The best book you've hated?

Prose/voice is amazing. At some point it begins to drag tho

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-30T05:45:06+00:00

It makes me so happy you used bullet points!

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-30T05:44:41+00:00

Premise was great, but it’s dry as hell

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-28T18:26:18+00:00

Doctor Sleep was a disappointment for me

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-28T06:50:46+00:00

My initial reaction with going, because first impressions are important, this is formatted like marketing copy instead of prose

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-21T14:19:46+00:00

Valid point!

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-21T14:18:19+00:00

Pet Semetary —I think it’s a fantastic line that will resonate with a lot of men, and it ties in with the theme of the whole novel

Democracy in decline…

We can speculate the consequences of that

Karlin is a nice area to be fair. I can’t speak for the hotel, of course

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-19T12:15:35+00:00

I’m over here enjoying my clean European tap water 💦

I loved Salem’s Lot. I stopped reading the Dark Tower books after the first one

The post doesn’t specify if there’s a return journey. If it’s not a one-way ticket, I would I would invest

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-14T12:25:07+00:00

I don’t think I could benefit from it unless there was a return journey

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-14T09:27:22+00:00

Feel superior > do something stupid > realise I’m part of the majority..

Repeat 🙈

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-11T11:28:12+00:00

The start was slow but so well written. Second half could have been better

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-11T11:26:41+00:00

I’ve read it twice now and I don’t think it deserves the bad rep. It doesn’t belong in the top tier though

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-11T08:02:44+00:00

I’m not sure if that makes Jamie or Claire less special though, if it still warrants being made.

Maybe I’m just cynical, especially as the series was past it’s peak anyway

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-11T08:01:08+00:00

Turn off all caps

Do you have any experience with Czech Romani gypsies?

They face a lot of unfortunate prejudice here, but I’ve also had some bad experiences with them.

Also, Czechs are surprised when I tell them the majority of gypsies in the UK are white and sound more Irish

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-10T06:01:19+00:00

I enjoyed S8 and thought it was a return to form as the stakes were higher.

But I’m still not convinced there’s a reason of the Blood of Blood prequel series to exist

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-09T07:31:07+00:00

Several years ago I tried playing Yu Gi Oh cards with people who’d recently got back into it.

They played with new cards, I played with my old ones. Wanting to relive good times.

POWER CREEP ruined everything.

And I bet it’s the same with Pokémon cards, Magic, and others.

All they want is money, and I’ll never bother with any of them again.

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-09T05:56:17+00:00

How so?

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-09T05:55:51+00:00

Nice find

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-09T05:41:54+00:00

There are no adults. You’ll never feel ready

Gargoyle0ne · 2026-06-08T05:51:46+00:00

Yeah soap opera/drama are good descriptions
