@DFresh11 Can you let me know if this is an oxymoron?
Yes, yes it is an oxymoron.
As opposed to a paradox, which is contradictory, but could be true, this is simply contradictory.
And thanks to whoever recommended the Locke Lamora books - I had picked them up, but got bored with the setup and didnāt push through. Tried again, and Iām enjoying them.

Because Iām an English teacher, Iām actually legally required by the state of Virginia to remind you that itās āonomatopoeiaā ā which is still one of the funnest words to say in the English language.
Thanking you sir/ maāam. I had great english teachers my entire school years and if you need me to recite The Jabberwocky on cue I can

Man, the jubjub bird is the least of your problems:
Itās the jaws that bite, the claws that snatch
that will get you every time.
Nah man. It is the fumurous bandersnatch at the end of the day

Just finished Sunlit Man by Brando Sando and was severely disappointed. By far my least favorite of his books
A couple chapters into The Will of the Many by James Islington. Good so far, havenāt really gotten into the meat of the āmagic academyā conceit yet.
It wasnāt great, but Sunlit Man was a sci-fi western with Cosmere connections, which was fine by me. I liked it as much or more than the other books he wrote during the pandemic. I think maybe I liked Yumi pretty well too, but none of them made a big impression.
Have you gotten to Wind and Truth yet?
Being totally honest I want compelled by pretty much anything in Sunlit. Characters, conflict, setting all fell flat for me, but I did like the wider Cosmere lore and implications.
And no, Iāve been waiting on Wind and Truth. Going back through Hobbit and LOTR with some friends before starting WaT. Iāve heard mixed reviews so far, the series has changed a LOT since way of Kings
Would yall look at me differently if I said I am reading a Thomas Sowell biography presently called Maverick by Jason L Riley?
Read AUGUSTUS by John Williams and STONER by John Williams and tell me how they were both written by the same guy.
Yes.
Iām currently reading a series that Iām kind of obsessed with called Choose Your Own Adventure. Iām on volume 27: Murder in Jenkins Hollow, but Iām stuck. Should I go up the hill to warn the others or hitch a ride back to the gas station to call the police?
