I would like to support the therapy idea. Some professional feedback changed my life

Reply to When to buy book series? by CornerOk5337
I am kind of weird and am averse to owning a book unless (1) I know I will be rereading it often or (2) I have not read it yet and know I will donate it after I finish reading it.
Otherwise, I like to support the local library and read there.

Reply to Book Journaling: Is it only novels? by Cynisterlife
It’s personal! But if you’re asking what other people do, I think the most popular “book accounts” do focus on novels.
I however use Goodreads for mine (because I would lose any physical book journal I started). I love that I can see everything over the past 10+ years. And to answer your question, I include art books such as the Howl’s one you mentioned, manga, and even online webtoon comics.

Love this comparison. I agree that he is highly skilled but is not most people’s cup of tea.

I wholeheartedly disagree with you. In my opinion, he may not be everyone (or even most people)’s cup of tea but he is irrefutably a “good writer” by virtue of creating such an intricate and complete piece of writing as TSATF. The book was written to be read 1.5 times and is in many ways a puzzle.
But if by good writer you mean “enjoyable and easy to read” then I guess you’re right. But I find most Faulkner fans find their enjoyment in the analysis and many easter eggs as opposed to the raw narrative.

I did not know there was a full color edition of TSATF!

I can’t stand the dark shirtless / scandalous book covers that are just sexualizing men and women. I cannot read a book with a cover like that, even if the book itself is harmless

Reply to comment by True-Abbreviations71 in Is Dostojevsky a bad author? by True-Abbreviations71
I LOVE Dostoyevsky but I do not think that he is necessarily easy or even enjoyable to read. But I did find Crime and Punishment genuinely transformative and I learned a lot about how to write from him as well. I think the power of his work is less in the pace or the prose and more in the powerful concepts and how he carries the reader to new destinations

Reply to How to read more books and less fanfiction? by ccRumandChickenWings
Nothing wrong with fanfiction! But I’d say find books you relate to!
Top recommendation is the book Fangirl. Not sure if you’ve already read it but it’s about a young woman who does write fanfiction and it’s incredible, especially for a fangirl myself.
