Thank you

Not looking for another “the road” experience. That book fucked me up for weeks.

I’m not trying to be offensive, but maybe it would be wise to temper the extent to which you allow your emotions to decide whether you finish a book or not.

It’s hang ups like this that allow the totalitarian-for-profit to achieve further control. People are too sensitive and can’t withstand discomfort even when the discomfort is caused by something as harmless as a fictional dystopian novel.
