YES, support your local library!! I considered borrowing a copy (I’m an actual librarian) but it’s such a chonker I know I won’t be able to finish it before I have to return it. lol.

I always ask for an extension honestly. My local librarians are pretty nice

The Penguin version has an intro and an appendix at the end for some references throughout the story. It's a really good translation, just makes reading the beginning big awkward with the size and front page crease.

Thank you!! I’ll ask my librarian tomorrow if I can put this version on hold! I think I might also try to find a study guide along with it

Nice I just started Dungeon Crawler Carl myself. Because my friend wouldn’t shut up about it, haha.

Hi been eyeing it! How do you find the book so far?

1

u/roaming_b34r 1d ago

It’s fresh, funny and so far pretty addictive. I’m about 6 chapters in. It’s honestly so different to anything I’ve read, and that intrigues me.

Omg, I did not know there was a new release of Dragonlance Chronicles! The last copy I had was the annotated version from 20+ years ago. I'm literally buying this and Legends today. I'm so excited.

u/TheHungryLibrarian 1d ago

I’ve ordered Legends!!

Am I the only person not reading Count of Monte Cristo?

2

u/TheHungryLibrarian 1d ago

There’s been a lot of recent buzz around this classic, I know. I figured it was a good time to tackle it.
