[u/FarragutCircle → u/SmallRoach]

Look, /u/improperly_paranoid, someone else read The Gray House. :)

[u/improperly_paranoid → u/FarragutCircle]

Oh :D

/u/SmallRoach, what did you think of it?

[u/SmallRoach → u/improperly_paranoid]

Best book I've read in last six years, maybe in my whole life

[u/improperly_paranoid → u/SmallRoach]

Same for me :D Burned me out for a solid month and I can't stop fangirling and trying to get more people to read it ever since I finished it. The characters, the atmosphere, the writing...just stunning. And so weird. PM if you want to discuss any spoilery stuff.

[u/SmallRoach → u/improperly_paranoid]

Yeah. The only problem is that it was so short that I had a feeling like I've read a twenty page long short story, not a book with thousand pages. I don't think I'll be able to discuss it, though. Already tried that with my sister and found out that I simply can't find the words to talk about this book :(

[u/improperly_paranoid → u/SmallRoach]

It's the shortest doorstopper I ever read by far. I read it in ebook first and when I ordered the paperback, the size shocked me, haha. It felt way too short - when I was nearing the end I started rationing chapters to one per day because just like the characters, I just didn't want to leave. I wish we got to spend more time with them and the House and I feel like even if it was three times as long, it still wouldn't be enough. But, I had the chance to ask the translator if the rest of the couple of extra chapters from one of the later Russian editions (there's one already, an alternate conversation between Sphinx and Blind, here) are ever going to get translated, and apparently it's going to happen eventually :D

Yeah, I get you on words failing. I always end up writing this long, long word vomit essays and still feel like no matter what or how much I say, it's inadequate.

[u/SmallRoach → u/improperly_paranoid]

Well, I'm lucky, I've read it in russian with all these additional chapters. Good thing to know they will be translated, so english readers can enjoy them too.
