I see what you're saying... but book 5 had mechanical werewolves riding horses with lightsabers throwing harry potter weapons. He really went all out there.

I think the craziest thing was the fact that he wrote himself into the book. When he first came into the story I was like no way this motherfucker had the balls to write himself into this shit. Somehow he pulled it off though. Never would have thought that possible.

^^^^ Saddest fictional death ever

He wrote himself into most of his books as a participant or just an observer. Very well done I say.
In the Tower series I do feel he must have been tripping hard writing about mechanical werewolves or other oddball items but they denote a future in our real world where mechanical and electronic things will be more a part of our lives.
You fuckin Dick. That shit just hit me right in the feels lol.
If you've read the books and that line doesn't hit you right in the feels you must some kind of stone cold killer, lol.
Totally agree. In fact the second I read it it brought me right back to that moment I read it. Then a split second after that I thought of when oy dies and now my day is pretty much ruined and I’m all depressed. Lol
Another kind of shocking book death was from one of the later WoT books. I won't say too much, but one of the kind of main female characters just gets suddenly killed in an explosion. When it happens it's kind of barely mentioned in passing. I thought it was really fucked up and I looked it up and found out Robert Jordan wrote it like that because he was a Vietnam vet and it reflected how things really went down in war. Death comes suddenly and you can't stop to think about it much until later.
I belong to a DT Facebook group and someone posted that quote right after I had to have my cat put down last December. Hit me hard in the feels.
I can totally understand that.

Nope, good movie though.

your telling me, i read it when i was about 18, but there was this one i read when i was about 13 called night of the juggler by william p mcgivern
not something a 13 year old should read.
i think theres something about reading things vs watching like a movie that just sticks in your mind that much more
a kid in a used book store that loves to read and all paperbacks are 50cents???? get the wrong one in your hands and you've got trouble
give that one a go
NERDS!!!

I read the malcolm x autobiography twice this year... amazing book
To be someone so passionate about beliefs that are so steeped in trauma but so willing to reevaluate when faced with new information... good stuff.
I also read the whole kurt Vonnegut catalog this year again. I love all his books.
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance was also pretty mind blowing.
