I read The Contract With God trilogy by Will Eisner, it was pretty good. I gotta trust the Goodreads recommendations more.
I also read The Exorcist, was actually not scary. It was obscene, and I'm not for censorship or anything like that, but I notice a huge difference between how men write sexual violence and how women and everyone else writes sexual violence. Like I notice with men it feels more gratuitous, its shocking and gross but it also doesn't feel as horrible as it should be; in the Exorcist yeah the demon making Regan masturbate in front of everyone is gross and what I mean when I say obsence, and its truly the worst the book has to offer. But its gross for the spectator, Regan herself is totally unaffected, has no memory, is not traumatized, etc, it has nothing to do with her. The movie did include those scenes only it was way toned down and overall I think the movie is way scarier and way better.
Now reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.
