Reply to comment by StreetcarZero in How triggering is ‘The Road’? by The_Upbeat_Jumper
I am so glad I read this book before I had kids because I could appreciate it as the harrowing work of art that it is without really understanding how parenthood would affect my reading. I have kids now, and my oldest is approximately the same age as the boy in the book, and I will never read it again.

Yeah, this seems to be the rant of somebody growing up on Twitter and looking for the short and quick dopamine release

Not sure if this is a typo or a brain twister but works either way.

Reading is reading! Unless you're on a strict deadline, like an assignment for school, there shouldn't be any pressure at all to read more or read faster. Do what makes you happy!

Yeah, I don’t really understand why some treat reading like a homework assignment.

You are right, a more correct phrasing would be that generation was arguably the more or, imo, most significant.

I don't really know what you expected..? Colleen Hoover is well known garbage.

“The Stand” comes to a screeching halt once they get to Colorado IMO, “The Road” is great but it definitely doesn’t encapsulate the beginning of “The Stand”. It’s bleak as hell. Themes of suicide, loneliness, giving up, brutality, perseverance.

Metallica is poor baroque music—which is a dumb criticism and misses the whole point. Sci-fi is an ideas-first genre and Foundation is excellent sci-if. Sci-fi may not be a good fit for you, but you might like literary sci-fi.

It's one of those books where I didn't like it till closer to the end, it was slow and kind of boring. However by the end, I was invested into the story and ended up enjoying it.
I could definitely see myself reading this series again, but still it was so slow. I'm usually fine with slower books but not in this case.

Try Betterworldbooks.com
Also in US shipping books overseas is very expensive. The least expensive choice is USPS and it will be by weight.
