Weekly "what are you reading" Thread #58 :marseyreading:

To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.

I'm reading "Fire & Blood" :marseygeorgerrmartin: and "La Guerre de Cent Ans" :marseyvampirecrusader:.

So far (Fire & Blood) I think Aenys I was a weakling and a naive idiot and that Maegor and Visenya had a point.

Finished Night is short, walk on girl. It's a master class in magical realism with an unreliable narrator. A little too post modern but it makes up for it with charm.

Wait, there's a novel of NIYWOG? I have this movie on my "will watch, any day now" list ever since I saw the trailer. Or are you making a weeb joke I'm too :marseyautism: to get?

No both Tatami Galaxy and Night is Short are based on light novels. Night is short follows the book more closely but made a few changes that worked really well for screen adaptation. The book is a little more saccharine.

Tatami Galaxy anime differs quite a bit plot wise from the book but again, absolutely for the best.

Tatami time machine is based on a play which I have not and will never read.

If you haven't watched Tatami Galaxy, Night is Short is essentially the ending to the series but it's also a complete stand alone movie that doesnt require any other context. It's one of my top 3 favorite animes, it's absolutely fantastic in every respect

light novels

That explains why I have never heard of it.

Tatami

I watched maybe two episodes but it never grabbed me, I'm probably going to settle for watching Night is Short, any day now (5 years and counting)
