Or were we about to bust open a miscarriage of justice together?

A Little Life: A Big Feeling
Why was it so popular?! Unrealistic, melodramatic, depressing, unrelentingly bleak, overly long – 800 pages of emotional torture-porn. What did we learn from it all? Friendship good, abuse bad? What a revelation! The author desperately tried to make me feel something, and I did: anger. I f***ing hate this book.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
