Uggg this is so good but I really need to sleeeeeep

My first Sanderson in 2 years. Only listening to this because a coworker airdropped the entire Sanderson audiobook collection to me

This has me sensibly chuckling

If I were Bertie I would have manslaughtered Edwin by now

Pro tip: read Wodehouse at the beach while your friend reads a different Wodehouse right next to you so you can both chuckle and read aloud different quotes. It’s what Emma M Lion would do

Attempted Wendell Berry but Josh “butt-face” Hammingh was being annoying so I switched to this (more attention-grabbing)

This book understands how dull and useless secondary sources are

“I’ve been wondering, though. Is it truly being good if the only reason I behave well is so that I can get more loot at Christmas? I mean, really, all I’m doing is saying I can be bribed. Is that good enough, or do I have to be good in my heart and spirit? In other words, do I really have to BE good or just ACT good?”
- casual Calvin and Hobbes quote

Let’s see if I can finish it this week…

A great book to listen to while reorganising my bookshelves

Nonononononononooooo

Boss fight boss fight

Ahahhh the twist I’ve been waiting for

“Why not shoot yourself, instead of finish one more excellent manuscript with which to gag the world?”

This is starting to feel like a DnD campaign. A good one, but still, probably more fun to play than read. I understand the episodic structure of the book and I am afraid Abercrombie will stick to it til the end. Can’t believe I’m not even halfway through. Give me more fake theology please!

Finished October….I need to get out of bed

Annotating the heck out of this
