I'm with you, love and light to MA but anyone like this I'd want to avoid like the plague tbh

Martin has always struck me as a guy who wants to be Fantasy David Mamet but who, frankly, isn't talented enough (which...neither is Mamet), but the Dunk & Egg stories were a departure in that they were *stories* and not desperate bids for Pulitzers the way most of ASOIAF is.

I've gotta say that this is the first adaptation of the westerosiverse I've been legitimately excited for since... the first season of GOT? Because it really does feel like they're going for the storybook version rather than the "rar realism everyone's terrible!" version that they did for GOT/HOTD.

The older I get the more I realize a lot of these old white dude authors of the 19th/20thC are the literary equivalent of Brussels sprouts: people consumed them because there wasn't much else but we've made improvements in taste since then and we don't have to subject ourselves to this anymore

On my walk today I picked up John Updike's "Witches of Eastwick" because I've never read any Updike and I vaguely remember liking the movie, and I'm a little baffled as to why this dude is considered a Master of American Literature. It's just... guys it's the most tedious book alive

Did not expect Ellis to be my favorite of this season but the news that he buried a hedgehog he found dead in the road bc he wanted to give it a dignified funeral has won me over

Let me tell you what, volunteering at a zoo on a school holiday is WILD. In the summers I'll usually talk with a few dozen kids, and now that school's in session it's about a dozen, mostly pre-schoolers.

Today? We talked with over 150 kids. It was great, don't get me wrong! But WOAH.
