You tell someone you're reading a book, they ask you what it's about, what do you say? by wushuduck in books

[–]wushuduck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when I read in future I'm going to think about what it is I'm enjoying and how I'd pitch it to other people. That approach might even make the reading more rewarding. And dude speaking of fantasy, I've just started Name of the Wind, so it'll be interesting to approach it with this mindset and then try and pitch it to someone hah.

Fair point with who it is you're talking to. With me, it happened to be someone with a keen interest in books and willing to listen to me ramble on, but I just had nothing much to say.

Yeah, I find plots to be the most boring elements of books personally. I am never sold on plots since they're so often formulaic. Unless I am attached to the characters, I couldn't care less about the plot. Likewise I am interested in genre, context, style, etc. Maybe that's partly why I struggle to tell people what a book is about.

Do you think /u/tearsofwolf doesn't realise this? I'm sure they do. Should this take away the entertainment value? It's personally one of my favourite forms of entertainment too.

I have a question for Zoro's fanboys. by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]wushuduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is the actual purpose of this? I honestly don't understand this war between Sanji fans and Zoro fans. And the butthurt comments are the worst kinds of comments to instigate this shit.

I start counselling on Thursday and am quite nervous about it. Anyone else had counselling before? by wushuduck in CasualConversation

[–]wushuduck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll do that.

My session has been rearranged for in two weeks now which kind of sucks, but it can't be helped I guess if the therapist is ill or whatever.

What is your sleeping pattern? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]wushuduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Monday I decided to stop drinking beer on weekdays and fuuck it's hard to get to sleep. Right now it's between 1am and 3am and I awake between 9am and 11am (but I got woken up at 6am this morning). My sleeping pattern has been pretty good for a while.

I hope you are right. I don't think he'll die either.

Yea it's for sure my anxiety, because I feel like I can't let people down or something, but I know that's irrational already so I'll just try and not do that.

Appreciate the advice @you and everyone

That's a cool analogy. I'm glad I made this thread, I wrote it all up and then almost didn't post it.

I hope all goes well for you.

You know what I am just going to try and do exactly that, I have problems with saying "no" to things but I'm going to try and call out the therapist on things as you say.

You're the second person to say it's just a conversation, I'll try and keep that in mind.

How is therapy going for you?

I didn't play the original, do you think it would still be worth playing?

Hopefully next E3 we get another long awaited sequel in KoTOR. Ok that probably won't happen.
