Might fuck around and read Jack London’s 1915 novel about a guy discovering astral projection and past life regression while under intense torture in San Quentin.

Division Street: America

Studs Terkel
Blake FitzgeraldBlake Fitzgerald

@Empty_America Meaningfulness can also come and go. Many WW2 veterans interviewed by Studs Terkel in the 80s felt like they’d been part of the realest shit that would ever happen by 22 and then spent the rest of their lives just phoning it in with their highballs and 5-ton sedans in the suburbs

Book Cover for: Germinal, Émile Zola

Germinal

Émile Zola
Blake FitzgeraldBlake Fitzgerald

@Empty_America I feel like Emile Zola gets this down pretty well in Germinal. The miners’ wear out their bodies and starve, but half cocked and off the clock no one can be happier. The upwardly mobile bourgeois knows no hunger or physical pain, but is neurotic in his precarity 25 hours per day.
