10/10. Now fully equipped in the knowledge of how to successfully engage in the trickiest of all battlegrounds. The dating world.

I love Art of War because whenever someone quotes it they're easier the world's biggest prick or Buddha reincarnate. no inbetween.

Alright mate jeez. I've just donated blood, can you allow me to feel good about myself for just a few hours before telling me how it is.

I've always believed you were Buddha lead us to enlightenment!

Currently reading The Rig (nothing to do with the amazon show) by Roger Levy. It's a kind of Sci fi epic, which is a genre I'm loving right now. Also re reading The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. And I'm listening to audio books of the Expanse series when I'm on my work commute.

I've just finished The Ministry of Time. Someone sold me on it being sci-fi with a romance background but I found it the other way round. Nice read, good pallet cleanser, do wish the author expanded upon some of the really cool concepts they brought up, though.

If anyone has seen the TV Show "The Terror" it's a bit related to that. Would definitely recommend that show.

I do prefer my reading to be more miserable so I'll probably move on to The Road by Cormac Mccarthy, next. Hopefully as bleak as Blood Meridian.

Just about to finish off Heir to the Empire (FINALLY got around to reading the Thrawn Trilogy, black king be proud of me!) And its honestly kind of shocking how legitimately good it is lmao. Gonna keep reading through to the trilogy before I start Dune after Soph got me a copy without Timothee Chalamet on the cover (love her more than anything tbh based and epic gift).

Been wanting to double bill The Road and The Postman for a while, hope it's decent!

Started reading Fatherland, by Robert Harris recently. I had forgotten his name but knew it began with Ro and his surname was Harris, so I told my friend that it was written by Rolf Harris, thinking that I had remembered his name. Suffice to say, my friend looked at me quite oddly after that, and I didn't realise until hours later..
