It was all right

Boring-ass historical fiction about finance and mental health sadness and suffering. Made it 2/3 through hoping it'd get better

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë
Bailedbailed

Reading through 200+ pages of a group of people all yelling at each other and threatening to harm each other... Honestly feel like this book gave me the flu. Avoid

800 pages of Thorgil Thorgilsson pirating around, forming blood feuds, exchanging giant rings and gilded swords, and "discovering" Canada. Did you know Vikings named it Greenland as a marketing tactic? So more Norsemen would want to move to that desolate place and keep them company.

Loved it

Uh I guess it started out pretty good but this is just action comics for repressed men back in the 1200s. Really really drawn-out, really ridiculous, what feels like 100+ pages of “and the very brave strong brave brave man easily defeated ~8000 enemies because of how brave he was“ give me a break. We get it, you think women are conniving. She just wanted a nice husband you jerks

edit: there IS a dude named Dankwart though (pronounced Dank Fart)

Mabinogion | Anonymous
Mehso-so

Um it's knights in brocaded silk roaming around and bedding maidens and killing earls and plucking the beard hairs off of strong men while they're knocked out (followed by killing them?). It's kind of a mess but don't worry, every maiden is the most beautiful woman possible: skin as white as a swan's ass, lips redder than the reddest blood, hair as blonde as broom flowers?, wearing brocaded silk, snow white booba, eyes like beautiful eyes-

The Poetic Edda: The Elder Edda | Anonymous, Benjamin Thorpe

It's like the prose edda but they are written more like poetry? Some parts dull as hell where they re-tell the same story 19 times (Sigmund!!!)

Subtle Knife | Philip Pullman

The second part of the trilogy, arguably more interesting than the first

edit: in retrospect i dont like it

lingui5t You should say more about why you didn't like it after thinking it was more interesting than #1. 11mo
Burpito I think the series ultimately left me with a sour taste in my mouth, especially with how it wraps up or where it was heading, and it seems to have a very mixed target demographic. Too scary for young adults at times and too winding and drawn out for adults at other times. And the climax for a lot of the main characters just doesn't sit right with me. Wasn't sure where it was heading after I finished 2 and I was ignoring the disturbing stuff 6mo

I liked these and if they cut out all the Rohan and Gondor parts I think I'd be happier. More Bombadil pls. Less angry Gandalf you're a mega wise ancient magic etc. etc. why you so dang crotchety c'mon son
