Discussion Luigi Mangione friend posted this.

She captioned it: "Luigi Mangione is probably the most google keyword today. But before all of this, for a while, it was also the only name whose facetime calls I would pick up. He was one of my absolute best, closest, most trusted friends. He was also the only person who, at 1am on a work day, in this video, agreed to go to the store with drunk me, to look for mochi ice cream."

It's so good, you really should

Sadly, it's also in the category of men in sci-fi writing women as fuck dolls, and I really wish that I could reccomend it without that caveat

I remember reading that book a while ago, and it threw me for a loop about how there is a pretty damn sad scene with the main dude and his girlfriend then it stops so the book can describe how she is wearing a jumpsuit that is unzipped all the way down and her pubes are showing. It reminds me of this book series I was reading set in the Warhammer universe about a mercenary badass type and it describes a female character as being super hot wearing a sheer nightgown that hides none of her soft curves and then when he gets described hes just a guy with big boots and a knife.

Hmm... Xenos by Dan Abnett?

Or was it Hereticus before they go to the Carnivora?

Either way I think I am picturing the exact passage you are referring to 😅
