I finished Moby Dic a couple of days ago. Next i’ll pick up Pale Fire by Nabokov. I started reading that book a few months ago and stoped after the poem because i was reading it before sleep and couldn’t focus well. Even though I still remember what happened and took a few notes, I decided to start from the beginning again.

It's unironically really bad and it's just painfully obvious that it was written for parents with absolutely 0 thought to whether the kid you're reading it to will enjoy it.
Also, for those without kids, going to the library is a fricking awful experience because at least 50% of the books are "shovel diversity down the kids throats" and most of them are explicit about it. It's mostly propaganda and I don't know if it was always like this, but it's so transparent that it's offensive to me. At this point I'd unironically prefer if they were about God and Jesus, just so people could stop pretending that it wasn't an explicit campaign to indoctrinate the youth via public services.

Yeah the promoted stuff is trash. I wish I could go to a bookstore, pick out any fantasy novel, and enjoy a new experience.
But if I did I’d be stuck with YA ninety percent of the time.

Do parents actually buy this shit? It looks like some Fox News parody, and I can’t imagine anyone but single millennial white women buying it as a gift for their nephews or something.

This but unironically, there are some great stories in the Bible, a few of which (like Jesus multiplying bread) are family friendly.
