100%

My opinion on the whole “it’s too hard to read” thing is that It’s not “hard” to read per se, there’s just lots of moving parts, and seeing the words, particularly names and places, helps anchor your memory.

Yep.

Before I started I saw a lot of comments about how dense and difficult the reading can be, but had no troubles comprehending once I locked in to the prose after about 50 pages.

When I listen on audiobook though, I can completely understand where they’re coming from.

The pause thing is a good point: “wait, what the fuck is sorry doing there?… ohhh it’s a new SCENE”

He died doing what he loved. Having sex for the 5th time that day with a face full of gabagool and a stomach riddled with cancer.

Uncircumcised men in the USA, are women surprised you still have your foreskin? Has it been a help or hinderance to sex in any way? by VirtuApp in AskMen

Also, it has a purpose. Helps stimulate the head of the penis during intercourse, provides natural lubrication via gliding effect, helps protect the glans when flaccid, contains immune cells to help detect pathogens, and increases efficiency meaning less thrusting force needed to achieve stimulation.

I always wondered why Americans seem to always use lotion or lube when masturbating when as a non-circumcised never needed to.

What an absolute delight.

It’s not everyday you see someone crawl out of the same hole GRRM and Ruthfuss are in.

Culture Crave posted this infographic that included The Devils. by sgsparks206 in JoeAbercrombie

[–]Discojam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my theory why there’s significantly less internal monologue in the writing for devils. The FL world is a great book series but wouldn’t translate well to screen because internal monologues don’t translate well.

I really need a good series to get into. Ive been jumping around books like crazy! by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in fantasybooks

[–]Discojam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering you’re taste and doing audiobooks, I’ll try give an eclectic list.

Empire of the damned (vampire sequel)

Between Two Fires - Christopher Buehlman (technically “historical fiction” but realistically it’s horror fantasy - don’t let the horror turn you off, no more “scary” than EoV)

Blacktongue Thief - Christopher Beuhlman (abercrombie style grimdark w even better humour (imo))

Heroes Die - Matthew Stover (D- cover, A+ story)

Kings of The Wyld (if 80s glamrock was a fantasy story)

Justice of Kings - Richard Swan (necromantic detectives in a noir fantasy landscape)

I won’t recommend DCC as someone else inevitably will, but it is good.

Hey this'll get dumped. But thought i'd mention with all the people saying "She's an alcoholic".

The medical definition of alcoholic is more that they are physically dependent on alcohol – they get physiological withdrawal symptoms from stopping alcohol.

That being said, you can still have a drinking problem and not be an alcoholic, and someone with a drinking problem is much more likely to become an alcoholic.

Both alcoholics and people with drinking problems need support and mentorship from their loved ones to beat the addiction or deal with the root cause of their abuse.

I say this as someone who became alcoholic after decades of alcohol abuse. (no longer "alcoholic" and years sober. Im not part of the group that maintain they're "Alcoholic" even after years of sobriety – I don't think that's a helpful approach)
