@firstofficerrose I get it I get it. I did it to my dad. (And also I think to @bekabloodhound hehe. And I'm also working on doing it to one of my DND mates.)

Last week Monday he had to go on a seven hour train ride for work and I recommended him Raising Steam, the discworld book about trains. And engineers.

(my dad loves that stuff)

And when he came back on Tuesday I waited in the cold for close to an hour just so we could walk home together and talk about it. And we talked about it the entire way home and then even when we were home. I told him stuff about it and he asked me stuff about it.

It was great, actually.

I've been planning to convince my dad to listen since I've first read it myself. (We have a really similar sense of humor, so I basically knew he'd love it even though it's not what he usually listens to.)

And it worked! The plan worked!

The plan worked!!

So yeah, I get it.
