I previously posted my current nightstand readings. What do my actual bookshelves say about me? (More in storage but sadly my place isn’t big enough to accommodate them).
A rotating “shelf” and other shelves to come, but let’s start small 😊
I mean I get it…the click brings you to the Steam Link but come on.
This will be I think my 8th version of Divine Comedy or Inferno (DC is one of my all time favorites). Had to share and gush. I’m in love with the binding, the aesthetics, the illustrations. I don’t believe I’ve read the Kirkpatrick translation yet (Ciardi is my favorite), but I’m excited to give it a reread to see how it hits! I’m so happy right now.
Ka·rent | /kəˈrent/ | n.
An aggressively entitled, officious, or otherwise boundary-deficient parent of a school-age child, typically distinguished by a complete absence of common decency and an unshakeable conviction that their child can do no wrong.
Examples of use:
1. “Why did you penalize my son for cheating just because he had the answers to the test?!” screamed the Karent of the perpetrator.
“My mom told me I shouldn’t go to the detention you assigned me for disrupting class and not doing my work,” said the student. “What a Karent,” I thought.
“Why can’t my child’s 23% be rounded up to a C?!!” the Karent fumed on the last day of school*
Natural Habitat & Behavior
The common North American Karent (progenitus entitledus) is most readily identified by its trademark three-part email rant, reliably transmitted at 2:00 a.m. and riddled with grammatical errors and excessive punctuation. Scholars note the species exhibits a near-total incapacity for self-awareness, often demanding immediate responses to said emails by 8:05 a.m. the following morning.
