That book literally changed my life the first time I read it. So we can absolutely be best friends. I’m impatiently waiting for the English translation of book four to come out in January.
i had the same reaction to it. I read it my last semester of undergrad. I've since gotten the audiobook and listen to it every couple years. The narrator is incredible and its a fun new way to experience it. You should check it out
Finished The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay this morning. Really enjoyed it. Now I'll be starting to reread the Harry Potter books for podcasting purposes. I'm sure I'll read other books while I do that since it might end up being more of a skim for HP.
Will do! The plan is to do one per book, so I'll post them here as I get them up. Won't all be in a row but maybe one a month going forward. Not sure on the scheduling just yet.
just finished Dostoyevsky’s Brothers K absolute fucking masterpiece so pissed he never got to write the follow up it is self contained and a wonder but it also sets the stage for so much awesomeness we will never read a true fucking master

Would anyone be interested in doing a Wheel of Time book club? I’ve been dragging my feet in book two for a while for no reason and would love a group of people reading along with me. Obviously we’d start with Eye of the World still.
Me, in th the middle of a different fantasy book club: I probably don’t have the time. Also Me, lifelong WoT junkie: LETS GO
Yeah something like that, you don’t even need to read along if you don’t want to. Will just be nice to have more people in the discussion.
I’m about halfway done with the series for the first time. I wouldn’t go back and reread the earlier books but I’d hop in on the discussion
I don’t remember that being a problem, it’s regularly frequented by people getting into the series for the first time
currently in the middle of book 4 of WoT and fucking hate it. I think its one of those things that if its one of your first epic fantasies than its great. but if you are pretty seasoned, then the limitations are impossible to ignore
I read A LOT of fantasy and I disagree, although I'd say book four is not nearly far enough to have real thoughts on the series anyway. If anything, that's the problem WoT has, haha.
I've finished 8 books now and have had some real ups and downs. There's been some books I've loved, while books 7 and 8 have been a slog to get through (which I've heard this section I'm reading now is generally seen as the slowest/worst books of the series). I hope I find the ending of the series more enjoyable cause right now the thought of still having 6 more books to read is pretty daunting.
