Went to cirque du soleil last night and obviously it was great seeing all the freaks do the mad s*** but my favourite bit was that all the intermediary and side bits had this exact vibe

Me the entire show:

RRR = masterpiece

Hell yeah

Broski you ever read any Norman Mailer ? I had my eye on his book about the Ali vs Foreman fight that looks interesting

Have you heard about the time he stabbed his wife in front of a bunch of people at a party when he was the king of the literary world? "Get away from her. Let the b**** die"

hell yeah man, love that one. i’ll never forget listening to her debut EPs anticipating that album, posting about it in the KTT1 thread wish i loved her last couple albums as much

that one was good too lmfao

read many goosebumps books as a child. good times. Especially that one story where they've played that card game and the world was changing all the time due to that game. A bit like Jumanji but more like Lovecraft tbh. forgot the name of that story. EDIT: It's "Be Afraid - Be Very Afraid!"

also where that protagonist's dad turned into a plant.

and that bizarre super hero story.

Yeah I have but not in a while. Reading the synopsis, this sounds like something that might interest you too goodreads.com/book/show/12468.The_Executioner_s_Song

Yea I read bout that, sounds like quite the mon.

Writers tend to be nuts

Might starts this Man In The High Castle I got for xmas

That goes way beyond ""nutty eccentric writer"

"In 1981, Norman Mailer threw the heft of his towering celebrity into freeing a convicted murderer and likely psychopath named Jack Henry Abbott.

Six weeks later, Richard Adan, a 22-year-old aspiring playwright, slumped to his death in a Bowery alley. Abbott, by then a darling of literary New York, had sliced the man's heart nearly in two."

What the f*** Norman

Abbott described his life as being a "state-raised convict", spending much of his life since age 12 in confinement in state facilities, including solitary confinement. He wrote that because of confinement with other violent offenders from whom he could not escape, he developed a subjective perspective that every encounter was potentially threatening.
