reading a book I wrote so i can make some edits. it's p. good I think Finished Go Set A Watchman the other day. loved all of it until, like, the last ten pages when she kind of handwaves a lot of issues for a happy-ish ending. Now I dunno how to feel about racism.

I just finished Dictionary of the Khazars and it was really good but I’m an insanely dumb millennial whose brain has been destroyed by irony poisoning, so I have no idea what it was about.

I'm reading Blood Meridian and i love it so much. Haven't read a good book in a long time, I reread the part with the Comanche raid like 20 times. The west was way hosed up guys, super violent.

A good life hack is putting a really long interesting book near your toilet and reading a chapter or two every time you poop

I've read a lot of books and the immediacy of the internet is much more entertaining than dead prose.

i'm reading the water margin because i'm a human being nerd who liked suikoden on the playstation when i was a kid the prologue chapter was boring af but everything else is great. shi jin laying down sick burns in the first chapter and lu da making GBS threads and pissing everywhere and generally being the worst monk in all of china, and hanging out naked in a dark room to trick a bandit into thinking he's a hot babe so he can kick the guy's rear end Fur20 fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Sep 7, 2015 |

The White Dragon posted:i'm reading the water margin because i'm a human being nerd who liked suikoden on the playstation when i was a kid i read all the classic chinese novels a couple years ago. they are good, but can get a bit boring because the narrative expectations are very different from those we have today. water margin gets tedious after the 90th episode where a hero brains xyz after abc because dfg and has to go into hiding; but it's still pretty baller, and i really like that every single hero is exhaustively described with a consistent formula, starting with his hat or whatever and working down to his boots, poo poo like that. wu song kills the tiger is a good storyline, and if you like his arc, you should check out Jin Ping Mei, which is a tremendous and very modern satirical novel about moral bankruptcy.

Spent like 300 bucks on books to help me re-learn to read my mother tongue, which I've kinda lost proficiency in over the years. Mostly genre stuff and easy reading..

The second one is a bit meh - haven't quite convinced myself to slog through the rest. Check out The Lies of Locke Lamora as well - good stuff

The forever war is good, similar to starship troopers, but with more hard science fiction.
