Randomly remembered that in the Golden Compass series, the study of physics is referred to as "applied theology". I think that's kind of neat.
(the series as a whole is something I have a lot of complex feelings about.)
I want to talk about books with people in depth. Not strictly books that are High Literature or whatever. Most stories worth a damn have a lot going on and there's value in trying to understand it.
@starkatt We're often up for talking about books! But usually specific books and we really don't like spoilers so ti has to be one we've read.
@starkatt I also love that electricity is specifically called "amberic". It's pretty much accurate. In this world, electricity was named after the Greek word elekron, meaning amber. :-)
@emanate I love that too :)
Actually, my feelings per book:
1: fuck yeah
2: weird loss of narrative momentum but okay
3: ...wot. Buddy you're trying to do too many things at once and not many of them actually work together.
