Hey epilogue question big bro...am I making this up or have you posted about a book series more involved and detailed than GoT? Search isn't helping me. This may have been at least 5 years ago.

Hmmmmm... I can't think of what it would be.

I must have dreamed it was you. I didn’t think you were big into the fantasy genre so I’m not sure my mind was stuck on this

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Taking a weekend trip to Illinois soon and I plan on finally tackling this tome at the airport and on the plane:

Nice LV. I tried the Moses bio some years back. Loved what I read but didn’t keep with it.

I’m a huge fan already. Loved The Power Broker and The Path to Power. Working and Means of Ascent were also very good. Highly recommend the documentary about him and his editor called Turn Every Page if you haven’t seen it.

Haven’t seen the doc, but NPR replayed an interview with him when the doc came out. I could listen to him talk for hours. Did he read any of his audiobooks I wonder?

The only one he’s read was Working, which is part of why I listened to that one instead of reading it. Very enjoyable.

I know zilch about this, but I loved Middlesex so may as well give it a go

Audiobook. Couldn't get more than a third of the way into it because the voice narrator was truly terrible. One of the worst I've heard.

let us know if it’s smut.

I read it when it came out. It’s been a while.

I probably won’t get it because I know nothing about women or marriage

What are your thoughts on John Irving, s_t?

What are your thoughts on John Irving, s_t?

I read a bunch of his books in high school. It’s been a long, long time but I liked them then.

The world according to garp and a prayer for Owen meany are great

Those are the only two I’ve read, but it’s been a long time.
