So, in the most recent Weekly Reader vid, I commented on how much you guys’ relationship warms my heart. I have to revoke that statement because I now I feel so sorry for Jakob. To have to endure the endless 1960s/70s pop culture references must be literal torture for him. You’re in my prayers Jakob, hang in there!

Let's just tackle the first one, cocktail hour: Rum and coke paired with The Sea Wolf by Jack London. I'm not sure if I'm required to love rum since i was in the Navy, but a book centered around a boy becoming a man on the high seas feels like a perfect pairing to me. Love seeing Jacob on here, the facial expressions match what I thought they'd be for his responses to pops.

For covers, I have a special edition of pride and prejudice, probably my favorite story, og enemies to lovers. But the person that is selling them is based in Canada, and the 3rd book in the jane austin collection just dropped for preorder, but my favorite is still p&p, and also the only one I've read so far, need to listen to Emma as that's the second one I have in that style, just getting through Emma's personality is a bit trying sometimes. There have been a lot of pretty special editions, I just can't afford them. Book hangover is Atlas Shrugged, but not a positive hangover, that one literally drained the life from me, maybe if it had vampires, it would've kept my interest because I honestly don't remember a single thing that happened. I read lotr after the movies and prefer the movies honestly. I'm not as attached to it as others are, probably cuz they read it before so there's some nostalgia bias. Books I couldn't put down were HP, I think a coworker brought the first one into the store or something, it hooked me. All nighters was pretty much everything I read before college, I'd go into my parent's bed and read all the books I exchanged to get more during the week, nancy drew I was big into. I think my stepdad worked nights, and my mom slept on the couch a lot so big bed for my reading time it was. I was such a reading machine growing up, but they were pretty short books compared to Stephen King. The 1st edition of IT also has one of my favorite covers with the claw and the sewage grate with the boat. And it's now all covers that scream "buy me" so it's hard to pick.

@@Talking_Story Here is another analogy that I think you may appreciate: I have to say Emily St. Mandel may be a victim of my Hobb Snobbery. After reading prose that is so incredible, it is hard to listen to prose that is in the everyday language. It is like swimming in the aqua cerulean blue water of the Caribbean then coming home and passing over the local water reservoir in your car! I hated reliving all the most current events in such detail. I heard King did the same thing in Holly. I have an hour left to go on the audio but my guess is the “traveler” himself has caused the anomaly. I was waiting for the book to get good and then realized I am almost done. If it was a chunker I would DNF.
