Post about books, authors, and other related shits.
By virtue of being the last I've read and enjoyed, I'd personally place "The Unbearable Bassington" by Saki/Hector Hugh Munro as my favorite, with "Nineteen-Eighty Four" by George Orwell as a close second. Though nowhere near as much of a debaser as Comus and lacking a lot of the more estimable qualities of Winston, part of the reason I enjoyed both works so much was because of the portions of them that I saw in myself. Spoilers for the former, though

Spoiler!

I am personally convinced I am to die in a way similar to yet more far more pathetic than the Bassington boy.

I read Frankenstein 3-4 times while in jail.

I doubt it was intended as a MAP allegory. But it sure is one.

I only read high literature like the novelizations of the Harry Potter movies.

I've honestly yet to read it at all, I'll make sure to add it to my backlog.
May I ask why you were in jail?

But basically contact offenses with teenage boys.

I'm currently about halfway through with the interview and, though I wouldn't have taken the same course of action, it really opened my eyes to how easy it would be for me to end up in a similar situation. (I am also afflicted by mania. I hate to self-diagnose, though I'm about 90% sure I suffer from schizoaffective disorder)
