How to do a buddy read

Grab a person and go "Hey wanna read [x] with me?" If they don't want to, try another book or another person

Agree on a start date

Discuss spoiler policy (ex: a reread for both? Probably no further rules. First time read? Check which chapter your buddy's at when discussing)

Discuss the book as you go!

Discuss the book when you're both done

???

Profit

Winding Up the Week #398

An end of week recap “I finally found a setting for despair…So I put it on my schedule for twice a month; I think that’s a reasonable amount of time to feel hopeless about everything…” – Philip K. Dick We are heading off to Liverpool this weekend to spend time with friends and celebrate a wedding, which is the reason why this post is a little (ahem!) early. However, I hope to see you at the usual…

the thing about trying to recommend fiction podcasts to someone who isn't familiar with them is that not only are so so many genres represented but also the level of production can fall anywhere from "basically an audiobook" to "major motion picture minus the pictures"

there's nothing quite like a random piece of media you consumed ages ago and loved at the time but kinda forgot about after coming back to you years later absolutely out of nowhere like "you thought you could forget about me? don't worry! i'm here to be the only thing you care about yet again" and then the cycle repeats

it's fun but also painful because the intensity of the obsession revived makes it hard to focus on anything else like someone get these fictional people out of my head please

Part 3 of my buddy re-read of the Raven Tower with @ofliterarynature (sorry Im being so so slow 😭)

I reached 75%! This book is slow going, but I really enjoy how the pieces start falling into place. The whole thing about gods figuring out the way the world works, and that making their powers more efficient, is such a cool part of the worldbuilding!

I now remember why I don't really like Mawat (not a fan of people who strangle their friends when they don't hear what they want, lol) but Eolo remains a neat protagonist. I really enjoy the ways his transness is alluded to, never outright stated but nevertheless undeniable.

I'm nearing the end and realizing I don't remember at all how it resolves, but despite my slowness Im having a good time with it. Its such a weird (affectionate) little book

"i was born in the wrong generation" I wasn't. i love existing at the same time as fan culture. i love knowing I can make a post saying "character a wears big ass pants and is obsessed with character b's thighs" and fifty percent of people are gonna agree with me while the other half call me a dumb bitch because of it. it's great.
