I'll go back to Stillwater and TGINW after that.
We've been working our way through Redwall recently in between other things - as you say, it's just a lovely balm between heavier things. Been going in chronological order (so starting with Lord Brocktree) and I think my next one is Mariel of Redwall, Mr NAB's next is Outcast of Redwall -

Finished To Kill a Mockingbird. I loved it. Severe book hangover incoming I think. -

Finished Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi last night. I enjoyed it - it's a very quiet read and quite slow, though not in a bad way. Little oddities noticeable that I assume arise from translation. We've got the sequel which I definitely look forward to reading, I think it's just the sort of slow I need to be in the mood for.
Moving on to To Kill a Mockingbird which I've somehow got to just shy of 36 having not read. It's Mr NAB's favourite book, and I read the first 20 pages or so last night and was instantly charmed by the writing. -

I agree, though it's still horrible to see it when it's someone you knew to be so different from that.
I worry about just how many people are too far gone at this point. -

Maark Abbott, on 09 October 2025 - 04:28 PM, said:One time I saw my doctor about something. And they asked me what I reckoned to a potential treatment option. She was very surprised when I said "you're the doctor, we'll try your idea first" because she'd gotten that used to people just not paying attention to her expertise any more. Feels like a microcosm of how stuff is lately.
This is something I've noticed as well - the expectation they won't be trusted/argued with.
I can only back Maark's points, because my dad is an exhaustingly textbook example of this. Doesn't want to hear about an "expert" unless they agree with whatever previously established prejudice he's holding - but anyone who agrees with him, ah well, we don't need to question their expertise at all.
