So my pace has slowed down a bit again as I've started another brick of a book - THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV by Dostoyevsky. I'm about 20% in and just thoroughly impressed with this book. The pulpy soap opera involving the romantic entanglements of the family pairs so well with the chunks of philosophical arguments. -

Here's a quandary for the forum.
Have made an agreement with a friend, that I would read the first 2 crown of Thorns and roses books, the trade of was that I could give her 2 books to read.
(She then insisted one was the book I am forever writting(read not))
What books to issue?
Do I go for something epic and classic like magician? straightforward like Legend? Grubby and fun like Low town? Dark and a great into like the Blade itself?
Is this a sex thing?
What's her fantasy go tos? ....more 'Thing of Stuff and Whatevers'?

If she's into a Court of Thorns and Roses (my wife reads those!), then you should lean that way...not in romance department, but fantasy setting layout department.
I don't know what you have to lend her....what about De Castell's Greatcoats (I'm not just saying that cause I'm re-reading it right now.
? Or how about The LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA...
that's a good point, Mac what do you actually have sitting around to offerassuming this is not in fact a sex thing?
So I have been known to offer book trades in my social circle as wellit is not in fact a sex thingand here are a few of the books that have tended to go over well generally.
THE GOLEM AND THE GINNI by Helene Wecker
THE LIBRARY AT MOUNT CHAR by Scott Hawkins
ANNIHILATION by Jeff VanderMeer
PIRANESI by Susanna Clark -

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.
