i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

Quick-Look Book Review: Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
Quick-Look Book Reviews from @thebanishedreader are short, semi-immediate reviews post-finishing a book. They will not contain spoilers.
From the Flap:
Today is Leonard Peacock's birthday. It is also the day he will kill his former best friend, and then himself, with his grandfather's P-38 pistol.
Maybe one day he'll believe that being different is okay, important even. But not today.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook, Matthew Quick, brings an unflinching eye to the impossible choices we deal with every day - and the light in us all that never goes out.
Giuseppe Giorgetti’s Saint Sebastian which is placed at the site of the saint’s burial along the Appian Way.
please I'm begging i neeed books like sharp objects by gillian flynn. Give me southern gothic rot. eerie small towns. unhinged women. twisted family dynamics. trauma. secrets. writing that physically hurts
‘Cursed Bread’ by Sophie Mackintosh is exactly this, except it takes place in a small town in France in the 50s.
Ongoing Book Review: Dead Inside (Chandler Morrison) Pt. 1
I take way too long to finish books since I read like 7 at a time, so I have decided to start posting my thoughts and reviews as I go along. Also, that way I can actually commit to posting these reviews once I finish the book, which is yet another thing the commitment devils have kept me from accomplishing.
Anyhow, though, here we go: the first ongoing review will cover what I have read so far of Dead Inside by Chandler Morrison.
(CW: mentions of necrophilia, cannibalism, and sex. NSFW I guess).
Description by Seller (amazon.com): "A young hospital security guard with a disturbingly unique taste in women. A maternity doctor with a horrifically unusual appetite. When the two of them meet, they embark on a journey of self-discovery while shattering societal norms and engaging in destructively aberrant behavior. As they unwittingly help each other understand a world in which neither seems to belong, they begin to realize what it truly means to be alive... And that it might not always be a good thing."
I'm realizing now that this review is over a year old and I never finished posting it. This book was so ass I forgot to even tell people I read it. Instead of it being a book so bad you ignore it or don't finish it, this book filled me with such insurmountable irritation and frustration that I finished it, wrote a horrifically scathing review in my pen-and-paper notebook, yeesh, and then forgot it existed. damn. this book is genuinely not worth reading. It's not even an interesting author study. Huge L.
"You start a revolution one day at a time, with each breath you take. Just don't go back to that miserable place you go every day. Show me it's possible to be an adult and also be happy. Please."
