Why do you regret it?

[Anonymous No.7894794]

Fire and Ice series. Books were so awful I quit midway through the second one. I'll stick with the show.

I bought a Warhammer and Witcher book (read The Last Wish) and stopped buying video game books.

It just wasn't interesting. The best by far was Mile 81 though. I felt cheated because none of them were really scary and the reading was tedious because the suspense was so weak. PLUS I wanted some goddamn monsters and there really weren't any except in Mile 81. Almost none of the stories left me thinking (Afterlife and Mister Yummy are exceptions though.) Those 3 and Summer Thunder were the only good ones in the book, but none of them even came close to stuff like Dolan's Cadillac and his earlier collections.

It's not the buying that I regret with bad books but the wasted time attempting to read them.

I don't think they're bad; The Last Wish was fun a fun time. I just am not interested Fantasy too much.

Doing a thesis on Shakespeare isn't very impressive, there's a wealth of information and books discussing his work. She sounds like a pleb that used Shakespeare as a launching platform to an easy bog-standard quality PhD. Good on her I guess, you should call her Dr. Pleb,

Fuck you asshole. You talk shit as if you actually are a doctor, but you're not. You're just an envious little prick with nothing better to do than try to belittle my friend's work. Kys jizzbucket.

Whats worse is when someome decides to get you books without consulting you at all, like someone bought me Girl on the Train for my birthday cos they knew I liked reading.

Highly enjoyable as a 14 yo desu

[Anonymous No.7896574]

I actually got the entire series up to book 12, read them too
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, i just realized how dumb it was.
each book barely evolved on the mystery at all, the events made no sense, and not in the funny way, but in the dopey way
There was pretty much nothing to them at all, just different settings for the same crap over and over again

for some reason I always remember that one part where someone's sick and the cure is wasabi, but they only have horseradish so they use that instead.

Damn… like, it's sweet they would think about buying you something based on your interests, but they could've found out at least an author or the type of books you're interested in.

$120 for an Icarus Illumina HD, $10 for a 16 gb microSD card, and an Internet connection for a lifetime worth of books.

And Wasabi, a three-syllable word, was Sunny's first word
And she just naturally had a perfect understanding for everything about making food
And was just as able to survive hours without food as her siblings
and could deliver luggage all on her own to a specific room in a hotel

I know was done for
1 humor and
2 give the baby some actual characteristics
but it was so dumb, the whole series are just one cop-out after another
i don't know why i suddenly realized it, and i don't know why i even put up with it for 12 books

I guess it's like when i used to read CAD and LICD, i didn't even pay attention to what was happening, i just wanted something to spend my time on

0$ for a Samsung Tab gifted to me, 0$ for a 16G SD card found on the train.0$ for Internet Connection stolen from neighbors for a lifetime of books.

Narrative that's all over the place, drier than the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Middle English that annoys you, unlike Canterbury Tales.

What was it that made you say that?
The fact that i used to read ASOUE, CAD, LICD or something else?

And if you didn't get it, i did stop reading all that years ago
