Do an audit: Go into your phone's settings, PayPal or bank statement, List everything. Prepare to be embarrassed. IF you haven't used the service in three months - cut it.

MS In A Bottle

What in the actual hell is happening? Did they sail from Pulau Java to the South Pole? Are the crew dead? Did they come back as spirits? Is this a pirates of the Caribbean situation?

Hopfrog

At least in this one he tells you what is being avenged. Ah the 19th century when death was the ideal punishment to all imperfect men

The Cask of Amontillado:
It’s diabolical to claim revenge for an insult without telling us what the insult was

It’s kinda funny and beautiful to see the effect losing his friend has on Sam

“the most intimate relationships allow for a great deal of privacy within them."

“what is love in the end? Except the irrational desire to put evolutionary competitiveness aside in order to ease someone else’s journey through life?”

There are no ghosts, but up here 🧠, it’s a haunted house

‘I bought myself a job, just the way you bought yourself a tomcat husband, just the way Newt bought himself a week on Cape Cod with a Russian midget!'

'What did you people do with the dog?' I asked limply.
low Americ:
'We put him in the oven,' Frank told me. 'It was the only thing to do.' WHAT

“So I said good-bye to government, And I gave my reason:
That a really good religion
Is a form of treason.”

'Copies are hard to come by,' said Castle. "They aren't printed. They're made by hand. And, of course, there is no such thing as a completed copy, since Bokonon is adding things every day?'
Little Newt snorted. 'Religion!'
'Beg your pardon?' Castle said.
'See the cat?' asked Newt. 'See the cradle?'

“New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.”

“As Bokonon says: 'Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.” (Claudia, this one’s for you)

‘Dynamite money,' I marvelled, thinking of the violence of dynamite and the absolute repose of a tombstone and a summer home.
'What?'
'Nobel invented dynamite.'

I never thought I’d enjoy reading the memoirs of an author but this is a promising start. Maybe I’m just becoming old and boring like him.

“If she could grasp her, if she could clasp her, if she could make her hers absolutely and for ever and then die; that was all she wanted. But to sit here, unable to think of anything to say; to see Elizabeth turning against her; to be felt repulsive even by her - it was too much; she could not stand it.”

This is psychotic from Doris

“Mr. Dalloway, to do him justice, had been kind.
But Mrs. Dalloway had not. She had been merely con-descending. She came from the most worthless of all classes - the rich, with a smattering of culture. They had expensive things everywhere; pictures, carpets, lots of servants. She considered that she had a perfect right to anything that the Dalloways did for her.”

“But it was Clarissa one remembered. Not that she was striking; not beautiful at all; there was nothing picturesque about her; she never said anything specially clever; there she was, however; there she was”

“Later she wasn't so positive, perhaps; she thought there were no Gods; no one was to blame; and so she evolved this atheist's religion of doing good for the sake of goodness.”

Peter is a stalker

My notes app has never seen this much use

“Half the time she did things not simply, not for themselves; but to make people think this or that; perfect idiocy she knew for no one was ever for a second taken in”

“She had the oddest sense of being herself invisible; unseen; unknown; there being no more marrying, no more having of children now, …, this being Mrs. Dalloway; not even Clarissa any more; this being Mrs. Richard Dalloway.”

This is the fastest I’ve read a book in years
