I have to give a report over it for a class and I’m fuckin miserable about it. It was that or Malcolm Gladwell

The fuck is the class? The fuck is wrong with education? That or Gladwell? Fuck.

Business.

Not sure if it’s the teacher or the (other) text book, but a strong inference saying that a govt spending any money in the private sector is just like socialism keeps popping up, which is hilarious. I wish.

I wish that the analogy of government spending to non-profit entity spending was the comparison, cuz that's exactly what it is. No one ever says that though.

I decided to give Elena Ferrante a go. I’m about halfway into My Brilliant Friend, and it’s….ok. I’ve seen it on lists of best books of the century, and I find it a little dubious. I guess I went into it with higher expectations. I also went into it having just read Faulkner’s Light In August.

I’m really into reading on my phone. Being able to alter background and font has allowed me to increase my reading load. I especially like being able to read in the middle of the night without disturbing my bedmate. I use the Hoopla library app, which allows for 5 or so e-books a month.
