    Apparently the president may issue an executive order as soon as tomorrow to shut the whole thing down (in the US, at least)

    Literature thread

    Oh what a mess, there's a whole literature section! I'm so sorry, I was looking in conversation area and totally missed it!

    Literature thread

    I couldn't find another thread like this so I hope I am not being redundant. I thought we could have a place where we discuss our favourite literary works, recommend novels to one another, discuss the classics, etc. (especially now that Lana is a published author, ofc) I suppose I'll start... Favourite works: Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier; The Price of Salt (or Carol), Patricia Highsmith; The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid Favourite fictional character: Rebecca De Winter (for better or worse) Last book you read: An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, Robert Dallek I would suggest perhaps not posting too many spoilers...? I know its wonderful to discuss the twists and turns a novel may have, but I would never want to ruin that for another person...(also, I personally believe that saying "this book has a twist" is a spoiler itself, regardless of wether you identify the twist or not). Happy Reading!

    it's so cool that lana actually knows and works with her sound mixers and engineers--i've heard a lot of artists aren't much involved with that part of their work. Personally, I find engineering so incredibly fascinating, and it truly is such a fine-tuned art
  7. I didn’t think there would be so much Zella hate on this site Shes really quite talented and a very good songwriter
  8. ah yes 60USD is about 80CAD lmao rip...hmmmm maybe i will buy then (but will wait till i'm back in the US)
  9. omg yes that one is amazing too! tbh i forget which poems i like often, bc my iBooks audiobook doesnt have the names of the poems, just track numbers (and since its a locked file, I can't rename the tracks... )
  10. I wanted to buy a switch, but then I saw how expensive the games were!? I don't want to waste my money on games that i may not like/will forget about in a matter of weeks? do they go on sale anytime? Are they always $80~
  11. i really suggest listening to Where Does the Devil Hide? 4/5 tracks are already out. Her last LP was also amazing (but very different sonically)--East of Eden has one of my favourite bridges ever (If I wanted to stay/You don't mind, you're a true believer)
  12. NFR was the only Lana cover I instantly loved tbh
  13. I love the production on Zella's latest EP, can't wait for this. Ive been listening to Zella since i was 13/14 and Sweet Ophelia Came Out
  14. I really didn't notice how beautiful "Never to Heaven" was until I properly read the lyrics. There's something very profound about the lyrics "at least i won't have spent my life waiting / looking for God in the clouds of the dawn"...it's very Christopher Hitchens almost--in that he believed that not only did theism do no good to society, but was a waste of time and held humanity back. but maybe i'm just projecting my own feelings on to it (although, arguably, that's what poetry is for; to find yourself in side of it) omg i just looked at the poll and i cant believe how few votes "Never to Heaven" got! Personally I think "Violet Bent Backwards Over Grass" and "Never to Heaven" are the best poems...with "Sportcruiser" being a close 3rd
  15. It better be Kamala or Warren tbh. Probably Kamala but I would’ve killed for a Warren presidency in 24
  16. when i was reading the lyrics on Genius last night, there were 7 untitled Haikus listed in the tracklist for Violets. Not sure what their source is, though. So we may or may not have 21 of the 30 poems (at least in part)
  17. Imagine if she ever has kids and releases a children’s book of nursery rhymes. I would raise my kids on it like it’s the bible
  18. I wonder if she’s allowed to go back in the studio to finish up the album/shoot some visuals? Tbh I thought she’d have stayed in the Midwest and did some cool shoots. Surprised she’s back so soon unless there was a pressing reason
  19. "If good prose can be poetic, a novel can be 'pure poetry,' and poems can be prosaic, then it’s not clear what anyone is talking about, really. Or rather, it’s clear except to theorists trying to come up with definitions" -T.S. Eliot
  20. poetry is such a broad description of a literary work, no one can really have the authority to say what is or isn't poetry! (also why poetry analysis courses are the easiest english courses to get an A in--total GPA booster)
  21. Another reason why their continent is the best in the world
