Right? So often people take it to somewhere like Reddit so they can just focus on the numbers in agreement and support.
My favourite thing to remind people, “ just because you have a lot in support, doesn’t mean you’re right or justified.”
The amount of people who say, “yeah okay!’ How can I be wrong if people agree with me?!”

Why does it matter to think, or clarify you’re superior to them in reading habits, preference or comprehension? That’s weird and superficial in a messed up way lol. Kind of the point of book clubs I think to ah e differing views and perceptions. To help each other understand or see things.
I comprehend things further than most people, and I don’t think of them as beneath me or even consider they have a smoother brain. You have a massive ego if that’s how you’re viewing it. People who don’t see as deeply as I do, enjoy hearing me explain the things they don’t pick up on. Or how I connect things, bc even if it’s not accurate, it’s a different view. It’s a perception. They like hearing it from that way, and it gets them thinking, and sometimes they pick up on something in a different way from it, or notice more I haven’t.
Worth noting, we’re able to talk like that because I don’t view them or myself, the way you are viewing your group, and self. I have a feeling you explaining stuff would come across varying kinds of condescending.

Omg that’s epic lol I love it. I’m not a bard type player, I love them so much, they seem beyond me though lol. I bonded with Wisp over the escape into fantasy worlds thing too. Books are where I lived growing up. And where I’ve gone back to after missing them for awhile.

If you don’t already have the other book, just get it in a thrift shop. Avoid the money going into his pocket.

I hear the voices of characters when I read. When I switch to an audiobook sometimes I struggle to accept their voice in the role bc it’s not what I imagined for them. Others are spot on to mine, or are better.
