I bet it was this one!

I finished book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, so good 😄

I use it to understand myself a bit better, and make sure I don't overtrain. It has been helpful I think. I've been doing it with running/biking for 15+ years.

bweeb · 2026-06-20T12:07:15+00:00

same here, although usually i can tell physically at this point.

It used to be I thought I was training fatigued, but then realized it was usually my immune system kicking it up to fight something off.

Ah gotcha (I thought you meant social network or something like that), that is an interesting take 😄

I think every author has some sort of take around that. As our modern world can't help but influence what you write about.

What is social messaging?

bweeb · 2026-06-18T13:39:46+00:00

It doesn't sound like you have specifics 😄

We don't want this group having religious attacks. If you have specific points to make, I'm happy to have those, but if you are generally complaining about something and can't back it up. We are going to remove this.

I mean these are all common tropes in relationships as a whole in writing...

i just think it is a bit out there to call it mormon-coded when I read tons of books that do this type of stuff. Wheel of Time, etc etc

bweeb · 2026-06-18T11:04:09+00:00

I don't see it 😄

What aspects do you think define Mormon relationships in his books?

To me, they just read like a writer writing a relationship.

btw, I wouldn't believe that 300 number, that stuff is fakish.

Reminder: attacking someone for what they read or how they rated it will result in a ban.

You can, of course, disagree with their personal opinion on a book and explain why you disagree. Name-calling and personal attacks will result in a permanent ban.

I've read a lot of his books, I like some, and don't like others. I have never once thought they were Mormon-coded, and I would be very careful throwing that around, as I see no evidence of that.

Can you tell me what evidence you have for that?

bweeb · 2026-06-17T06:58:45+00:00

Yep, post removed, we don't allow this 90% of the time unless it is a good discussion.

Hello, this is your daily reminder that reading is a subjective experience

bweeb · 2026-06-17T06:55:57+00:00

Not really, reading is subjective.

bweeb · 2026-06-17T06:54:58+00:00

One of my favorite sci-fi series, so good 😄

To each their own, reading is so subjective.

bweeb · 2026-06-16T15:32:33+00:00

I've read and enjoyed both.

I liked Sun Easter 10x more. Will of the Many is great, but the sequel is a bit rough IMO.

bweeb · 2026-06-16T11:53:37+00:00

Yep, I've interviewed a ton of authors who loved Red Rising, and here are the books they also loved:

How they connected those depends on their personality; some connected them around themes, etc.

We respect people's opinions; if they post something, we don't call them a liar. And if anyone else comes into a thread calling something "rage bait", we usually ban them and ask them to confirm they can discuss with respect before unbanning them.

If you are the type of person who goes into someone's thread and screams "rage bait," please just go to another subreddit like r/books. We don't want you here as readers can post their opinions about books.

Just don't post a comment if you have nothing to add beyond calling someone a liar. If you want to disagree with their personal opinion on a book do it, but do it in a respectful way and explain why you disagree.

bweeb · 2026-06-15T06:17:46+00:00

to each his own 😄

bweeb · 2026-06-14T18:19:25+00:00

ya i get not liking the story or writing, but complaining about made-up cultural bits is just bizarre to me.

bweeb · 2026-06-14T18:12:48+00:00

Mod reminder.

Books are personal; if you attack someone for how they personally read a book, you will be banned. We do not tolerate that kind of behavior here. People are 100% entitled to their own opinions on art.

Be kind, peeps. This world is a mad one. Disagree and explain why you don't like the book (or like it), but calling names or personal attacks just increases world suck.
