!" — Feb 18, 2026 03:15PM

“Hero knew that lust was one of the time-honored antidotes to sorrow, but that had never been her relationship to sex. Whatever sorrows lived in her heart were either too superficial to need such soothing, or too burrowed-in and settled to be eased out by something as mundane as coming for the fourth or fifth time against Rosalyn's fingers in the kitchen late at night when the restaurant was long closed; Rosalyn multitasking by leaving eggs and longanisa frying in an oily pan while grinding into Hero's lap, hand down her unzipped jeans, until Hero unclenched her teeth from Rosalyn's ear and said, Something's, uh, burning, and Rosalyn cursed and hopped off.”

“You have noticed that the truth comes into this world with two faces. One is sad with suffering, and the other laughs; but it is the same face, laughing or weeping. When people are already in despair, maybe the laughing face is better for them; and when they feel too good and are too sure of being safe, maybe the weeping face is better for them to see.”
