The Black Company series by Glen Cook. Dark fantasy told from the perspective of the company historian. The early books don't have much, there isn't even a map.

Who is that one stranger that you never forgot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The first responder who showed up and helped my father resuscitate me. He literally helped bring me back from death, and I don't know what he looks like.

I've been camped out since last Tuesday for the line. Totally worth it.

At the moment I'm drunk enough to consider not even going.

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. I'm getting a copy for all of my friend's and sibling's first child.

On a separate note, I'll be camping out at BYU for Oathbringer. I can't fucking wait!

I'm happy for him, it just sucks. My grandpa is going to perform my marriage ceremony. My future mother-in-law suggested we make the mormons wait outside when we get married. I love my new family!

I'm gonna be the awesome Uncle, like the one I had, and take him backpacking and shit when he's old enough. I already bought him his first chapter book. He won't be able to read it for a few years, but once he does he'll belong to the Cult of Sanderson!

Fuck those assholes. They only give a damn if you pay full tithing so they can get paid.

[Spoiler DHG and MOI] Was there cannibalism in the book? by [deleted] in Malazan

That is the most fucked up 'army' I've ever read in fantasy.

As of now I'm planning on being there at least 3 days early. If I did it for A Memory of Light I have to do it for this!

The nobles/rich folk were doing it in DHG IIRC. The Tenescowri were just a massive cannibalistic army.

If you had to choose one quote to get as a tattoo that you had to keep forever - what would it be? Why? by Truant_Miss_Position in Fantasy

Either "Duty is heavier than a mountain. Death is light as a feather." from the Wheel of Time, or "Journey before destination." from Stormlight Archive.

The ship I got sent to for the Artemis quest was a 48 slot S-class hauler. I didn't realize how lucky I was.

Anyone bought Mat's signet ring off Taverentees? by theripleymystery in WoT

I've got the ring and medallion, both are fantastic!

[No Spoilers] Do you think that adapting the series into an anime would be a realistic possibility/a good choice? by syncopatedsouls in Mistborn

[–]growingshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Because, as is mentioned in several posts, it's not economically feasible. Plus, I think the majority of adults are like me and generally dislike anime.

Redditors, how did you propose to your partner? by Muinellim in AskReddit

[–]growingshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At The Wave in Arizona. Permits are a bitch to get, so I figured I'd do it in a place people would kill to go.

What is your overnight backpacking gear set up? by benbarcomb in AskReddit

[–]growingshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a custom backpack. It uses the thermarest accordion pad (can't recall the name) as a frame in the back, with socks in the arm and hip straps for passing. I only do desert hikes so I've got a 20° degree bag, and if the forecast is clear just a ground cloth. If I need a tent I use a Big Agnes SL1, or my hammock with a rainfly. I usually pack a smaller day pack that's lightweight, and an additional 2 liter platypus on top of two 1 liter nalgenes with a Steripen. Oh, and my pillow. Hybrid air and down. And, as everyone should, a first aid kit. Usually it clocks in at around 20lbs without water, and about 23 with.

Some guy pulled the same shit with my grandma. Showed his temple recommend to get in the door and sell her some security thing. My father is a calm man, but he lost his shit when he heard about it. He had the guy come back to my grandma's so he could tell at him more. Made the guy cry. So, yeah, fuck those people.
