Reader’s Note
6 out of 10
I lost the thread around Christmas and never really got it back. Kept turning back to work out who was where. Fond of it, but this one beat me and it has gone on the shelf half done.

book three!! the one Priyesh calls bloated. is it bloated? yes. on purpose though, which is a completely different thing. the flashbacks are the best writing in the series. read the last stretch in one sitting and then had to phone somebody.9 out of 10@hollowknightfan99

Moby-Dick reviewed by @thebigsleepy
September to May. The whaling chapters are the ones people warn you about and they turned out to be my favourite part; a few pages of rope or blubber is about right for a Tuesday.8 out of 10Moby-Dick
Meditations reviewed by @thebigsleepy
Four pages a night suits this one better than most. He wasn't writing a book, he was talking himself round, and you can take him in small doses without losing anything. I've been through it twice now.8 out of 10Meditations
The Fellowship of the Ring reviewed by @thebigsleepy
Read some of it aloud to myself, quietly, which I'd never done with any other book. Bree, the Barrow-downs, the long stretch of walking that everybody complains about. I liked the walking best.9 out of 10The Fellowship of the Ring
