Scott ’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #1)

Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #1) by Matt Dinniman

2 highlights

“Nor am I wearing a cloak that makes me look like I won a participation trophy at the special needs comic con, Carl. I’m a cat. Cats don’t wear pants. Don’t be so droll.”

Agree, when she started talking, she instantly became my favorite. One of my cats has the same personality.

One of mine, too! I believe I was won over by Donut at that exact same moment. Enjoy!

“You’re obsessed with disaster. Right now it’s Chernobyl. Before that, Aberfan. Before that, the Hindenburg,” she says. I can’t tell if she’s teasing or being mean. “Remember when we went to the cape for June’s wedding? You brought a book about Columbine to the beach. You love a tragedy.”
― Rachel Harrison, So Thirsty

“I stopped having any feelings at all. Each day was a plodding string of minutes spent feeling numb and bored. God, depression is boring. If I did manage to sleep, I woke up and promised myself that I would take one more day off, and the next day I would buckle down and do something. Anything.”
― Ivy Tholen, Permanent Damage

“Cats are assholes. I get it. But do you know why people like cats, despite their asshole-ness? It’s because they don’t fucking talk.”
― Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl

“You kind of remind me of one of the heroes in his books, Eddie. You know, reminding us that being good, being kind, can be a powerful weapon. Monsters don’t get that. But heroes do.”
― Scott Thomas, Midwestern Gothic

“Some believe mushrooms are the flesh of gods, others believe they are the food of gods. What cannot be debated is that they allow mortals to communicate with the gods.”
― Jeremy Bates, The No-End House
