In Topic: Reading at t'moment?
03 June 2025 - 08:02 PM
Fine, I spent a credit and I'll follow you two as usual. It'll be a few weeks until I get to it though as I'm trying to finish up a few series I've been chipping away at first.
My current listen is TALES FROM THE CAFE by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. A friend of mine that knows how much I enjoy Murakami's works suggested this one to me, which was slightly misleading as they're really not very similar.
It's the second book in the series and starts with BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD. The premise is that there's a coffee shop that allows people to travel in time to save a conversation with another person that has visited that shop to have a conversation that lasts the length of time that it takes for a cup of coffee to get cold. The stories aren't always the most heartwarming, but they're an interesting portrayal of the concept of how a single conversation can entirely change one's perception of a scenario and usually and up leaving me with a feeling of hope. All that is to say that I'm enjoying these quite a lot. -

It's taking this long because i keep rereading/listening to large sections multiple times as soon as i've finished them.
I'm taking my time for similar reasons, but also cause I'm re-reading Dresden at the same time and alternating, but yeah it's SO much fun!
Even the mild banter "I should have quit after Byzantium" "You always say that" or "The Kingdom of Naples is right out, obviously" "Obviously" both getting repeated as just rote blank banter between the group...it makes everything feel so lived in. I'm going to be sad when I'm done with this one.
Just Finished... i am blown away and devastated in equal parts. More once i relisten to the last few chapters.
How well do you two think this will adapt to the big screen? I ask because... Reasons.

Dnf on THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS. First book on the classics read that I haven't been able to finish but this book was full of awful awful stuff. To the point where I won't even put this in a little library to pass it on. -

Going to interrupt my Malazan listen through in order to listen to that one!
Damnit, I think we have a later release in the States for this one. I preordered it but it's not due to arrive until August.
May 22 via audible.com.
Apparently the audiobook is hitting before the physical release. Might have to get some more credits to tide me over until renewal in August. -

I don't remember if I've seen you mention starting these yet, Abyss. If you haven't, you really need to. These are definitely right up your alley.
they remain just outside of the trp... i'm resistive because the unwashed unsophisticated masses keep raving about these, but i'm being worn down.
Oh, I understand. I held off too. Until unwashed forumites started speaking up as well. This should really be near the top of your trp though. It has a cat that shoots magic missiles from it's eyes like lasers and this quote tells you what you need to know about the tone:
"Did we really just start a meth war between the goblins and the llamas?"
