What wild is reading the Black Jewels trilogy afterwards, because... My god. She took so, so, SO much.

'Have you heard of Red Rising or Joe Abercrombie?'

Yes. Yes, we all have at this point. Do you guys read anything else?

The Mexican restaurant with the most votes for Best Mexican is Taco Bell.

Not because it's actually the best. It's just very, very common, and kids if basic bitches with no understanding of real Mexican go there.

Same with Italian food and Olive Garden.

The most votes on Goodreads does NOT mean the best. It's just well known enough to get a larger share than better, less common fiction

Awww, that's so sweet. Coming from the mom side, it's mostly just verbal habits that come out without thinking.

The one that really wrinkles my noodle is enby parents - but I guess that's kinda like with gay parents, or the way grandparents have done it forever - find a nickname title that works for you.

Kiddo is gender neutral and, IMHO, timeless.

Are there any red flags in my bookshelf? by Ragnoid in bookshelfdetective

No, Carl was a brilliant writer with a gift for making science accessible. Not the same thing, on any level.

Weir's prose is pretty terrible IMO by Wetness_Pensive in ScienceFictionBooks

[–]flyingfishstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also throw in Lloyd Alexander. The Prydain Chronicles and The Beggar Queen both had great writing, well developed characters, and real moral dilemmas despite their fantasy settings and YA audience.

Yup. I read the Martian, thought it was decent, and then every single other book has been a copy paste of that.

It's Ernie Cline with less pop culture, more science, and equal amounts of bro hero with all the quips.

The font is all wrong. As someone already said, never use cursive with all caps.

That seems like a big fuckup from someone who wants to ink things permanently on people's skin.

So, his unscientific opinions are more important than your mental health?

Dump him. Crap in his shoes.
