just saw a review of mary shelley’s frankenstein that complained it was predictable. maybe i’m being annoying, but i don’t think that’s a valid critique for a piece of classic literature.

it’s predictable because it created an entire new genre and any “formulaic” aspects is because shelley created the formula. it is baked in to your favorite media. your ability to “predict” is because it’s culturally significant, not because it’s poorly written

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

i really love it when people here are “not normal” about the things they love. yes!! break down the scene that you’ve been obsessing over for weeks! create incredibly intricate theories based on a few throwaway lines! explain why you love this character so much—458 reasons and counting, and with visual aids! i love to see people putting their heart and soul into not being normal!!!
