"Am I the Asshole?" but it's just me going on Goodreads and Storygraph to validate my iffy feelings about a book I'm reading
#this happens much more often than you'd think#reading an ace anthology currently that uh. could have done with a lot more ace joy#and less... characters experiencing relentless acephobia#i want to like it but. it's been bumming me out a bit#bibliophile problems#books

I hate buying a physical book for book club and discovering it's made of the paper/ink that gives me a headache, so I have to go get the ebook.
#And I can't even return the physical book#because I accidentally swiped the page edges with a marker#literally 30 seconds before discovering the paper/ink issue#bibliophile problems

Me half a year ago: I shouldn't get any more books, I'm running out of shelf space, how lucky most titles in this series are available as an e-copy at my local library
My shelf now:
#bibliophile problems#the vampire chronicles#you can't see it but prince lestat probably has the most bookmarks

I insist on having coasters. Next to my reading chair, on my desk, in my library, etc. I remember reading in A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Penultimate Peril that evil people do not use coasters, and it has stuck with me into adulthood:
“We observed rings on all the wooden furniture, from people refusing to use coasters. Obviously there are many villains staying in the hotel.”
“...for there was no one on the wooden bench, only a few etched rings from people wicked enough to set down glasses without using coasters.”

I love the Wheel of Time series so far, I really do, but I think I've got to take a break once I've finished The Shadow Rising. I keep zoning out and can barely even keep track of what's happening to everyone anymore. And for some reason I'm just feeling so disheartened by the fact that I'm four books in and only a little over a year has actually passed in the story. One year! And it's not like these books are Redwall-length; the short ones are like Three Musketeers length and the longer ones are between Brothers Karamazov and Les Miserables in length! And that's all well and good, I love big books, with millions of characters, but... it's taken four 600+ page books for one year to pass. ONE YEAR... in War&Peace a good 9+ years passes...in Les Mis and Count of Monte-Cristo, like 15-20 years... I guess that's the rub. Ay, it rubs me up the wrong way that a '90s fantasy flick is moving more slowly than some of the greatest classics of all time. And it wouldn't bother me so much if Jordan's writing actually measured up to those classics. He's great and all, but he's not up there with the likes of Dumas, Hugo, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Tolstoy... and yet he felt the need to take his story this slow. But also... I'm excited that I have such a long series to read? The best books always seem too short. And I do love this series. It's just... Yah. It's time for a break. I need to take a break from this series monopolizing my reading time. There's so much on the list this year... some Brian Herbert Dune fanfics, Shogun, TE Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom, maybe re-reading Les Mis...
I don't even know what this post is. Tah.
#Random#Personal#Book ramblings#Bibliophile problems#What business does a 90s fantasy series have being as long as War & Peace tho??? SERIOUSLY#Don't come at me this isn't Wheel of Time hate#I adore Wheel of Time but it's time for a break#Why is this on my Dune blog#Well because this is my SciFi AND Fantasy blog#Because I don't have a fantasy blog and refuse to make anymore new blogs at present

I’m going to hang this sign on the door of my library, for incredibly nerdy reasons:
Most obviously, because I have a lot of books (which is why I needed to buy more shelves).
Because this sign reminds me of the Legend of Siegfried from Norse mythology. I’ve explained below why this is so significant for me personally.
I want my library to be blue, because of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s The Blue Castle, and this sign fits with the colors I’ve picked out.
The Legend of Siegfried tells the story of how the hero Siegfried uses the magic sword and a magic ring to help him slay the dragon Fafner and take his treasure. This is the legend that inspired Wagner’s Ring cycle operas, The Hobbit by Tolkien, and my favorite anime Soukyuu no Fafner.
In Soukyuu no Fafner, the world has been taken over by aliens called Festum and the protagonists have to pilot fighting robots called Fafners (made to look reptilian to represent the dragon Fafner from the legend) in order to protect their treasure, their home and loved ones. So while the dragon is the villain in most renditions of the legend, the Fafners in my favorite anime are a necessary evil that they need to protect their world.
In a way, I feel like the dragon Fafner who is hoarding all my favorite books and it’s a part of who I am that I protect fiercely. And I associate the dragon from the legend with the pilots in the anime, who are the ones who give up their lives to protect their home. It seems very dramatic, but wouldn’t a lot of people rather die than give up their books? Ever since reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury I’ve thought that I would definitely be one of the people who would rather be burned with my books than live a life where everything was censored, cultures were destroyed, and free thinking was discouraged.
Also, the dragon on the sign is purple, which is the same as my favorite fighting robot from the anime.

Hi. I'm the disabled trans author of this 👇
and I need at least $300 of rent money by July 5th (with an additional $200 by July 10th) to avoid eviction.
With a steady income via Patreon, my rent problem would be significantly easier to solve, or entirely solved. I could even invert some of that money back into my business and grow!
You can start reading my web novel right away for free, and also support me. You can also find a link to my Ko-fi, if you'd like to donate without compromising yourself to a monthly subscription. Tumblr always keeps me off the tags when I post more than one outside link.
Here's a post I've made with more info about my web novel (it's very gay and very long, though still at the first story arc).
If I make $500 by July 10th, via subscriptions or otherwise, I will write two bonus web novel chapters--either Patreon-exclusive ones separate from the main storyline, or two more Early Access chapters, or one of each. If you donate, you get to cast your vote. Writing is all I can offer as a show of my thanks, and lately I barely have the energy for that.
