. . . cause Zhanteimi lived in Japan for so long, he came to believe all white people are his doppelgänger.

edit to add one more:

Beyond Future Shock by Alex Alaniz
These are kind of more morbid entries. The first especially makes you reflect on how all of us are just slowly aging and dying right now. An interesting take to be sure, but I definitely have to pick up a copy of The Wizard of Oz immediately after entering these worlds or something.

Read The Tao Te Ching again. Always good for the soul. I have an audio copy as well. I need to get my PC fixed. I was able to create audio books from any text using a free program called eSpeak.

Well what I like about On the Road is that it casts Moriarty as the antagonist. It makes too much sense for it not to be good.

tbf if I read the book now w/out a sense of punk vs hippy counterculture rivalry and the internet to know who the characters really represented and what they did

long story short my lack of appreciation for that book is admittedly on me

I should read it again and read it right this time
