    I enjoy your content but I especially love the wry humour and self awareness that never fail to make me chuckle

    It's a good thing that there are BookTubers out there doing this, as my fury at some of these shallow and idiotic reviews would get the better of me...

    There is a sense in which Romeo and Juliet sort of isn't about a cis het couple. Juliet would have been played by a boy.

      But I'm not sure the ideologues mean it in such a historically shrewd way! 🤣

    I am never able to fully fathom why some people seem to believe that not only is their infantile and woefully ignorant opinion on a range of subjects of immense value to others but that it is worthy of being published on the internet for the edification of the greater population.

    No worldbuilding?! No character arcs?! True. But Jeeves is hilarious. Also very little existentialism unless you count the novel Spindrift maybe: Did you ever read Spindrift?" I asked, retrieving the soap.
    "I skimmed through it, sir."
    "What did you think of it? Go on, Jeeves, don't be coy. The word begins with an l."
    "Well, sir, I would not go so far as to apply to it the adjective which I fancy you have in mind, but it seemed to me a somewhat immature production, lacking in significant form. My personal tastes lie more in the direction of Dostoyevsky and the great Russians. Nevertheless, the story was not wholly devoid of interest and might quite possibly have its appeal for the theater-going public."
    So maybe "loathsome" ?
