best and worst of times
seems like charles dickens should just
make up his damn mind

it’s crushingly long
family drama and war
sadly there’s no peace

she’s just twelve years old
how is humbert not in jail?
nabakov needs help

the roaring twenties
a mediocre gatsby
awed by extreme wealth

melville and whaling
did it need to be so long?
I get obsession
