I’m not normally an essay reader myself, but since reading this I’m trying to find magazines/other publications that release this type of writing. He had me captivated about the different types of tennis techniques that various players use, when I’ve never given tennis more thought then “get it over the net.”
Finished A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again recently except for the David Lynch essay, want to watch the movie first. First foray into DFW, I like his writing style so far. Started Meditations on First Philosophy, getting through it very slowly. Listened to the first two Murderbot books, liked them more the further in I got. Second I thought was better than the first. About to start listening to Jade Legacy. Not the biggest fan of this series, but since I’m listening and not reading (helps with a long commute) I figured I’ll just wrap up the series.
“Do you have any rubber walrus protectors?”
“Call the poliiiiiiice!”
Scared me then, scares me more as an adult understanding the implications.
Maybe it was because I listened to them instead of read them, but this series didn’t click with me. It was almost like floating through a haze. I feel like I missed out, it seems like it’s a well-liked series.
