On Breaking Up Is Hard to Do With Dignity
@DH@twitter I pretty much listened to nothing but Tori for several months after my last break-up. My last.fm profile was the saddest thing ever: "Putting the Damage On" is still like my #5 most played track because of that break-up.

@che The Phantom Tollbooth :3 Another book from this thread I had to go get off the bookshelf when I saw it mentioned! The guy without a face still creeps me out :(

@BattyRabbit Also may I add that even though I have no-one to make babies with and no plans to find a person/babies any time soon, I still buy books for my hypothetical future children to discover/enjoy, and this thread is sooooo not helping me curb that habit.

Camus' 'The Plague,' last year. I got dumped and was single for the first time in my adult life (after two back-to-back very-long-term relationships starting in adolescence) and had no idea what I was doing. Existentialism helped and continues to help when I get the sads. There was much typing of sections verbatim into Tumblr posts, and now I'm okay, except for those occasional KEEN SHAFTS OF MEMORY THAT STING LIKE FIIIIIRE.

@Jenivere You didn't like Necklace of Kisses? I thought it was really great! More understanding of stuff than the earlier books? I dunno. Maybe I should read it again. Have you read the prequel? Do you think you will?

@sp0ka@twitter It took me sooooooo long to be okay with Cherokee. I'm still sort of upset about the boatloads of cultural appropriation (is that the right term?) present in that character, but at least I'm past the point now where I hate her just for being an oblivious bitch.
And aw aw aw Witch Baby. You wrestle with that inner clutch pig, you. Show me how.

On Happy Birthday, Shakespeare
@Megano! Titus Andronicus is my favorite too (so far) and it also makes me worry about myself. I saw a production once where Titus wore a floppy chef hat while making/serving the pies and I love love loved it. It was nutty.
(And happy almost-birthday soon?)
