you seem to have a wide taste in books !! what are some books that you would recommend ??
Hmmm I wonder. I have the feeling I just read the same couple of books over and over, and at times only different iterations of the same story, like in that line by Borges ("the various intonations of a few metaphors").
I find recommending books without knowing anything at all about the person asking rather difficult. What I'd suggest to one may differ greatly from what I'd recommend to someone else. I'll give a list of some of my favourite books that I think are enjoyable in general:
— Thoughts by Pascal
— Cain: a mystery by Lord Byron
— The Iliad by Homer
— Crime and Punishment by Dostoievsky
— Othello by Shakespeare
— Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo
— Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
— The fragments of the Presocratics
— La Regenta by Leopoldo Alas, Clarín
— Tractatus Logico-philosophicus by Wittgenstein
— East of Eden by John Steinbeck
— Vita nova by Dante
— Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers by Georg Cantor
— Caligula by Albert Camus
— North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
— Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
— Some essays by Russell. I personally love Mysticism and Logic
— Metamorphoses by Ovid
Poetry is perhaps harder to recommend because at times it translates horribly, but in general I love Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Rilke, Byron, Quevedo, Góngora, Lope de Vega, Horace, Catullus, Ovid, Tennyson, Maiakovsky, Garcilaso de la Vega, Oliverio Girondo, Vicente Huidobro, Emily Brontë, T. S. Eliot, Luis Cernuda and Edgar Allan Poe, to name a few.

I like that all my tavs/durges have romanced different ppl i can't imagine making another tav that works so well w asty considering it seemed like a total fluke. Consistently battling between approval n disapproval, they regularly challenged each other (and that included times eins was callous without realizing just how much their words meant to asty)... like I truly think just playing the game as close to what I *think* my character would do worked so well I would just be trying to recapture that magic if I tried 2 romance him again

(Main verse mig) Don't mind him, just casually dangling from the ceiling on a webline, hanging upside down as he addresses Mauga. "There's no way that body of yours is natural. I can tell, even without enhanced olfactory senses, that aside from your two hearts, you were someone's willing guinea pig for enhancements." It's an observation that strikes a specific cord with Miguel, a man who became a monster on accident, verses someone who willingly embraced. "Why do such a thing?
'Willing?'
He was never willing for what they did to him after scrapping him more than half dead off the singed grates after a hellfire mission went south. Explosions blasted in his ears from that day, the recoil of his gun rammed against his side with rounds of burst fire all the way until a sharp and sudden blast scorched and ended with a deafening ringing to his ears. Everything after that was as good as vague sensations of whirring machinery, the scent of something burning and bright lights disorienting an already blurred sight up until he crushed the neck of one of those damned scientists.
'Willing' wasn't the word he'd use when it came being an experiment with the dual hearts and cybernetic augmentations that very likely kept him alive but what's done is done and he's only been improving on himself since then. Hell, he may still yet have a bit of a grudge held towards them but he'd rather not spoil his mood with such volatile thoughts as a chortle exhaled.
Mauga looked at the guy dangling from a thin red line, reminding him a little too much of Widowmaker... if she was a guy. Honestly the tight suits were something of a pattern but then again he's only seen two of these spiders scuttling around.
" These muscles are as natural as they come, buddy. Now for the dual hearts and minor augmentations? Yeah, you got me there but I wouldn't say it was particularly my idea to get cut open for those crazy scientists to do their little experiment. "
" I'm just using what they decided to give me. "

You know what fucking annoys me? People who say shit like, "But it's your mom, don't you think you'll regret it if you never talk to her again?"
No. No tf I won't. Doesn't matter that she gave birth to me, she is not my mom.
