I am still reading! Just too busy to post 👹 My immediate revelation on switching to print copy: some chapters have been published b4, which makes total sense! Each part, each life cycle, seems to have a slightly different vibe (tone, tense, etc) so it does feel a bit like a series of short stories

The copyright acknowledgement of Rakesfall, showing that several chapters were previously published in various short fiction journals from 2016-2021

Why yes, that's right, Chuck Tingle is empirically better than Moby-Dick. (Of course this is very silly but the point is that creating things does not have to be a competition and everyone is the best at being themselves and creating what they create ❤️❤️❤️)

Moby-Dick has a 3.57 rating on Goodreads

Moby Butt has a 3.63 rating on Goodreads

Had a blast seeing Chuck Tingle in Cleveland. For my 📖🐋 crew, how do you think Moby-Dick stacks up against this classic Tingler? (based on Goodreads ratings, a *totally scientific* way to compare) Also, shout out to the audience member who said Cleveland's motto is "We're not Detroit" 😂

Finally got a print copy on catch up day! 👹 I've been enjoying the audio but there are so many specific phrases I want to comment on and now I can go backand look them up 😂

Ahhh I had these ones a few years back and have been searching ever since!

This is Juhani. (Yes the KOTOR character) For some reason we all call her Miss Miss about half the time. I also call her baby girl a lot.

A first for us, where the author is not only still living but also on Bluesky 😂 📖

Ok the cover of my Kindle version is starting to make more sense. 🐾

A blue book cover with a illustration of a rope wrapped around a tree then descending into red brick well. A black cat sits in the tree, which has no leaves. The book is The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

Just as Jane Austen 🛁 knew that the real horror of life is unexpected visitors, it seems Murakami 🐾 knows that the real horror of life is unexpected phone calls. #introvertproblems

A tweet from fran (@galacticidiots): Jane Austen's works are timeless classics because she knew the real horrors in life are having to listen to men who think they're better than you and receiving unannounced visitors. 7/31/21

This is how I found out, after 40 years of life, that I am actually gay. Who knew? 🐾

A screenshot of text from Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle with this highlighted: “Somebody told me gays are lousy whistlers. Is that true?”

We are all just doing the best with what we have today.

I was looking for a digital edition that has the canceled chapters of Persuasion 🛁 and came upon this instead... Do I try it? 🫣

A book cover with a ship and the lower half of a woman's face. The title is "Persuasion: Wild and Wanton Edition" by Micah Persell and Jane Austen

I've got my comfy Austen pants on, ready to watch Persuasion! 🛁
