obviously the comic is wildly cringe

nobody gonna mention the OP quotes Michael Jackson as their only addition to the post besides the title?

Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Just finished book 1 earlier this year, looking forward to getting to the rest of them.

I was looking for McCarthy ITT. I'm going to read Blood Meridian this year after listening to the audiobook years ago. I read The Road around the same time and struggled to get through it because it was so absolutely dreary. I get it obviously I just wanted to say that.

I would recommend also No Country For Old Men as I thought it was all the things McCarthy is amazing at but isn't so violent as the Judge's gang or as consistently hopeless as the world of The Road. It's paced like a thriller while still having an amazing villain. Talking about CM makes me think I should reread these books. I was just out of college when I read/listened to them.

I can see the TV from my station at work and we usually play cartoons and children's shows and stuff. This weekend featured an episode of "What's New Scooby Doo?" (2006) titled "The Fast and The Wormious." I glanced over at the TV during a second of peace to see what looked like a Wacky Racers tribute and saw the captions read something about "El Gusano" and I had a fidel-wut moment.

So I just looked it up, the monster of the week was "Gusano Grande."

I'm sorry I was too diplomatic in my response to the question. I've been gone a while, I feel like I need to "be civil" everywhere online. It wont happen again.

"Leninism without Marxism" seems almost as contradictory as "Marx without all the Engles bullshit" like from the hexbear/lemmy.ml/.world lib thread. I am but a baby theory reader but I get the feeling Lenin believed he was advancing Marxist thought. I'm curious what it means to her. What does she credit to Lenin that separates him from Marx from in a meaningful enough way to ID that way?
