Bicentennial Man and other stories by Isaac Asimov

what I wanted: to finally have read this classic

what I got: some surprisingly good short stories, actually!

what I thought: It's absolutely fascinating how modern these stories feel considering how old they are. I really enjoyed reading them and also appreciated the tidbits of context the author provides for each story, which is why I rate this 4 out of 5 robot surgery tools.

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.

STRIP THIRTY-THREE I have many writing projects, including: what would happen if, let's say, fifty of our favorite literary characters were suddenly thrown into the 21st century? D'Artagnan and Elizabeth Bennet would definitely be among them, and I think they would fall in love, too.

This Charming Man by C. K. McDonnell

what I wanted: more fun, magical shenanigans

what I got: a wonderfully entertaining read

what I thought: This was great fun! From characters to writing style to the plot - everything just works well to make up a great read. I rate this 4 out of 5 cloves of garlic.
