   Damn it, this turned out to be a pretty thought-provoking piece. That’s not why I click on things!

   It’s great to see you writing again. I hope you enjoyed it.

   This was a good article but I would’ve appreciated some comparison of the plot of Ethan Frome to a sloth. I hated that book.

   Hey commenting is way easier here.

   The sloth is truly an underrated animal.

   You’re stuck with these words, these trudging, verbose words about class structure and rotting wedding cakes.

   So it’s kind of like the TLC of reading?

    The monster at the end of the book was honestly my favourite as a child. I made people read it to me everyday . In fact Im going to read it when i get home.

    Don’t stop writing. It is nice to read something that proves that people are still thinking. And reading. I fell a little bit in love with you. Good piece. Also, The Catcher in the Rye is awful, thank you for that.

    I kept waiting for you to mention Patrick O’Brian. You know, when Stephen says, “Jack, you have debauched my sloth,” truly one of the funniest lines in all of literature.

    I definitely feel the author’s pain… Speaking of “Anglophilic misanthropes,” litgothic.com has a trove of 18-19th century texts.
