you don't even know half of it. For some reason, italian (as opposed to french) has evolved to be particuarly permeable to anglicisms

Exile is clearly the best Stones album. The prior albums are worth anything only because you need a massively spent band to pull it off. The party peaked but it beats going home. It's an album haunted by the spectre of the comedown. Every song ends with a fade out for a reason.

Dobbiamo diventare il paese meno ospitale al mondo. Ci hanno fregato per due secoli 'sti invertebrati qua.
Rapire i turisti, chiedere il riscatto, venderne gli organi.
Qualsiasi cosa รจ meglio del cameriere eterno.

Lit fic covers should look like this. I wanna see Leo Bloom hacking off an orcโs head with a glaive
This book opens with a perceptive selection of lines from Osip Mandelstam about death and is as much about the fragmented nature of personal-historical knowledge and what constitutes technology as anything else, but the cover does it dirty. Spec Fic needs better covers.

I want a Pynchon re-novelization of Ready Player One
More Reddit bullshit from Pynchon. Who does this guy think he is, an anime poet?
