Right, I get that, it’s just that that particular incorrect usage annoys me more than most.

“Would of”, “could of”, and “should of” infuriate me for some reason.
The Queen is Dead is the only Smiths album I like, the others just don’t do it for me.
I respect your opinion, but hard disagree - SFTD is good but both Villains and (especially) …Like Clockwork are better musically and lyrically imo.
The video for Pump It is also amazing
Take my opinion with a slight grain of salt because it’s been at least a decade since I read the book and a half of the series that I got through, but from what I recall the books just didn’t really have much to them - flat characters, awkward dialogue, and the actual prose itself was pretty bad. It was also boring enough that I just didn’t care about anything that was happening, and I’d read enough good fantasy by the time I read Eragon that its flaws were hard to look past - I know the dude was a teenager when he wrote it, but that doesn’t make the work magically better. Not trying to shit on anybody’s parade, but it just really wasn’t my thing.
I don’t know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.
Wow you spelled that next line really wrong
Malazan Book of the Fallen, Gentlemen Bastards series, most of Neil Gaiman’s work, The Library at Mount Char, the Baru Cormorant series, Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, and most of Plath’s work - I go back to most of those every few years.
Bojack Horseman is now an NPC in EVE Online, probably gives distribution missions for booze and drugs.
Sorry guys, the end times are on us, but at least they’re cute and fluffy.
The “smart home” story in particular is oddly prescient.
“Watching porn at work, so both.”
And what’s the deal with airline food?
Not sure if this is quite what you’re looking for, but the journals of a lot of famous writers and poets are published - people like Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, etc. who had bipolar disorder might be of interest. Plenty of psych memoirs out their too by people like Terri Cheney and Marya Hornbacher that might be of interest.
The series is fantastic but it does get quite heavy in a lot of ways. Very heavy on the ways people and societies are shitty to each other, but the central theme of it really is compassion.
The Lies of Locke Lamora would make a fantastic show/movie if done well, and I feel like the vast majority of it is pretty screen-friendly. Basically just some minor cgi for the scorpion-hawk and Falselight and you’re good.
Igor Stravinsky, Chris Rouse, Alfred Schnittke, Witold Lutoslawski, and Gustav Mahler are probably my top 5 composers.
People obviously fake-playing musical instruments. Either get a double who can play it or have a pro spend a few hours a day with the actor for 2 weeks to get them to at least have the basics down enough to look somewhat convincing.
Sorry for your loss :(
This one is old but never fails to make me laugh, hopefully it helps at least a little:
