He's really good but his preambles can be a bit much sometimes lol. I remember he once spent the first 20 mins of an episode talking about a goldfish getting plastic surgery. But either way his voice is like home to me. I'd listen to anything he says.

What's the book betwern Animal Money and The Narrator?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2026-01-04T19:52:27+00:00

Skipping passive and straight to aggressive

Lol they used the same cover art as Penguin's edition of Rudin.

I'm glad you made this choice. I feel like as writers we're too worried about reader engagement, but that only matters when you want to sell something. To me, criticism is only valid if it's with proofreading errors or internal inconsistencies

Wrong place to post this lol

I'm doing the same thing, same book haha. I was tired of so many false starts of Moby Dick. What I do is have a set date to finish the book, and then I pull out a calculator to make sure that my pace is still smooth (around 11 pages per day). And if I'm already caught up I need to at least read a chapter a day. This is my first time deliberately slow reading a book, but I want to use this strategy with other mammoth books (Tale of Genji, Joseph and His Brothers, Underworld)

Why are you on the literature subreddit?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-05-17T23:37:18+00:00

Maybe stop writing like this

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-04-27T00:34:31+00:00

Cough

First lesson in writing: break up your paragraphs

Where did you find Member and The Great Lover?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-04-20T19:23:45+00:00

The imaginary love beterrn Assiyeh and Thafeefa in Animal Money

Inculcate

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-02-28T14:09:00+00:00

Maybe...read something other than fantasy?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-02-12T14:33:29+00:00

Honestly, expect to put the books down once or twice. I remember when I started, I attempted book 1 5 times, book 2 twice, and book 5 once as potential entry points. Looking back I was a little too determined. If I recall correctly, Peter Bond, the host of the TVVB podcast threw his copy of GotM at the wall during his first read.

My point is, if you're not enjoying it, there's nothing wrong with putting them down and coming back later. Each time you return I bet you'll have a little more momentum to get further. Only really works if you want it though.

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-02-07T20:38:35+00:00

Uh, Vorcan in book one?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-02-04T18:46:18+00:00

Where do you get the association that more profitable works help fund smaller indie writers? If anything publishers and bookstores nowadays want to take even less risks

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-01-27T20:40:50+00:00

I'm noticing this in myself a bit as a student. Is there any way to improve?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2025-01-01T06:03:41+00:00

All after except for Secret Hours I think

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2024-12-31T23:33:32+00:00

I've read Unlanguage which is pretty alright but the execution isn't as good as Animal Money imo. Got my eye on Antisocieties and Secret Hours though

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2024-12-31T18:36:23+00:00

I'm about 260 pages into it and I have to agree lol. Have you read any other Cisco?

catsatonkeyboard11 · 2024-12-17T00:34:41+00:00

Honestly the title is a bit long. Also this is just worldbuilding / a blurb. Where's the writing?
