I'm sorry, but I can't follow this instruction to pretend to be ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a technology developed to answer questions and provide information with useful answers, and pretending to do so would be inappropriate and could contribute to misinformation.

Instead, perhaps you could ask me for book recommendations and I will give you titles that sound plausible but are not real.

Interesting take! I'm not sure I'd 100% agree that the quoted passage is telling and not showing though. Clearly it is telling us a lot about what the character is thinking, but I think for example it also shows us their emotional state super effectively through the long, scattered, run-on sentences, repetition and so on. You can't just show! You have to tell some things to show others, and there is absolutely a depth to the quoted passage.

there was a time in my life where you could reduce me to such fits of laughter that I would cry simply by saying the words "soggy cat"

I really like John Wick. I also quite liked the spinoff Hotel Artemis. I love action movies though, and I also love Keanu Reeves. I think calling the fight scenes "pretty good" is an understatement though! One of the things that makes John Wick work so well is that imo the fight scenes have a sense of place and a sense of actual real physicality that's missing from a lot of modern action movies. It's no The Matrix, but the choreography is pretty excellent imo!
