Pickpick

I really enjoyed this. It's a highlight of my year. I read it in the morning for 20 to 40 minutes and relished it, reading only six or so pages at a sitting, for about 3 months.

I loved the humor, the language, the tone, the poetry of sound (and spelling), and the linguistic play. I‘m looking forward to Canterbury Tales.

Some of the spoils of my “pretend to be a tourist day” with @brandybear22 yesterday — fancy candy and the penguin she won for me in the arcade. We wrapped the day with her reading a bit more to me: we‘d abandoned poor Troilus for too long!

But if you find a word you think is clever,
Use it but once, don‘t harp on it forever!

kgriffith Such sage advice. 😉 5y

brandybear22 @kgriffith I don‘t think it counts in the gay 🤷🏻‍♂️ but, yeah 5y
kgriffith @brandybear22 probably not, though I‘m pretty sure that bit about the thousand swords and the guy being hot was allegorical. 5y
