Beaumont, Dahl, and Kafka are among my favorites. A lot of people aren’t familiar with Dahl’s weird fiction for adult readers. I binged them during lockdown in 2020.

You know my thoughts on Beaumont already 👌🏽. Dahl's short fiction is excellent and inspiring. I need to dig into more if his stuff. I recently bought the Everyman's Library of Kafka's Collected Stories. Making up for lost time

Dusted off my Penguin Classics edition of Beaumont tonight btw. Excited to revisit.

A true man of culture. Such good stories.

Fun fact about Kafka is he suffered deeply from the Critical Voice. He hated his work and wanted it destroyed (he thought it deserved to be). Thank God it wasn’t.

Thanks Vin! It's great doing this little recaps to see progress. Hopefully these can help someone else looking to write fiction.
