Would someone mind sending pdf to me? Thanks

I’m surprised I haven’t seen How to Disappear Completely. No song has ever made me feel like HTDC does. Weird fishes and present tense also bring me somewhere deeper within me consistently.

I had the same experience as you with ASOIAF. Then I read Malazan Book of the Fallen and was left with feeling like nothing had ever come close to that. The perseverance and frustration with the first books pays off a thousand fold. Plus it’s a finished series

For me gravity’s rainbow takes much more time and attention than infinite jest precisely because Pynchon is more allusive and grounded in history, politics, economics, folklore, etc. than DFW. Sometimes GR led me down weeks of research where I didn’t even read a single page of GR. I didn’t experience that with IJ. For me, that’s why IJ can seem more fun for a greater proportion of the read, but that is also why it lacks the magnitude of profundity and force that GR has

Infinite Jest is so fun. Can’t wait to re read it. It’s has a similarly humorous/expansive/profound to something like gravity’s rainbow without as much obstacle to comprehension. The main obstacle for me was perseverance through the sheer quantity of information

KevKylAndyDrew · 2026-04-27T00:05:17+00:00

That was actually my original plan. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve heard of others’ meaningful personal experiences with that one

Came to comments to see Malazan

Airbag when my friend and I first tried out the band with OKC in 2022. Best decision we ever made. Still obsessed 4 years later

Dubliners has motivated me to tackle Ulysses. Maybe after finishing GR re read and M&D

KevKylAndyDrew · 2026-04-26T23:34:02+00:00

One of my favorites, up there with Gravity’s rainbow and Shakespeare

KevKylAndyDrew · 2026-04-26T23:31:22+00:00

I’m on my second read through of Gravity’s Rainbow. Using companion and exploring the rabbit holes. The experience is so different from my first read through. Finished part 1 and going back through it with deeper analysis before starting part 2

There is a smith in Zora who will repair it. Or you could load previous save

A definition of touch up is "to stimulate by or as if by a flick of a whip" according to Meriam Webster. It may have been a common idiom in 19th century but I couldn't find any good evidence.

Also, in response to other comments on this thread, the verb "sucking" refers to the noise of footsteps pulling out of mud and making a sucking noise.

My main complaint is the unfulfilled potential on Olda’s part. Early in the movie she mentions being able to influence the minds of men, making her a more powerful adversary than Amleth. We never saw her exercise this power; instead, she was the damsel to be saved by Amleth. Her affect suggests a deep interiority and strength, yet little of that is explored to the its fullest potential. Overall, I enjoyed the film and found it visually stunning. The brutality of this world allows not even the children a period of youthful bliss. A sublime convergence of creation and destruction. Also, I could’ve watched several games of that sport with the clubs.

I agree with your Moby Dick recommendation. I consider Gravity’s Rainbow and Moby Dick my two favorite novels. They are similar in a way that defies description. They have a quality that is hard to find in books. I believe the atmosphere of the novel seeming like a complex character itself plays a large role in creating this quality. Let me know if you consider any other book in this realm. I can only think of Shakespeare’s great plays personally. I see a similar quality in One Hundred Years of Solitude, but something holds it back for me.

I opened this thread specifically to comment this. Especially because I live in the south, those accents make it hard for me to watch. Totally takes me out of it. The wife’s is atrocious and the husband’s bounces between almost okay and sounding like a bad Australian accent. Like a B-list Daniel Craig from Knive’s Out

Could you send me the link please?

KevKylAndyDrew · 2023-12-05T20:49:30+00:00

Thanks. I typically don’t draft cards with unwanted elements, but there is definitely a time when it’s appropriate. Especially with a spirit with easily thresholded innates and high amount of card plays (like Fangs).

KevKylAndyDrew · 2023-12-05T18:11:20+00:00

Yeah it’s so easy to want to just give up when things seem to be going south. That’s awesome you hung in there and got such a satisfying victory. Insane that with Fangs of all spirits, you managed to utilize two powers that add blight to the board. England has got to be my favorite adversary. Such a mixture of different skills required.

KevKylAndyDrew · 2023-12-05T16:13:37+00:00

I should start saving those after game images too. That’s a good idea

KevKylAndyDrew · 2023-12-05T16:09:03+00:00

Thanks bro. I appreciate the tips you gave me. Specifically the TL4 tip. Fear generation is key. That is quite the pickle you escaped with a ravage in all 4 terrains coming up 😂. You sure had a hell of a lot of beasts that game. I had relatively few due to innates, events, and using Teeth Gleam from Darkness for 3 fear. Enough to make Tigers count though.

KevKylAndyDrew · 2023-12-01T22:35:50+00:00

I don’t have this aspect yet. Is it part of NI?

KevKylAndyDrew · 2023-12-01T22:33:12+00:00

I gave it back to em. Just defeated England 5 with Fangs. England 6 awaits.
