Yes. Even if you are a mediocre writer with some degree of success you will have women reaching out because there is nothing more romcom than "dating an author." There might be less if you are someone like Evola but I doubt that number is zero. Source: my mediocre writing career

I'm genuinely destroyed and betrayed by Charles Dickens. I thought I would get into literature and reading and so I pick up the first book in arm's reach. It's like being in a slow motion collision. I'm utterly crushed under the weight of the blackpill here, I can't go on. It's like being trapped in a house up in flames, and then a support beam comes down on me and slams me to the ground as I start catching fire.

Why do zoomers need such grandiose buzzwords for everything? A book can't just be sad, it has to be "life-denying," as if you need to justify the fact that a book made you sad by implying that it's some sort of metaphysical threat to your soul or something. It isn't. It's just a sad book and the ending made you sad. Some books do that, it's normal. You don't have to excuse yourself by making up some narrative as if this book was written for the purpose of damaging your spirit. It wasn't.

It's especially funny that you'd choose Dickens of all people to apply this meme phrase to. There are very few authors who praise common kindness and simple pleasures as highly as Dickens. Most of his books are about honest, energetic young men who - through sheer perseverance and good-naturedness - overcome some greedy old miser who would deny others their right to basic humanity. In short, he's one of the most life affirming artists who ever lived, usually to the point of being preachy about it (but you forgive him for that because you like his wide casts of zany characters and his prose is nice).

You just happened to pick one of the extremely rare Dickens books that doesn't have a happy ending and for some reason chose to be a bitch about it. You do not have to behave as though everything that makes you sad is some kind of attack on your spirit. It's okay to be sad sometimes, including from a book.

Tale of Two Cities didn't leave that heavy of an impression on me. I thought Great Expectations was more gut punch filled

I think the former actually had a surprisingly happy ending if I recall (minus Sydney's fate).

Okay, ive been sitting on this for months and i really cant anymore. im a production assistant at Bantam Spectra, been here for years. i am not going to post any proof because i actually want to keep my fucking job.

The manuscript was delivered internally in January 2026. Not a partial. The actual full thing. GRRM apparently finished it sometime in late 2025 and the silence from his blog has been intentional, marketing told him to go dark.

We have been in full editorial and layout pipeline since February. The official announcement is embargoed until Comic-Con, but we know hes going to announce it on his blog first because he doesnt give a fuck, with the actual release window being around fall. They want those holiday sales.

The book is long, like long long, think AFFC and ADWD in one book, I wont say the word count because that alone would identify the source, but its about 1600 manuscript pages. People will not be disappointed on that front.

The marketing team has been talking about a coordinated campaign that involves HBO so theres probably content planned to drop alongside the release, ill let you guys figure that out.

Ill check this thread for a bit but i wont confirm or deny details that could identify me. Dont ask me stupid shit and yes jon is back lol

Well I played Red Dead some years ago and there’s a city in that which is probably meant to be a fictional version of New Orleans and if I recall correctly it was full of non whites and frogs… yuck, fortunately it’s like gta in the sense that you can just shoot them in the head if you feel like it.

His adventures with the blacks and gays are completely retarded though. Also, if you pay close attention you'll notice that he never actually read Boethius. He's "intelligent" in the sense that he's better educated than the literal slum dwellers surrounding him, but he's not intelligent enough to avoid making a complete ass of himself everywhere he goes.

I was extremely hyped and I'm finding it very boring. I'm like 1/3th through, when Pip arrives to London, and things seen to start getting interesting, but God. I'm normally a very patient reader but the stupid plot, the retardation of every single character and their fagginess made me almost drop it.

The Birth of Tragedy (Stanford translation)
I think I'm too stupid for this book, or at least I'm not familiar enough with Schopenhauer to understand the framework that Nietzsche is working in here. I'm reading it very slowly, maybe two sections a day, sometimes re-reading them again later that day if I really felt lost the first time. I'm traveling right now but once I'm home I think I'll re-read everything I've read up to this point in full and take notes down.

If you don't like it you're going to have a rough go withe the later novels. From Children and onwards it's more or less a dissertation on messianic figures and the nature of dictatorships.

LOCATION: Middle America
DATE: 10/11/2001
SUBJECT: Duh, stupid

The flags were big. Disturbingly big. Where did they get flags that big. I was walking down the street when I saw a flag so big, so insanely big it covered an entire facade, that I forgot I was in the middle of a suburb and wondered if the American Nazi Party had taken over. I was so caught up in the spectacle of to, that I bumped into someone on the street. They asked, “Where’s your flag?”—“My flag?”—They called out, “Are you in-American? Didn’t you see what happened on TV?” I was perspiring profusely when suddenly someone gave me a handkerchief, patterned like the American flag. “Excuse me,” I blurted. “Can you point me in the direction of the flag store? I’d like to buy a flag to drape over my T.V.”—“Huh?”—“Y’know,” I continued. “To commemorate all the people who were charred alive and crushed by the falling debris at the Twin Towers.”—“I want to show I’m a patriot.”—“Oh…. Then you want the flag store.”—“Yeah. Where is it?”—“Next to the T.V. store. You can’t miss it. It’s next to the big flag.”—“O.K.”
