That’s it, life’s too short.

Genuinely unsure I can finish this

“The Pool” would be good reading if its twist ending didn’t basically make it the Barbie movie instead of a meditation on why abandoning paganism is good for kids

If these are chronological then Daphne should get a most improved award because she went from duds to bangers real quick

If you don’t know enough about the world to listen to an old peasant man’s warning you about the sky nuns, I just don’t think there’s much hope for you

Shockingly this extremely well known short story is good. Also, very good instincts to hour the Americans get involved: when was the last time YOU saw a passenger pigeon?

I have a soft spot for people like Nat and the protagonist in The Road that see trouble coming and immediately move to rectify it

Ok this one is actually scary

Nothing scarier than, wait, let me check my notes, ah yes: women.

What is it about comfortable British people in literature that they can never enjoy it

Genuinely hate these
