Hiya reader who can be a reader, and welcome again to Booked For The Week – our common Sunday chat with a choice of cool trade of us about books! No cool trade individual this week. As an alternative, a minor celebration. The RPS content material administration system tells me that I’ve used the ‘Booked For The Week’ tag….52 occasions! I’ve forgotten to put up a couple of occasions and there was a short hiatus, however when it comes to quantity no less than, I am declaring this the column’s official one 12 months anniversary. Chin chin!
I’ve completed Tony Tulathimutte’s Rejection. It was, as I suspected, excellent. Here is a bit I highlighted wherein a personality contemplates explaining Twitter to her terminally sick mom:
“A part of me genuinely needed to attempt to clarify how there existed two adversarial factions of feminine leftist cum-posters, one which posted about being bimbo throat-goats who needed their huge naturals blasted with cum but additionally needed insulin to be state-subsidized, vs. the theorypilled cynics whose political acumen and hotness and crassness have been half of a bigger venture of licensing ridicule, and the way one of many latter did a imply quote-tweet of one of many former, which in every of their camps set off a sequence of subtweets and retaliations and excavations of previous racist tweets and micropartisan wagon-circling that achieved nothing however to until the soil for future clashes and exhibit how far past salvation everybody was, together with, particularly, clearly, me.”
Relying on your feeling on ‘vs.’ there is a case to be made for that being a single sentence. Good sentence, I believed. I’ve moved on to Eliza Clark’s She’s At all times Hungry, though have not learn fairly learn sufficient but to have fashioned any coherent ideas on it. And also you? Guide for now!
