An extra special Gratitoot for my birthday! 😊 For those who haven't seen Dr Alice Violett has written a very good review of my story The Last Philosopher. And I think you should check out her blog even if you have no interest in my story 😁 draliceviolett.com/the-last-ph @books @reading@fedigroups.sociall @fantasy @bookstodon @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop #Mastodon #Gratitude #Celebration #Indie#Reading #Readers#Fiction #Fantasy #Comedy #SFF #Funny #Satire #Bookstodon #FantasyBooks#Review #Bookreview #Books

In The Last Philosopher Part 1 and 2, by Nick East, we're introduced to the planet of Huom: home to long-lived sorcerers, imprisoned philosophers, ingenious β€œKnomes”, ordinary folk with varying proportions of human-ness, and all manner of other mix-and-match beings.

Planetside, there are three storylines we follow: sorcerer Philrsep) fer
Lyeasrakardsul, headmaster of the school of Dalcimir in the city of Pentakl, has recently been plagued by dreams of darkness and is on the brink of betraying his principles and asking the Knomes for help; philosopher Herschel is on the run after escaping the not-particularly-secure desert prison of Zig-Zig; and Earl Westman, marshal of the town of Stagna, is preparing to catch a notorious chicken thief (and alleged pervert) and bring him to justice.
 

I'm both of these readers...

So God impregnated a teenage girl so she could give birth to his son... who was also himself... so he could sacrifice himself... to himself... to convince himself to forgive humanity... for breaking rules he created.

This is why I almost exclusively read books by female authors. Men can't write fiction for shit

Being friends with introverts is hard sometimes. Did they die? Are they just recharging? Are they batman now? The suspense is killing me.
 

As a middle-aged man I still identify with Alice in Wonderlands "required to play along with adults nonsense" πŸ€” I'd like to suggest the subtitle: "10-years-old and already sick of your bullshit." πŸ˜‚ @reading @bookstodon @books @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop #AliceInWonderland #Sick #OfYour #Bullshit#ReadingMemes #Meme #Humor #Humour #Funny #Geek#Reading #Readers #ReadingCommunity #AmReading#Novel #Books #Fiction #Bookstodon

look, here’s the thing: alice in wonderland’s enduring fucking charm is that
it perfectly captures the vibe of being a very tired and annoyed child who
is nonetheless required to play along with adult nonsense.

alice is dragged from place to place without warning, forced to play stupid
games with no good prizes, grilled over her schooling and manners and
recitation and dress, scolded, judged, insulted to her face, sent away,
given gifts she didn’t ask for and doesn’t like, corrected incorrectly, been
subject to shifting and arbitrary rules, and then when she gets snappish
with all this bullshit everyone acts like a little girl’s temper is the end of the
fucking world.

alice in wonderland isn’t a drug trip or a nightmare or a metaphor, that’s
just what being ten years old is LIKE. that’s why kids love it so much. even
if they can’t quite articulate how, they recognize themselves in it.

Last week I had a dream and the only thing I remembered about the dream
was a poster on a wall so I made the poster and put it on a wall and it was the fastest I have ever made a dream come true and it felt exhilarating like I had solved a mystery.

Poster of a dog reading a book titled Bones held by a human hand. With the repeated caption EVERYBODY READS! in the background.
