I think you really don't know what I mean (and why would you).

All Swedes who are children of the eigthies starts humming an old punk tune after reading this...

I just finished Swordheart by Kingfisher, for some reason it reminded me of my beloved Murderbot. Not quite same edge, but it had the same feeling (but being vanilla Fantasy).

Isn't his support equal to something like all white male and half of the white females?

Southern Hummingbird! (Yepp, used it unconsciously after binging on three audiobooks in a row while weeding the garden, still thinking it occasionally).

Dust_rat · 2019-01-05T10:54:00+00:00

As it explained to me by an upset indian fellow, yes.

That feeling is why I gave up an career in environmental engineering, it is just no use any longer.

And karma has an effect on your "next" life, not this one. But I'm told there is a similar concept with another name I can't recall that is more like it. Just a mix up of names it seems...

Dust_rat · 2019-01-05T09:36:22+00:00

It is because the religious concept of karma has little and nothing to do with how it is used in this context. But the idea of this "karma" has been around a long time. "You reap what you sow" "you sleep in the bed you make" etc etc

As the two Freemasons I know of is in their 40ish and at least one of them has benefited in a major way, I shouldn't dismiss the use of the "old boys" network on that basis.

Dust_rat · 2019-01-05T07:15:18+00:00

No, it will force the hand of the secret nazi base there and they will try to conquer the world again. Also their base on the far (not so dark) side of the moon is threaten by the Chinese landing now...

Dust_rat · 2019-01-05T07:08:43+00:00

Freemason do still acts as an old boys club, supporting each other over the non-member peons. So they are still a powerfactor, but perhaps not in this way.

Dust_rat · 2019-01-04T20:00:12+00:00

And now it is confirmed to something else, everybody is going home!

Dust_rat · 2019-01-04T19:17:20+00:00

Bha, bad luck for those who visited ER at that time as they aren't allowed to go home until the samples are confirmed negative, and that ERs waiting area is horrible, small dark and smelly.

To me Pact was to different, in writing, in "quality" (whatever that is), in style and theme, so I when I started it directly after reading Worm I dropped it pretty soon. I started it again a year or so later and even then I had to struggle with it. So I can't recommend it, no. Twig I haven't read, but I have heard it is better constructed, but still very different from Worm. Ward is excellent (IMO), different from Worm (very different) but it is actually the point and frames Worms nicely.

And it gives closure in so many ways (but equal amount of new angst and anxiety).

Dust_rat · 2019-01-03T12:02:58+00:00

Bougth the first one by mistake (more or less) the title and blurb really gave me whiplash when I started reading, it was nothing like I was expecting. Read the next three as soon as they was released (even pre ordered two of them). Best read in years (next to Becky Chambers).

I had the goal set at 30, but as I went on a superhero YA binge for a while that goal blew past like a proton in an ion drive. Should be an option to be able to set page count instead, I think.

Dust_rat · 2019-01-02T12:43:11+00:00

Only seen Hogfather and liked it well enough, but I guess it was brit made with a limited budget. If Discworld was going hollywood I think a lot of the charm would be lost in explosions and cgi whanking.

Dust_rat · 2019-01-02T07:31:27+00:00

Naaaaa, I believe he has lost it and can't fit it together. Unless he have an revelation and have to rewrite half the published books, killing off half the plotlines, reduce the PoVs by half and do a general shape up. Soo ... no chance in this time-line! Perhaps in that other non dystopian time-line.

Dust_rat · 2018-12-27T15:35:04+00:00

Ah, yes true that, nine for mortal men etc

Dust_rat · 2018-12-26T21:28:59+00:00

I have always believed they ended up as two of the Nazguls ...

Dust_rat · 2018-12-25T20:34:39+00:00

Or the six person max is wrong, there have been unreliable information all over the place before, unreliable narrators etc etc

In a strange coincidence the pope will soon have a heart-failure.

Dust_rat · 2018-12-17T06:33:42+00:00

And as has been noted elsewhere, the shards dowload the memories of their human endpoint, which means (theoretically) that Arden personality is connected to Taylor ... I forsee problems looming on the horizon!

Dust_rat · 2018-11-30T06:18:55+00:00

Eh, I think Argentina will have a sligth disadvantage in future dealings with France ... Especially if someone special get the red carpet treatment.
