"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking." A line from Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

I don't know, man. Sandra's position feels a lot like gaslighting to me. She knows better than to think the outrage was due to envy and if she thinks that, it means she has 0 contact with the Latinx community right now and she has internalized her position as brown token. https://t.co/hUGnNzUqLl

@Ursulaofthebook I only have one, Rust and Bone by Craig Davidson. It was the collection that got me into short stories.

8.- The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz. I'm here to see what the buzz was about (I did like This is How You Lose Her a lot though). https://t.co/LO79VzqfoY

@only_mama After deep consideration I have to go with White People on Vacation by Alex Miller (@WildernessClub7). I've read a lot of great indie books this year, but so far this is my favorite.

I watched two movies today with references to Dante's Inferno. One was a hardcore drama with generational trauma on its core, and the other one was a teen comedy. And this proves that Dante is indeed universal and you can quote him in every scenario.

9.- The Drop by Dennis Lehane (Audiobook read by Jim Frangione). The movie with Tom Hardy was fucking great, underrated noir. https://t.co/uAzA3JgLhA

People love to compare past times with today when talking about rejections as if we're living in the same type of society with the same people running publishing and taking the same risks. For example, Stephen King's Carrie would never ever be published today. Ever.

I have to get this put of my chest. The other day I read Nora Ephron's Heartburn (and all of you know how much I love her) but that book almost turns that love into absolute hatred for one little thing she did there.
