Can't seem to get to page 748. Making a post to see if it's me or the internet.

Yeah that doesn't make a difference, it's just a more specific form of saying 'that's lame'

Just started a five-book re-read of the recently deceased Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Looking forward to awakening some memories of my first experience with this, um, pentology.

Though mine looks like this:




The thing is mighty interesting, and actually inspires some thought, especially compared to the one I’ve just finished:



They both have basically the same idea behind them („the world isn’t that bad, y’know?”), but when I’ve found Rosling to be a collection of only the „Sweet” and no „sour”, written like it was for some corporate investors, Bregman seems like more of an actual intelectual who had thought things through and wants to share with you some great piece of knowledge.

I could read those out of nostalgia, but the ones after would probably be a slog. Nothing really happens and it turns into fanfic basically. Can't read any of her other stuff cause literally all of her characters are versions of her who like the same music and art and won't shut up about them. Even her descriptions of what it's like mentally and emotionally to be a vampire are just descriptions of bipolar disorder which I'm sure she has.

I can certainly see how some Brits were mighty pissed off about this report - especially when it comes to Churchill’s part.

Interim Report on the Connections between Colonialism and Properties now in the Care of the National Trust, Including Links with Historic Slavery.

Honesty is a bitch. Just ask a right-wing American!

Yeah me too. I never read anything through after MTD: I tried Violin, bloody hated it, so depressing. Pandora didn't interest me, never bothered with Marius or Armand or any of the others. Never read her witch cycle or mummy cycle, and have no interest in her "life of Christ" books. So like you say, those five and that's more or less it. I might at some point read the "new" Lestat books, but I wonder what is left after you've met God and the Devil? Got to be a comedown after that?
