Have youever kind of fall in love with somebody, but it's really just because you love yourself and they've done or said something that just echos in that core of what you think makes you special? Mike Swain I'm in that kind of love with you. Only an absolute monster recommends The Stranger tbh.

The Stranger was exactly what I was thinking about while reading Sirens too. I am thankful I read the Stranger in high school with a teacher who was really passionate about it. Great novella.

As a rape victim, who accepts life as... whatever, I can honestly say I'd never thank my rapist.

The harmoniums' only form of communication was a sort of greeting to one another: "They have weak powers of telepathy. The messages they are capable of transmitting and receiving are almost as monotonous as the song of Mercury.... "Here I am, here I am, here I am." "So glad you are."" You observed that the entire point of human existance was to send a greeting; it may just be the entire point of existance.

This point is brought up again toward the end when we see all of the statues that Salo made based off of the people he watched. These people essentially performed for a god they thought was watching them until the church came along and told them that god was utterly indifferent to their entire existance. I found this strange because Salo WAS watching them. He was entertained by them. He became endeared to all of humanity. A humanity that the book argues, would not exist without Salo. Is Salo god? If so, you could argue that he is not at all indifferent.

this was the first book I chose myself and wasn't forced to read as a child. until this book I never wanted to read, it was a chore. but my god, this book sparked a fire in me and I'll never forget it. didn't know until this pod cast I had the first edition but my house flooded and I lost it. at least I got to read it.

Amazon Rain Forests are not in Africa, they are in Brazil, South America...

This reminds me so much of the novels by Chuck Palahniuk (especially 'Fight Club' and 'Survivor'. You guys could probably do a kick-ass podcast about Palahniuk as well.

153 - The Best Genre Movies Of 2020

i think i could drown
in the roof of your mouth
but for now my throat will dry up in its drought

you make the pain go away
i would have wanted you to stay
but for the life of me i didnt have the courage just to say

my heart beat for no one but
an empty bookshelf all along
but then you came around and fucked the rhythm up

does it show i cannot tell
that i would probably burn in hell
had your hands still been lingering on my neck

if i was a mite
you would be the pesticide
doused upon me 
covered up as suicide

and ill be all but words
as i get eaten by the worms
id give it all away to feel how i felt at first

how i hate what we became
i never loved you anyway
is what my vision tells me as it fades

and while you laugh so carelessly
ill stare for all eternity
and think about the days
i could have spent all in a haze
had it just not ended this way
i guess its over soon

in the roof of your mouth
