Watchmen: The Deluxe Edition

Alan Moore

This is an interesting idea, and I might implement it someday. For now, let me just say that any randomly chosen page of the graphic novel "Watchmen" by Alan Moore surpasses everything Dostoyevsky wrote in his entire life, with all of Tolstoy thrown in. https://t.co/D8AkaaaVTU

Super Sad True Love Story

Gary Shteyngart
Slava Malamud 🇺🇦Slava Malamud 🇺🇦

Reading @Shteyngart's "Super Sad True Love Story" is terrifying because it portrays the worst kind of futuristic dystopia imaginable, but his description of Russian Jewish immigrant parents is so hilariously on the money, I've stopped responding to my mom's phone calls (7 a day).

The Boys: Dear Becky Hc

Garth Ennis
Slava Malamud 🇺🇦Slava Malamud 🇺🇦

Like, seriously. A woman gets killed by a motherfucking train. How do you manage to make this scene boring? I fucking dare you! Challenge a 2nd-grader to write it, and they'll do fine . Garth Ennis would turn it into a whole issue of The Boys that would be gross and unforgettable

A Russian man is facing a criminal probe for passing out free copies of George Orwell's "1984." His crime? "Discrediting armed forces of the Russian Federation." In unrelated news, Russia's national sport is short-distance self-owning. https://t.co/tnmaKkD2gp
