be me friend is talking about a book he's been reading sounds super cool from how he describes it awesome magic and fighting and great plot etc etc etc look up the title later its a fucking chapter book What the fuck is it with these authors, who come up with such great ideas but then dont have the willingness to make it a manga or even a graphic novel? Fuck my life, I got excited over nothing

People who hate chapter books, I want to see their reaction to books that don't have chapters. Just one giant wall of text. Plenty of books are like that. And I've never had the courage to start one.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series chiming in

I was so confused at first, but after “The Colour of Magic” I read “The Light Fantastic” in only three or four sittings…

I was indeed referring to terry Pratchett's work. Specifically night's watch.

And it cannot happen here by Sinclair Lewis.

I wonder how they would react to House of Leaves.
