Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole... not in New York

Yeah the writer is Ta-Nehisi Coates and he's incredibly talented. The essays themselves are plucked from each year of Obama's presidency, focusing on the black experience. Really eye opening stuff in a lot of ways.

Brave New World is off to a crackling start, I'm digging it big and I think I'll end up flying through it.

Knocked me for six, is that a popular saying? I like the way it sounds.

I know what you mean though, I thought with lockdown I'd be reading two books a week but nah

I think you'll like BNW, I remember reading it pretty quickly.

Knocked for six is apparently a reference to cricket, so I'm not surprised it's fairly prevalent in England haermm

Yeah, I've read like, two full books since lockdown started... considering that before then I was pretty solidly getting a book down a week, I'm ashamed. Last year I was at a point of reading two books a week, mostly through my daily commute.

Yeah same

But then, my motivation is generally pretty shot. I've got D&D next week and I might have to cancel for another week as I just haven't written anything, and can't bring myself to, either. Hate this lethargy and aimlessness.

It holds a special place in my heart because of when/where I watched it originally. It really resonated with my life at the time.

I totally get that, I was wondering about its appeal whilst watching it and realised that it could be because of my age as a first-time watcher. Did you see it when it first aired, or around then?

Yep. I was probably 13-16 when it aired on adult swim. I remember too we had an older tv. It was wooden and had thick buttons you had to press to change the channel. It was one show where I felt like I didn't even blink while watching

Damn, yeah, I can see that show opening your eyes and mind at that age. Maybe I just watched it too old 🙁

Just watch it through the eyes of a young teen who feels stuck in his boring hometown where nothing ever happens
