I’m trying to read more often. Like, a lot more often. I just don’t read. I have an immense, ever-growing list of books I’ve seen referenced in various places online that I want to read and digest. Most of it is leftist reading for my own learning purposes, but there’s a few bits of fiction I want to get through too. I don’t actually mind reading, it’s quite enjoyable actually, I just have trouble finding the motivation to do it.

Dropped

I remember buying this one when I was 13 years old. I was a Marilyn Manson stan, ran a black + white horror/gore blog on Tumblr, sought out snuff films online, and other ridiculous, incredibly unhealthy bullshit… and that’s excluding the mental and physical health issues I was dealing with at the time. Not a great time in my life, I must say. To this day I haven’t got past the introduction of this book and I have absolutely no desire to continue reading it. Consider the ‘dropped’ section its graveyard.
