These two passages depict the same subject matter in an identical style. One is from Fifty Shades of Grey. The other is from Sally Rooney’s Normal People. I bet you can't even tell which is which. If we have the sensibility to dismiss one as a trashy romance novel, then why do we continue to celebrate the other as serious literature?

one of the biggest things reading does for you is teach you how much you lack, how dumb you are. the worst people online don’t read and so they are constantly convinced they are at the highest echelon of thought

Seeing a book you’ve read before in a bookstore and smiling at it like nobody knows what went on between us.

我爷爷给人看了一辈子风水，临走前跟我交了个实底： 1. 不管住哪，要说房子好 2. 和谁在一起，就说谁好 3. 上班的时候，就说这个工作好 4. 遇到晴天，就说阳光很暖 5. 碰到下雨天，就说空气很好 6. 喝水的时候，就说水都是甜的 人本身就是一个能量场，从你嘴里说出什么，就吸引什么，坚持这样做，你会发现自己一切都越来越好。 最后补了一句：“看风水是看地，但人最大的风水，在嘴上。这话，你记死了。”

Maya Angelou was assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend when she was seven. She told her brother, then her abuser was found beaten to death. So she became mute. She did not speak a word for five years, because she believed her words could kill a person.

as much as "death penalty to all pedos" seems like a good idea, telling a child "are you absolutely sure this happened? remember if you say yes this man is going to die and it's your fault" is a great way to get them to recant their statement in court

The revolt of the reader

Reading is important to me. While I’m not a quick reader nor an especially voracious one, I have found that long-form reading has had a profound influence on me over my life. And because reading is...

The Economist publica sistemáticamente artículos «periodísticos» pésimos, xenófobos y mal documentados sobre Latino America. No son más que una máquina de propaganda.
