I feel seen.
I would add to nonfiction response.
4-I can’t believe the author missed a gigantic point.
For example. I’m reading a book on #MarkTwain, who was obviously ADHD, and the author completely misses it.

#quote #MarkTwain
I’m reading this very thick book on #MarkTwain, written by Ron Chernow and he completely misses that Twain was obviously ADHD and a chronic depressive. All his attempts to penetrate Twains psyche feel like time wasted searching further sensational instead of taking the obvious.

#MarkTwain “fretted that “ ‘communists & the asinine government” might take away their funds. In the mean time, they had decided to stop worrying about money…”
I would jest that the #MarkTwain award (which is going to Bill Maher, reportedly, the cuntiest voice in a cunty game) is about to be devalued significantly, but they’ve already given it to Bill Cosby 🤦♀️
