Seems like there's new people around. Did we actually gain members from Revenge of the Cunts?

There's pretty much a constant slow trickle of people in which increases to a steady flow during either of the shows so i think that stands to reason

Like bad poops.

Hey I have 5 Audible Credits.

Got a couple books lined up, but shoot me some good book ideas to get.

Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101

Gulag Archelelago.

The Rising Tide of Color (1920) by Lothrop Stoddard

War and Peace or another good Tolsky book if they are decent enough. If they are read decent.

I've been reading a confession. Pretty good if you want to really face your existential crisis head-on.

Reading Russian novelists to face existential crisis? Do you want to sudoku?

Tbh I find I'm more productive when I introduce a bit of existential dread into my daily life

Any other good audiobook suggestions?

Dresden read by Spike from Buffy was good.

I only bother with actual books if possible

Read the Mistborn trilogy.

It's fantastic.

As far as audiobooks go, I can definitely say that I wouldn't have made it through Moby Dick if I had actually been reading it, but I really liked it in the end.

And then skip the time jump books and read Stormlight Archive instead

The problem, if you want to call it that, with getting into any Sanderson book is that I feel like it comes with an unspoken understanding that you are now obligated to read the rest of them.

If I read Mistborne what else do I need to read?

The original story was written as a trilogy, so you should really read all three.

That is the Final Empire, The Well of Ascencion and The Hero of Ages.

It looks like he wrote a lot.

There is also a follow up to it set on the same world something like four hundred years after.

Yeah

You know how Stephen King has a bunch of references to his other works that makes them all something like a shared universe? Even moreso with the Dark Tower series?

Sanderson does the same thing.

Errr bad example.

King combines universes like a drunk guy combines his car with your front porch, door, hallway, and umbrella stand.

Fair enough.

He wrote 45 books?

There were a bunch of things in the later half of the Dark Tower series that made me think that if this exact same thing was written by anyone not named Stephen King, they'd be laughed out of the room.

Sanderson?

I guess that's how many he has now.

For example about the stupid things that King did, there is the fact that the plot twist was robots, and not only that, it was robot cowboys that fought with literal fucking lightsabers and weapons that looked like the snitch from Harry Potter but acted like buzzsaws. Or the fact that they fought them off with three guns and a bunch of sharpened goddamn plates.

How much cocaine did he *do*

Or how about how he was IN the story as an actual character?

That's not even the worst one
