I actually look forward to that. I think I already read plenty (compared to a mere mortal) so different stuff will just open up new boarders. It's August 15th and my 32nd birthday. If I had one wish, other than being healthy, it'd be a job that doesn't have second and third shift which I find (social) life ruining for very little benefits.

Btw, my short story that was published this year was presented and analyzed in a high school class. Kids & teacher really liked it and it was such an amazing thing to hear as I had no idea that one kid wanted to analyze it (he found about it when her mom gave him to read it lol).
Damn bro that's so fucking cool! Talk about posterity

So 1,5 week ago my nephew came with his stepfather out of the blue to my house for some ‘life advice’, in other words if he may work in my business. He’s 18 didn’t finish school and basically does nothing.

Two days in now, earlier today I said I’ll pick you up around 08:00 tomorrow, and he goes “no no, I can’t work I’ll go to the swimming pool with my mother and little brothers”

Im so angry. Two fucking days. And tomorrow will be a half day because of the heat. Fucking kids these days damn, shit ass mentality. Ain’t got work for him no more

    Why not, because DelPie retired?

    Lol I also read that as a kid plus it's one the rare things I had on a CDs back in the day, it was Britannica and I was really shocked with shitload of knowledge on one place.

    I just listened to some videos about some people talking about it. The ideas themselves look really solid and what I think of it myself on how to approach books, going into details and analysis, I think it's really worth it. I find that stuff really interesting (but I guess not everyone is into that kind of stuff). Plus I see that he's really into Greek philosophy which is a plus. I tried to look for a book but unfortunately we didn't translate him nor Harold Bloom. But I could pick one I'd probably go for Harold Bloom's book. I listened to him for hours and multiple times on youtube. He's really old school but I enjoyed listening to him (shortly, he's a type of guy that recommends Shakespeare as a foundation of everything, but then also all of the big names like Goethe, Tolstoy, Cervantes and others. And he shits on shit literature so there's some big respect from me). Hopefully we translate that some day.
    Harold Bloom could be a bit of a pretentious blowhard, but that’s also part of what made him awesome. Love his work. Best literary critic of the modern era, made even better that his “western canon” provoked such outrage amongst the woke mob in academia.

    I had no idea you read him, that's so great and I'm so glad you lik him. I do agree about the first part. It's generally not a trait I admire, however, I do like it sometimes when people carry shitload of knowledge and they are aware of it, so it makes them likeable arrogant bastards lol. I really love listening to him. Sadly I have no books available and I even checked the library.

    So we got over 40°C (40.3°C) for the first time in recorded history. Also national records for Wales and Scotland this week.

    Never seen heat like it here, it was windy and it felt like a hairdryer. Roll on the thunder.
