  I hope one day you’re able to find out what’s making you so angry. I went through a phase of taking myself too seriously, and only reading “serious” literature, only listening to music that was “pure” enough, etc… Then I figured out that sometimes you mix a little comfort food into your diet of fine dining, and life gets a little brighter. It’s not about stopping being critical, but looking at the why and what that criticism covers.

  Corporate bullshit sucks, and always will. But a series of books written by a couple of (previously) nobodies just seems like a strange target for this much ire. Totally fine if its not your jam, though.

      Hey man, you touched all this off by making wide, sweeping, personal generalizations about folks who like literature that you don’t (or read at a different rate, or remember different details than you would have), even going so far as to tie it to their nationality. You set the tone, so if you can’t take it don’t dish it. Easy as.
