chamomilegeode-deactivated20221 asked: im reading the idiot, have you read it?

Nope – the only Dostoevskys I’ve read are Crime and Punishment and Notes From Underground.  I’ve started a few others but the length and slow initial pace always intimidates me.

chamomilegeode-deactivated20221 asked: i HIGHLY recommend "debt: the first 5000 years," i loved the SHIT out of it and recommend it to anyone who seems like they might read it, partially altruistically but partially bc i want to talk to somebody about the plausibility of the weirder and fascinatinger claims

Thanks for the rec!  I think I’ll make it my next big nonfiction book after Better Angels.

chamomilegeode-deactivated20221 asked: do you get the impression that "mask of face" was the friend who had to choose their twitter name last and didn't totally understand the naming rules

It’s definitely one of the more awkward ones, although scrolling down the page I think I’m most baffled by “Father of Nun”

OTOH there was “Musician of Note” which seemed awkward until I realized it was a pun
