So what was everyone's book they read way too young?

If you're reviewing a comic (or movie or music or whatever), don't commit what I call the "pizza burrito" fallacy: when, after eating a burrito, you say "that was the worst pizza I've ever eaten." Review what's there on its own merits, not what you wish was there. Your preference doesn't matter.

“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”
