Tildes Book Club - Have you started Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov?

I've only just barely started. I'm looking forward to this one.

      I hope you like Tea Girl. I know it's long although it came in under our length limit. That may be something to address with the group.

        No it's all me, it's harder to read serious stuff for me right now and I keep diverting to litrpg or similar junk food. It's a stress reaction. I'm enjoying it so far but I'm not that far in

      I'd love to see what you have to say about Tea Girl.

    I've begun but I'm not far at all. I decided to start this one now, and try to squeeze in Tea Girl before the next month since I'm already behind. I did finish my Stormlight book though, so that's a big obstacle out of the way.

    How about you, @tanglisha? Did you get through yours? I just finished Oathbringer, the third mainline book. I'm enjoying them, but storms are they large. The latest, Wind and Truth, is 1,344 pages!

      I honestly didn't even try with tea girl. I've got some stuff going on in my life right now that made me think it would be a rough read for me. So I'm sticking with sci-fi, fantasy, and comfort reads for a while.

        Sanderson books are nothing if not comfort reads. To me, they feel like catching up on a favourite sitcom. There's enough story to stay engaged, but you don't have to think too hard about it.

        I hope things improve soon. Sci-fi and fantasy are also my comfort genres.

    I’m halfway through my current read (There Is No Antimemetics Division) which is great but also short, so I’ll be done with that soon. After that? Pnin!
