I'm gonna take my sweet ass time reading this. I've been postponing it for too long. IT IS TIME.

There is an absurd amount of references to V. by Thomas Pynchon in City of Glass, and I'm not saying it just because I just finished the book. I'm not crazy.

This Paul Auster/Daniel Quinn/William Wilson guy sure likes to read a lot of books

The governor's wife is called Mafia and the sewers have marxist rats in V. Crazy book.

Pynchon is fucking crazy, man.

My goat PTA just won three Oscars btw

I'm reading a Spanish translation and it's very funny how the author is obviously from Galicia lmao, Geralt using words like morriña always catches me off guard.

I'm really curious to see how this is all going to wrap up but I've already made up my mind about it.

I'm still reading this! I just finished another quarter! It's crazy because this is clearly the longest a book has taken me in YEARS but I swear I'm loving it lmao. Not in a "let's see where this is going..." I've made up my mind! This is really good!

Oh that's right, I was reading this. Anyway, really good. I'll stick with it! But the parts with Stephen Black dragged and you get the feeling that Norrell just kinda bored himself in the second half of his own section because he ran out of things to do.

not loving this...

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's get this thing started...

It is actually wild how long it's taken me to read this book, but I've been very distracted this year, especially in the last couple of months. Can't be helped! Oh well...

The detective's story is boring. This thing is either the greatest thing I've ever read or trite like a bad fanfic of something I don't know anything about. But, in all honesty, few scifi classics can claim to sit comfortably in such a remarkable midpoint...

That's gotta count...

Hold on, what do you mean Second Holocaust...

Martin's story...oh my God...

If the rest is as good as this was, then we might have a real winner here...

It's giving Aguirre vibes, which is good

This is a serious book. You need to read it slowly. But I'm reading it too slowly on account of the fact that I'm so distracted...

Reread ❤️

Did Random just invoque the name of Christ or was that a creative liberty of the translator? Either way, that´s hilarious. Aren't these people gods???

Life's just simply not getting better and neither is this book!

Life update: it got worse. Book update: it's not making it better!

I don't know what to make out of the book yet, but seeing the main character saying whatever bullshit crosses his mind to mantain his aura is hilarious. Bro does not know what is going on AT ALL lmao

I've more or less already decided that I will not love this book, unfortunately. It is what it is...

We're so back btw, and the book is picking up. Let's see what this is all about...

I'm...so depressed dude, like really going through it right now because of romantic problems. I can't even read lately. I'm basically forcing myself to read this, so hopefully I'm not too unkind to it...

The Weaver is such a fun character... now are we getting those moths or what?

Well, after so much waiting, it seems like the story is finally ready to begin...what do you mean there is only half of the book's length left?
