30+ solo hours of driving this week call for the big guns (Jim Dale audiobooks)

“You can’t just take a woman to a flea market and expect her not to get ideas”

Can’t stop won’t stop

“On our third date Adam and I watched The Muppet Movie. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen him cry. The first time was that day during “The Rainbow Connection”.
‘This happens every time’, he said. This was hot to me.”

“If the el cheapo bread you eat as a staple is so stripped of nutrients that you end up with a depressed immune system, leading to more sick days and being forced to down pricey supplements, it’s not really cheap bread anymore is it?”

“The basic blueprint for modern first-world living is normalized hyper-abundance and hyper-stimulation, punctuated by desperate attempts at escape when the fallout becomes too distressing.”

This read is dedicated to every Christian man between the ages of 20-40 I have ever met

Can’t wait to secretly read this on my phone on Tuesday and Wednesday

Audiobook

The exact edition I found in the holiday park kitchen is not available on Goodreads so we’re going with this one

THE audiobook for a 5 hour drive + 3 extra hours round trip because that’s how far you have to drive to get the earwax that is completely blocking your hearing removed

Great audiobook to listen to on a plane while
playing solitaire on the seat back entertainment

“refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that crap they didn’t really want anyway such as refrigerators, TV sets, cars, at least new fancy cars, certain hair oils and deodorants and general junk….. a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume”

Jack Kerouac would hate TikTok shop and he’s right

I live for comedian audiobooks at this point

CG book club read #1!

“In contrast to the expectations of Ancient Rome, why Christianity sought to suggest was that beauty might be found not in the monumentally perfect, but in the cracks, the broken, the unlikely.”

Highly recommend for the next time you have to drive across the entire state of Pennsylvania

Lenticular: “shaped like a lense”

“Soften or become softened by soaking in a liquid”

Audiobook

“Hagiography”: embellished legends that surround saints and historical figures

“With acts like Beirut sounding more like Neutral Milk Youth Hostel”
Has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard read aloud.

I would like to thank this book for teaching me a new word!
“Apophatic”: describing something by what it is not”

Audio book!

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH

Didn’t finish. Boring
