there's so much lore around your dua lipa joe biden bookclub... feel blessed everytime you update us on it

[@ashf6055]

East of Eden is such a slay. Cathy's character arc is one of the most unhinged things I've ever read.

[@theapenning8944]

You deserve an oscar for that acting performance!

[@karissaridge8145]

it must be so hard for all the oppressed free-thinkers out here, we will rise up guys ‼️‼️

It’s the summer of reading tree-books 😎 The Overstory - People in the Trees - Underland Slay

[@rjapeth1022]

As someone that lives in California, it is definitely an eternal summer here

[@hkqtt]

Shawn, you are my favorite KZbinr, (and by that I mean my current adhd hyperfixation KZbin channel which may randomly lose all momentum at any given moment) but I normally would’ve been bored and on to the next channel by now, ur just unhinged enough to keep my squirrel brain here😗!also shh keep the secret society under wraps we don’t want any plebes sneaking in

[@CrispyTaters]

East of Eden, yay, about time! You’ve had it on your shelf 5ever.

[@renepierre9074]

Ugh, I'd do anything to be able to read The Overstory for the first time again. Such an incredible book. Also Jane, that book made me never want to write again.

[@Mykye]

East of Eden is one my favorite books of all time. It has great characters great story like each character has their own arcs. I really hope you'll like it.

[@rhifri4398]

I read East of Eden for the first time last year and it’s my all time favourite. I’ve thought about Cathy every day since

[@Mykye]

@@rhifri4398 Lee Cal and Cathy are my fav characters Samuel too

[@rhifri4398]

@@Mykye when Lee was first introduced I thought ohhhh no, this is going to get racist isn’t it? But Lee ended up being one of the most intelligent fictional characters I’ve ever come across. Brilliant writing.

[@ccherries11]

im so excited to see someone else read “empire of pain” !! it’s a great read, cant wait to see your review :)

[@izzypdf]

[@shawnmccomb]

[@jasmine9584]

Hearing you talk about mosses and trees after spending an entire day memorizing tones of shit about it for my botanic exam tmrw hurts my brain ( and yes they're cool love them )

[@cindyo6298]

I need to read East of Eden (even though I've always hated Steinbeck), and I've been wanting to read the Slynx.

[@merryberry423]

I’m not in your book club but I think you should do empire of pain 🤠

[@librarianinthesky]

Jane is excellent 💗 The Argonauts is my favorite Maggie Nelson. Also yes to Empire of Pain for bookclub.

[@boy_topics]

You made up the plot to the Slynx I'm convinced

[@icomment45]

0:35 What the frick man, what did you have to say that I had the volume at its fullest and there were ppl around me

[@Ryusevi]

If you're looking for a visual companion piece to Empire Of Pain, I can highly recommend the documentary "All The Beauty And The Bloodshed", which is about artist Nan Goldin's personal life, which was touched by Oxycontin, and her fight to have art galleries remove the Sacklers' names and to refuse future donations.

[@beatricelucas385]

Empire of pain is so good but it’ll make you it REALLY angry!

[@monicaciortan-tudor9094]

[@emjayforster325]

1. Four months later and you're still a Pretty Boi. Aging well! 2. I didn't know you had two friends. 3. I've seen Biden with a flame thrower. She's his VP. 4. Finding the Mother Tree is flipping excellent! When you run through that beautiful nature area you.. run through.. you will start to hear the trees talking. They are saying things. Do not repeat them.

[@tooralooriley]

shawn was literally a hamilton stan...he's just like me fr
