Had a buddy enthusiastically recommend ‘Snow Crash’ by Neal Stephenson and I’m 2 chapters in and I kinda hate it tbh. The writing gets on my nerves and reminds me of some sort of proto r*ddit “le epic bacon” ass kinda writing. I imagine this was probably funny in 1992 when it came out but I don’t think I’m gonna finish it unless someone tells me it gets better.

On the flip side, started reading ‘Grapes of Wrath’ since I don’t remember anything about it but always see that one paragraph posted here, and fell in love with the writing right away.

Wild that there are people out there that only play competitive online games. Like, those are my least favorite games. Give me lots of lore and words. Honestly, I don’t even care if there’s any actual gameplay.
