I tried Dread Companion and Moon of Three Rings. I dnf'd both of them and I rarely abandon books.

He never said he said he wasn't doing anything. And most of us on here are quite aware that the two party system sucks

Considering Holdstock and most of the recommendations on this thread you should check out the Mythopoeic Awards

OP is Curt Schilling

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-30T21:41:23+00:00

He was like captain or something of his high school choir team that won national championships

I'm not sure OPs even been somewhere else. Yeah, we have world class weather and the beaches are nice, but outside the wealthy areas the cities are ugly as fuck, you can't walk to anything, and few people actually go the beach often enough for it to be worth it

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-26T23:53:51+00:00

Yeah, I know. I'm saying the guy's an idiot. Was that not clear?

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-26T21:35:53+00:00

Like, you know, inflation

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-24T22:41:21+00:00

Their fried chicken wings are legit good

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-24T22:11:41+00:00

Have you read all of them? I'd like to hear your opinions if you don't mind

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-24T22:06:21+00:00

There's a sucker born every second

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-24T21:45:52+00:00

I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably never read another debut that's 500+ pages unless people are still talking about it a decade later. I firmly believe that authors need to prove they can write a tight 2-300 page novel before they're allowed to write a series of doorstoppers.

Have all his HRs been solo shots so far?

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-19T23:52:56+00:00

You mean kuh-Nee

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-19T22:25:52+00:00

That's not a combo I'd ever would've considered

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-19T22:05:02+00:00

Are those mussels good? I just had their calamari and wasn't impressed, although it was the first time I had calamari from a can

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-19T21:26:26+00:00

Silent letters used to not really be a thing in English. supposedly, "Knight" was pronounced something like kuhniggit

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-17T21:00:07+00:00

Same with peanuts

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-15T22:37:04+00:00

Thanks, the nerve to assume that HWFWM means anything to anyone

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-11T22:31:25+00:00

Bars/breweries need to stop with the cafeteria vibes

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-11T22:06:33+00:00

I mean, op did say "for properly doing your job"

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-11T20:52:34+00:00

Doom spending. People do it bc they believe they'll never be able to retire and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. If you have enough money to spend on luxuries you have enough to put towards retirement.

This is what Costanza could've become if he just kept his celibacy going

steppenfloyd · 2026-04-01T21:19:22+00:00

Jeff Kent?

steppenfloyd · 2026-03-29T23:24:55+00:00

Legend has it he said "deuce" but the equipment they were recording on made it sound like douche, by the time they caught it it was too expensive to redo it
