As I grow older, I began relating to this list more and more. But as one who is born closer to the 2000’s and raised by a sheltered, buys-only-brand-names parent; I find myself paralyzed when attempting to buy from used goods vendors that these things are only found at these days. Judging if “they’re still good” is a skill issue.
Well well well, what a cosmic coincidence. I picked up “The Dain Curse, The Glass Key, and Selected Stories” by Dashiell Hammett from my local library. I only picked it up on a whim that short stories are suitable for story time before bed; I didn’t know anything of Hammett before.
So far I’ve only enjoyed The House in Turk Street. I’m impressed how he can make 30 pages pretty engaging. The characters aren’t too deep, even going so far as being stereotype characatures, but it allows for a more fast paced plot from being bogged down with backstory and motivation.
What I’m saying is, it’s creepily weird (in a good way) to hear his name drop on Lemmy and that his short & sweet, if also shallow, stories are so far helping me get back into reading after a college curriculum of textbooks and impenetrable classics (I love your ideas Kant, but God what a snooze).

Pope Bravo sounds sorta legit too.
My first thought was a really ripe cube of blue cheese.
Heh, nah nothing serious. Just bummed my long weekend is eaten up by a fever.
This really is nice, but I feel like it would’ve hit harder if I wasn’t sick at the moment.
I seem to recall republicans chanting “but Trump isn’t a king” around the time the No Kings protests started.
I guess it warrants repeating: NO KINGS!

Tbf they tried with Soylent, right?
If cooked right, they all make you see God.
I, for one, enjoyed your rant. And long as it was, the paragraph separation helped a lot and is appreciated.
