I think you just summed up Rolling Stone Magazine’s business plan? 🤣 😉
 
Click bait; really no better than the crazy tabloid headlines in the grocery aisle.
 
I used to read GQ back in the 80s from time to time. I have not picked it up since then. It just looks like a muscle magazine now, based on the cover. Just a rag for “roids.”

Gentlemen’s Quarterly. It’s a magazine for guys.

I don’t know that I have ever actually read the magazine. But I had a friend in college who we’d call “GQ” just because he was always well dressed. 😁
 
Utterly ridiculous list, obviously…but to say that Lord of the Rings is unreadable?? Barbarians!

Really?

A magazine for guys about clothing???

Really???

People read that cr^p?
 
Ernest Hemingway … eeew. Some of the most depressing garbage I’ve read. Right up there with Steinbeck and Faulkner. And they wonder why kids want to eat handguns, hang themselves, etc.
 
They always wanted me for my brains and my good manners.

Why would I be interested in women who are preoccupied with clothing and make-up?
 
I read plenty. It’s part of my job description.

If I recall from back in the day, Of Mice and Men features the normal brother killing the retarded brother at the end of the book because he’s tired of the retarded brother screwing everything up. Yes, there will be rabbits blam.

With regard to the Grapes of Wrath, why not read about Hoovervilles, the Dust Bowl, the mass panic over bank liquidity and massive stock market speculation, and the other things that were associated with and/or contributed to The Great Depression?

The Old Man and the Sea is basically about pursuing your goal only to have it ripped away from you at the last minute. Small wonder that Hemingway ate a shotgun at his home down in Florida. I also toss into that category “Where the Red Fern Grows,” “The Yearling,” and all the other required reading books about people getting screwed over by the fickle finger of fate.

Just saying that one doesn’t need to read morbidly depressing materials to realize that life can indeed suck.
