I am reading this book where the author analyzes a few classic Russian short stories. you get to read a few pages of the story - then he talks about what happened in it, what our expectations are, where they come from, etc. it's basically a literature seminar.
he starts with the statement that every sentence should make you want to continue reading. pretty simple. as I'm going through the new artists of @propaganda_site right now I noticed this applies to music as well. #GeorgeSaunders -
"What a lovely home I found myself plummeting toward, acquiring, as I fell, arms, hands, legs, feet, all of which, as usual, became more substantial with each passing second."

~ George Saunders, from The Moron Factoryslip:4utema4.

Een tijdje later hadden we een feestje, en een deel van de boekenclub was over dit boek aan het praten. Ik haakte aan. Over welk boek hebben jullie het? Oh dat boek weer, nope not for me. Dacht ik.
Toch bleef ik dit boek maar […]
