This might be a bit of yelling into the void, as it's a bit of a niche connection. Still, I just finished TSH and could not shake the feeling that the second half of the book felt oddly familiar.

Later, it dawned on me that it's very similar to the game Doki Doki Literature Club! Obviously, DDLC came out long after TSH, and it's unlikely that it's an intentional reference, but I thought the trope was interesting.

Notably, both media have a "mastermind" (Henry / Monika) that, after an initial catalyst death (Farmer or Bunny / Sayori), drives the other characters into madness. Most interestingly, both involve the already bad traits of the characters getting amplified to an unbearable degree. Figured it was an interesting comparison and worth sharing!

Hey! I'm a college student, and my dad and one of my mentors are very into ham radio. I'm an electrical engineering student, and the subject has always been cool to me. Wanting some motivation to learn, I started a ham radio club at my college!

Now, I find myself in over my head. Any advice on where to start without getting overwhelmed with info? I'm studying for my license this summer, but I want some hands-on experience beyond memorization. Thanks!

Hey! I'm roughly halfway through The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and have been consistently blown away by the prose and depth of the characters. I was wondering what the general consensus was. Is it considered a modern classic?

Similarly, I'm curious if there are any books/authors that you would place in a similar category. The category being that they will likely be regarded as masterpieces once they age enough. Something about this book felt far detached from its time, much more like reading a critically acclaimed classic. Thanks!
