I am SLOGGING through this book. I've contemplated giving up many times but then our DM introduced Tasslehoff briefly in our recent campaign based in the Dragonlance world and I was way too proud that I knew the character. Now I feel like I'm shackled to this boring ass book for the sake of knowing some lore.

Why is this book so boring 😭

"This is one of the things I'm afraid of. The agonies, the mad midnight moments, must, in the course of nature, die away. But what will follow? Will there come a time when I no longer ask why the world is like a mean street, because I shall take the squalor as normal? Does grief finally subside into boredom tinged by faint nausea?" oof...

I mean… ?

I didn't have a good term for the "multiple part-time jobs" lifestyle that I've adopted as an adult until now... "A portfolio worker develops a range or 'portfolio' of careers, each of which they do part-time...Adopting the more positive Renaissance perspective, pursuing several careers at the same time is a way of thriving and being true to our multiple selves".

I usually don't write any reviews or progress updates for books I read however, this one I feel needs explanation because I'm embarrassed to be reading this. It's for a bookclub, and we all hate it. It was supposed to be ironic but now it's just sad.
