I blinked and suddenly nothing I thought I knew is true and everyone is dead???? (not everyone. but wtf???? is happening????)

A Tribe Called Quest mentioned?! Okay Lisa Jewell!

Getting worried the plot isn't going to speed up... the concept is cool but from the reviews I read before starting I worry it won't get any more intense. but i'm only 22% in so I am holding out hope

roll credits (mostly)

i've already lost the game twice. now you have too.

okay past participle "lain"

"tastes like grief" is such a fascinating and intriguing way to describe a kiss, watch me study this format and put it in my writing

"Early on O'Brien recognized the 'Tim O'Brien' narrating persona of 'If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box Me Up and Ship Me Home' as just that's A persona." ... "The schism of one's paper selves will become part of the narrative fabric of 'The Things They Carried', a work of fiction O'Brien ... believes expresses his first war far better than [a 'fairly honest' memoir or any nonfiction could].

trench foot mentioned

what do you know about Harvard campus's bruhaha in 1971-1972

roll credits

"By writing a 'Tim O'Brien' character into 'The Things They Carried', O'Brien authentically captures his ongoing relationship to himself and his experience of war"

have I mentioned that I love Tim O'Brien? just want to make sure we're all on the same page

"The unnamed Tim O'Brien character"

Learning the inspiration for one of, in my opinion, the best chapters in TTTC is yet again fascinating. The truth versus how O'Brien portrayed it for us. He's done it again!

(Chapter: "In The Field", where Kiowa drowns in the shit field. (written here as "drown in a village's common outdoor latrine area". pretty different than "shit field")
