I live around the corner from the Barr library (Jefferson and 44) and love that place. I was there today.

I know what you mean. I'm reading the Stormlight Archives right now and to me it's the best goddamn thing since sliced cinnamon bread, and then I see people in this sub calling it the "McDonalds of literature." I read strictly to be entertained, so I like straightforward, entertaining books. I read No Country For Old Men a couple of months ago and found it to be middling and tedious. I read the Scarlet Letter a couple of years ago and I fucking hated it. The only thing that overly flowery prose does for me is cause annoyance, so most of the widely-regarded classics are books that I couldn't stand.

I refuse to believe this is real. I need to stop reading this sub, man.

Us Against You, the sequel to Beartown, because I know it's going to be an emotionally exhausting read.

My choice is probably Beartown.

I'm going to be starting Lonesome Dove on my vacation later this week, for the first time.

I think they're referencing the Rams (NFL) with their comment. The Blues won the Cup in 2019 (that parade was nuts, it was fucking freezing out and there were hundreds of thousands of us in the streets partying). The Cardinals won the World Series in 2006 and 2011 most recently.
