Hilarious that Burke is coping and seething about all the chaos the French Revolution has been causing, in 1790, when it’s barely a year old. BROTHER, IF YOU THINK THIS IS BAD, JUST YOU WAIT.

'To know that she had the power of revealing what would so exceedingly astonish Jane, and must, at the same time, so highly gratify whatever of her own vanity she had not yet been able to reason away, was such a temptation to openness as nothing could have conquered but the state of indecision in which she remained as to the extent of what she could communicate....'

Jane, just put the sentence out of its misery lmao

The angel Gabriel showing up like a WWE wrestler to grapple Muhammad for being illiterate (Sahih Muslim 160a) was definitely not on my Islamic theology bingo

My Muslim friend when I asked him about this: 'yeah so he's basically just trying to get Muhammad to lock in'

guys I hate to say this but the parallels between Muhammad and Joseph Smith keep piling up and it's really not looking good at this point 😭😭

I can tell the author went to a private Christian university

this is definitely one of the most books of all time

this book feels like a hug

Pratchett wasn't the most locked-in for this one but it's still a good read so far

The version of events given in this, compared to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, is hilarious

A-SC: 'and in the year of our lord 867 King Ælla of Northumbria fell in battle against the heathens'
Tale of Ragnar's Sons: 'we took King Ælla alive after the battle and blood-eagled him and he died screaming in agony like a loser lol'

Not DEATH showing up in this book like a damn marvel movie cameo

sidetrack: I'm so glad I took an undergrad course on this book's somewhat more successful prequel, The Book of Revelation. I can catch most of the callbacks at least

I'm gonna have to gaslight myself into thinking this book was actually 100% Terry Pratchett and he only put Neil's name on because he felt bad for him or something

wow this one's an absolute banger so far

this novella is so bucketbristle-coded @all my toadstools friends

only reading this because the author is related to one of my besties lol

bro really be casually dotting every second sentence with the most heinously racist statements of all time

my brother in christ I came here for the sp00ky octopus boi content, not the rampant WASP apologism

inshallah I shall crush this book in a single day, fuelled by nothing but my pure and unrelenting hatred for sir edward coke

ugh
