Three adverbs and dull prose. This may be cherry-picking, but based on that one sentence she is an awful writer.

[Anonymous No.5265113]

I just realized I've never seen the larger version of Laurie Penny's Twitter icon. That's because the only time I ever see it is when somebody posts a screenshot of Penny saying some inciteful on Twitter in a /lit/ thread.

That also reminded me that if it were not for this board, I wouldn't even know who the fuck she was in the first place. Good job.

That version of the series has the best maps. Beautiful fold out maps in red and black ink. I think I spent as much time explorering that map as I did the pages. I used to have them framed before I put childish things behind me.

I feel bad for those who read the series from cheap paperbacks with the dark smudged map split between two tiny pages.

I spent all summer in the library cramming through summer classes. When I needed a break, i'd take a walk through the stacks and find something interesting to skim. Sometimes I'd take one back with me. Classes are finally over so I have a week before the next semester starts. Hoping to get through half of the stack by then.

Just fished this out of the archive.

"/lit/ history lesson. Chapter 32:

"Iranman Alekseyevich wanted to sample The Kharmsian Delights for himself, but an evil dictator wouldn't let him. So he spat, and ventured onto the interwebs where he met Ocranon Smentov.

Ocranon Smentov had a good heart, and promised to help the noble Arab on his mission, but he became corrupted by an ideal vision of the future and he stabbed Iranman Alekseyevich in the back while two old ladies tumbled from a window.

We all watched in terror. All hope seemed to be lost for Iranman Alekseyevich, when out of nowhere two humble knights called Scanbro Gorshkov, and Designbro Rokossovsky came to the rescue. They picked up Iranman Alekseyevich by the scruff of his neck, and, after removing a grape from his eye, allowed him to view the wondrous splendour of The Kharmsian Delights.

Everyone was overjoyed as Scanbro Gorshkov and Designbro Rokossovsky also revealed the delights to the world too. We threw a child into a pit to celebrate. That's all I'm going to say about it."
