It was pretty good. Hearing Meryl sing terribly is interesting because she’s so good

That is true. Sex isn’t the main focus and there’s more slow building of sexual tensional and anticipation than actual sex. The world building and story is great with some great action chapters.

When Women Were Dragons a great standalone book reimaging the 1950 based on women spontaneously turning into dragons. It’s a concept book where a sociality issue is examined by fantasy tropes which are fun. Worth reading if you haven’t done a female perspective novel or concept novel in a while.

Fourth Wing and the rest of the Empyrean series. It’s technically Romantasy (romance/fantasy) and it’s super popular now. But it’s got good world building, dragons and sex in it. If you have never done a Romantasy it’s worth a read even if you don’t think you will like romance novels.

Babel it’s a fantasy historical account of oxford. It’s beautiful and wonderful. The author also has a series Poppy Wars which is good but it’s dark. But Babel is best.

I have gone in bursts devouring those books. There’s a little too much nerd boy fantasy insert in the first book. (The skinny loner who dressed bad has WAY too many beautiful women into him). But it’s pulp so it’s expected. Besides it gets so good.

Can’t say no to gritty magic crime noir.

All Vonnegut is worth reading

I loved Fritz Leiber Swords. If you like DnD it’s definitely what built lots of tropes from it. Also the episodic nature is a fun fast read

As a straight man I am attracted to women. I have seen plenty AFAB enbys who are attractive. I have also seen plenty of AMAB trans women who are attractive. I have seen plenty of AFAB women who are attractive.

I once heard that sexual attraction is just a vibe and I really like that description. So if they hit my vibe I am in.

It’s a hugely impactful play and the Emcee shows huge changes in it. We had so many audible gasps at the end of the gorilla number

It’s a beautiful show and really timely. Orville Peck can really sing. Was he wearing his fringe facemask as the Emcee?

Meryl Streep played her in a biopic. It was great

Cabaret at the end of 2025. It was haunting and beautiful
