Now that I have a full week before the next Knicks game, I think it’s finally time to get my brain into reading mode again. Especially because this book is so good that every time I read a few pages I think to myself “damn, I wish I was still reading as frequently as I was back in February and March”. The goal is to finish this by the end of the month (I will fail this goal).

The human brain is an enigma. Like a month ago, reading 20 pages felt like such a small, quick task. Now, it feels much more arduous and like it takes twice as long. This book rocks btw.

Slowly getting back to my quicker reading pace. This book is getting so goddamn good, and the story just keeps building all of these different layers. Williams reintroduces characters from earlier that I completely forgot about but they’re clearly very important, and the world is so expansive that I’m still having a little trouble keeping track of all the geography and sub-cultures. I am excited to read more.

So I have barely been reading ever since I got back from my trip to Boston, but I gotta get back in the reading mindset cause this book is getting so damn good. I hate his my brain just decides to do this sometimes. I need to lock in.

This is slowly but surely building up to something. Or to many things. It seems like Tad (what a cool name Tad is) is planting the seeds of a million different threads and I can’t wait to see where they all lead. A lot of places I haven’t got the hang of and names I don’t know how to pronounce, but I’m having a great time.

I’ve wanted to read this fantasy series for a few years, so I figured now was the time to get into it after I finished my Tolkien deep dive. Apparently these books were a big inspiration on George R.R. Martin’s song of ice and fire, and I know very little about the story. It starts at a slow pace, which I expected and don’t mind, and the world and characters have been set up very well. I’m excited to read on
