@RoeRalph92965 @LeoTollstoy I had to do that with Infinite Jest more often than I’d like to admit publicly.

@RoeRalph92965 @LeoTollstoy I have Faulkner’s collection here but was warned Sound and Fury was a challenging read. Did you find that to be the case?

@RoeRalph92965 @LeoTollstoy And to think that has just been sitting on my shelf here unread. I am almost ashamed! Ha! Appreciate the suggestion.

I'm curious now, however, what non-McCarthy book is your all-time favorite read?

[Have You Read This? @HYRTPod]

@bookswithiris That is far from the worst

@popcomes This from now on

[Have You Read This? @HYRTPod]

@RoeRalph92965 @LeoTollstoy I have read Blood Meridian and Child of God. Suttree is on my shelf to read. Maybe I’ll have to bump that up the list.

For books with #Backrooms vibes, the endless labyrinth of rooms in Piranesi has a similar tie in. There are other similarities, but more differences to make this one as interesting for readers who like this genre.

[Have You Read This? @HYRTPod]

With Backrooms hitting theaters today, I had wanted a book with some similar vibes, and Piranessi by @susannaclarke_ was one that popped up as recommended.

Did I enjoy it or set it on fire in the driveway?

[Have You Read This? @HYRTPod]

You know what else I enjoyed about the #Backrooms in the theater was how everyone shut the hell up the ENTIRE TIME so we could all enjoy the neck breaking tension together

as melhores cenas de backrooms são justamente as gravadas com a câmera de baixa qualidade. a atmosfera fica muito mais assustadora e angustiante. e quem fala que o filme é parado ou que não acontece nada tá muito no efeito dopamina do tiktok, porque o filme cria tensão e desconforto praticamente o tempo todo

[Variety @Variety]

Kane Parsons opens up about the feelings the #Backrooms brings out in him:

"I feel as though liminal space, that whole world, is very much connecting with people on the level that it’s referencing uncurated little fragments of memories that are lacking context. Moments in your life where the primate mind has learned its environment, and has a specific relationship with the way it memorizes its environment. You’ve got little abstract flickers of a location you went to when you were a kid that you have no idea where it was, or when it happened, or what happened there exactly. You just have information that floats around in the brain sometimes, and a lot of these little space photos evoke the feeling of people who had childhoods in the early 2000s and ’90s, and I think that’s partially just due to the medium of a lot of the stuff being digicam."
