@BenjaminSteinh3 @JoyceCarolOates I like following her too. Funny thing when I read his list - Them was the first JCO novel I'd read as a teenager - my parents had boxes of paperbacks in the basement and that's where I found a musty old copy in the basement one summer in the very early 80s

@svdate @steven_pifer actually, it's worse than that

@TomJChicago It's called splitting - hallmark of the cluster B personality pathologies including malignant narcissism

@OrinKerr "It's dead" = "ceasefire"

@Notalwayswrite Never forget that Oprah created him - Dr. Phil too

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@JoyceCarolOates I don't understand the desire to "speed read" - never have - it's also one reason that like physical books - savor and look back and forth - it's not who remembered/retained the most when they die that's the winner - it's the experience

@svdate he's a toddler - wait, no - the stupidity of toddlers is adorable - he's just a very sick man

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@jared_shult I don't hate him - find him mildly irritating - in the end, he's sad and pathetic

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@BenjaminSteinh3 @JoyceCarolOates Didn't remember this exact quote, but do remember there was a big caveat looking to the future. "Mug's game" - don't know exactly what that means but love it. BTW the laughing emoji in my tweet was about JCO's saying he listened to the Ring Cycle in 27 minutes, etc. Not his list.

@BenjaminSteinh3 @JoyceCarolOates Think I can remember these picks for the canon: JOA Them, Updike The Witches of Eastwick, and Morrison Song of Soloman. I read his book almost 30 years ago but those jumped out at me because I was reading those authors a lot in the 90s.

@svdate He's splitting - a hallmark of the cluster B personality disorders which include malignant narcissism - the world consists of only two kinds of people - enemies and allies (otherwise known to the naricissist as toadies)

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@elaine_stritch Have a sick club mix of that somewhere around here - picked it up at Virgin back in the 90s

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@smalls2672 Is that how it works? Doesn't the bar have to impose discipline?

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@RichardHanania Is all nudity porn?

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@Notalwayswrite Just shits on everything he touches

[diffugerenives @diffugerenivesx]

@mrbryanjohn Why, oh why, do the wrong people travel, when the right people stay back home?

@catchypiccolino First one I saw too
