chat up strangers on the streets, def a skill i wish to develop

My favourite books are "John Dies at the End" by David Wong and "A Tale for the Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki, "Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise" by Lin Yi-han, and "The Suicide" play by Nikolai Erdman. Now that I wrote it out it feels like quite a lot, but I'm not a big reader and it takes a lot from a book to drive me in... So these ones are combinations of silliness, wisdom and trauma that speak to me deeply.
