I've been wanting to read some fantasy **** for a bit. I started reading the last Song of Fire and Ice book, Dance with Dragons cause I only got a bit into that a few years ago but now I'm remembering that that book was kind of boring cause I'm 80 pages in and absolutely nothing has happened but I know that Tyrion likes food. Then I decided to reread the first Dragonlance book.

The Dragonlance series is everything you ever thought was cliched about fantasy literature, but as I remember it's vastly fun with highly likable characters and a universe that is very atmospheric and feels like the adventure you always wished you could have before you realized that you could never have that adventure.

I'm at an age where I should scoff at this kind of book but right now all I want to do is lose myself in it and find that same joy that I'll never ever have from reading Game of Thrones. **** all of you cause Tasslehof the joyful halfling making fun of Flint the grumpy dwarf makes me happier than anything any of you will ever do for me.

Something to listen to while you read


Don't know why it says "Spanish". It's a British band.

I just started this. It’s strange to think that even in 1968 they were so cognizant of the fact that most humans who have ever existed are dead. It’s not like that weird, but I found it an odd way to start a book from that era.

Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy, the dramatic retelling of a D&D adventure run by 14-year-olds who decide to play murder hobos and say things they think are deep.

Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews. It's one of those books that it seems like everyone has read, but I've somehow never gotten around to. The dialogue is really stiff, but the book itself is not as bad as I thought it would be.

A series of interconnected vignettes centering around people in music industry. I’m really enjoying it so far. I dig her writing style.

Yeah - that’s actually a big part of the theme - building on our ancestors accomplishments

It’s an incredible unassailable book. And unlike D&D that kind of **** really happened.

I loved that book. Super fast pace and dark af.

My old notes when I was younger and so hopefull. :)
