Took a break to read Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advide for Murderers...its cute so far. My wife and a bunch of people in her book club all gave it a thumbs up.
Still working my way through the Malazan books. Finished Deadhouse Gates...which was just a heavy and brutal book. Starting Memories of Ice now. Also reading Fake Accounts for something a little lighter, and shorter.
In hindsight, I would say that slotting it in after book 5 is a good point. Obviously can't go back to see what it would be like to have that be the first experience, but still stand by that position.
Also if you're close to finishing the series, I would just knock that out. It gets rolling...
Adanys! It's so wonderful to see you back.
I'm also one who could not resist the call of returning to these halls.
(Also, after looking at the pronunciation thread for your name, I apparently have been way off for years.)
I read a bunch of Gene Wolfe ages ago, and feel like I really need to revisit his works.
Currently reading through Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson...I shall finish the Malazan series one day before I retire.
I have been summoned!
But yes, I absolutely love this book. It 100% is not for everyone and absolutely took me a while to work my way through, but it was an experience I'll remember.
It's also one that I can't see being able to be experienced other than through an actual copy. A digital copy...
Probably speaks volumes to the fact that I saw the ring and was like....who in this series has a distinctive ring.
I literally always just imagined it as a circular ring, (sure there's several reasons why)
This has supplanted the tower design as my current biggest disconnect.
Still super...
From what I've noticed on my phone, signatures don't show up when on mobile in portrait, but do in landscape. Could also be mobile/setting specific I suppose.
I'll try to drop in for a bit just to see how things go and then attempt to make next month's as a participant.
Just to verify, is the start time EST or PST?
