Every weekend, she would smoke at parties, and every Monday, she would quit smoking once again.įor me, quitting Twitter was more like Hemmingway’s going broke: slowly then all at once. I had a friend in college who was very good at quitting smoking. Review: The This by Adam Roberts Wednesday, August 10, 2022
