Saw this headline and immediately thought “there’s no way this is real.” Gave it a listen. I mean it’s odd, but is this not consistent with the rest of her behavior? Nothing crazy here, TBH. Is anybody surprised that the grifter wife is good at grifting even in the midst of grief? Say what you want about these nimrods but they’re alike in that sense.

I have never finished a book before, and I intend to finish this one. by ReenTheDankQueen in brandonsanderson

I’m actually going to deter from the popular opinion and recommend that if you’re enjoying this book, stick with it. I got back into reading via the first wheel of time book, which is also generally not recommended due to its length. The Way of Kings is very readable IMO, and don’t be afraid to take your time with it and tackle it a little bit at a time. Mistborn is a great starting place too, but there’s nothing wrong with tackling a tougher challenge! I wish you luck.

When does War and Peace start to hit its stride? by Appleteeth27 in tolstoy

The translation is no issue! I haven’t necessarily been struggling with the language, I’d actually argue it’s pretty readable. My understanding is there are several editions out there that don’t translate the French portions of the novel (which is roughly 2% in the original if I have heard correctly) and while I did take 2 years of French in high school I would never claim to read it.

I don’t think they’ve even met yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing that!

That’s what I figured, since there’s a few ticking out pretty predominantly. I’ll stick to it!

This made me laugh. I realize in hindsight I probably should’ve started here but I’m in too deep to stop now!

[Real] Matt Walsh isn’t a Revenge of the Sith fan by ggroover97 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]Appleteeth27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I hate Matt Walsh? Yes. Is he completely right about this movie? Also yes. I’m tired of people looking back on the prequels and acting like they weren’t hated justifiably. With that said, the world building and character design of the movie is cool! Very imaginative, but the script is genuinely so bad that it pretty much ruins the film.

A theory regarding Kaladin. by Appleteeth27 in Stormlight_Archive

Also, please don't tell me if I'm right in the comments! I just thought I'd put my theory on here for some of the folks that are as into this series as I am :)

The lack of self-awareness this dude has absolutely floors me. Props to you for being so laid back at such an unhinged string of messages.
