I'm the king of kings
I'm not the king of kings
but I'm the wreckage of a king
but really I'm not actually a king

Shattered visage in the desert by the stone legs
wrinkles its lip at you.
See my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Nobody has, will, or can read even 1% of the greatest literature ever written. Every canon is incomplete, every library is only a fragment, even the most knowledgeable reader is a blind mouse in an open field. Every encounter is a miracle.
Tell me your most life-affirming literary opinion.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

One important reason the #Superman movie is so good is that there are so many good vibes associated with its creation.
