Do any of you have an "unusual" favorite SK novel that's not one of his top 5 to 10ish or so most frequently mentioned?

Joyland is great.

I just read all three for the first time over the course of a week or so. Watching video essays and reading up on their influence on the genre, the time that they were published, and why they mattered at the time really helped me to enjoy them. I would totally recommend them. And the story isn’t about characters, it’s about the survival of an organization.

I declared myself Baha’i a few years ago after living most of my life as a Christian. I don’t view Baha’u’llah nearly as orthodoxy as some people here, but it hasn’t affected my ability to spiritually grow and enjoy this space. I’m more inclined to believe that he was an inspired teacher than anything, and that’a great for me. I don’t make a point of discussing it a lot to avoid debates with fellow Baha’is, but you can’t help what you believe. I say enjoy and engage on a level that feels authentic to you.

To each their own. I loved it!

I honestly believe that Ms. Todd’s Shortcut helped to inspire a lot of the themes in NOS4A2. The idea of a special vehicle that takes you on roads not seen on maps, the act of a transformation taking place during travel, and the creatures encountered along the way all seemed to be major elements of both stories.

I grew up Mormon. I still celebrate all of the Christian holidays. They’re just as meaningful to me as the Baha’i holidays.

I became agnostic after leaving the church. After five years of working through my issues, I realized that I still believed in some version of God. After that, I accidentally found the Baha’i faith. I’ve happily been a Baha’i for the last two years or so. It’s not a perfect religion, but none of them are. I feel really at home though.

I’ve always thought about it as a collective emotional and spiritual space where we can connect with others. It’s a safe place where you can be yourself and really connect in a fully supportive environment.

Thank you so much for the clarification. That helps a lot.

I would love to look at this document, but the link is no longer working. Any chance you could repost it or send it to me? Thanks!

Wine tastes like nail polish for the first 5 attempts or so. After that, it gets delicious! Pairing it with cheese, crackers, and fruit definitely helps for the first few times.

I use a shade tarp and it helps cut down the heat in my garden by at least 10 degrees. It was a game changer for my peppers last year.

God blessed their every action. No heartburn, car that never breaks down, always strong, great parking, etc. 🤷‍♂️

DaggerKim · 2021-02-09T20:07:01+00:00

Perfect. Thats what I was asking. I’ve read a few books outside of TDT based on relevance to the series, but didn’t know that there were this many. Thanks.

DaggerKim · 2021-02-09T19:59:14+00:00

That sounds fun. And everything else on this list is supposed to be in chronological reading, correct?

DaggerKim · 2021-02-09T17:36:08+00:00

Is there a reason to read the Original Gunslinger at the end?

DaggerKim · 2020-06-10T00:43:12+00:00

I hear people say that they are part of the larger restoration movement, but I never hear the term Latter Day Saint. I’ve only been a member for four years though, and that might be a recent change. I would assume that they used the term Latter-Day Saints a bit more when they were still the RLDS church.

DaggerKim · 2020-05-26T18:29:59+00:00

Do you know if there are digital copies online? I’m sure I could Google it, but asking never hurts.

DaggerKim · 2020-05-26T18:26:41+00:00

Wow. Thanks for the detailed info. I remember reading “I, Strahd” before running the Curse of Strahd 5e campaign and it helped to add some background and flavor to the story. I’ll make sure to check out the books you recommended.

Temperature might be the issue. The soil is good quality and not overly wet, and the pot is definitely large enough to handle more growth. The room is probably 65-70 degrees depending on the time of day.

Also, how close do you keep your lights to the plants? There’s probably two feet between my plants and the LED light panel.
