My algo to me: "I will pack your sweet pink mouth with so much content, you'll be the envy of every Jerry and Jane on the block!"

My reading rabbit hole recently has been esoteric fiction (Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco, Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse) anything that has to do with bizarre symbolism and layered meaning where you have to let the mysticism and semiology wash over you.

Lastly, a mostly epistolary novel I read a few years back and loved: The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard. Netflix released a film adaptation which I haven't seen, but the shifting perspectives of a retired police detective and West Point cadet Edgar Allan Poe trying to solve a murder was so well done.

It feels like maybe your algo has some nefarious intentions for you and your sweet pink mouth that we shouldn't get into here. What you, ChatGPT, Jerry, and Jane do in the privacy of your own homes is none of my business.

Adding all of those to my TBR! I'd be pretty curious to see how well an epistolary piece can be adapted in to a different format.
