Jesuits are a whole nother thing from my observations. Being ingrained with a philosophy of questioning does not undermine faith changes their approach to basically everything

I assume that a corporation like Max Rager is thinking weapons, or biological warfare because that is always profitable. either that or zombify important or rich people and then offer a cure for an astronomical amount of money.

…yes

Saw Moonlight this weekend. It was a beautiful movie and i felt like i was holding my breath throughout the entire thing. Very powerful

no worries i just got back from moonlight

Grumpy Old Liv:

yup I remember that and remember wondering whether Roger would lose money on day 2

As I said, I totally understand that sentiment and while I share it time to time, I am just explaining why I find myself a lot less rigid about fantasy bloat

i get that, but one of the things that attracted me to the genre was the ability to live in a new world, so i find myself more ok with bloat than most

the thing here was that while some form of this end seemed necessary the form it took was dissatisfying as it gave both too much and too little info

ah whoops, i was too quick to respond. but i agree he is an author who suffers from word bloat but i find that i like a lot of his stuff despite that. probably because despite the bloat he structures his plots well and he usually has some excellent characters

i think you are thinking of the third book in the series because i have the paperback of Dragonbone Chair in one volume (but the paperback for the third book is two books that are both ridiculously fat)

Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn ends fantastically in my eyes, but man does it take a long time to get going

sounds good to me, 5 iZombie episodes this weekend then!

even so that is impressive

that was my target number as well (which i just hit)

christ it gets worse than White Jazz?

oh crap i forgot about Vikings! but I too am totally cool with iZombie first (it was between that the 100 for me) so lets do that! 4 or 5 for sunday?

wait seriously 110 this year? holy crap that is impressive

I finished Seveneves which was a good book in the vein of the Martian (smart people science-ing the shit out of stuff) for 2/3 of the book and then a weird mix between an overly long epilogue, a sequel contained in the same book and an endless coda for the last third. I still don't know what to think of that last…
