#dresdenfiles

Caught up on my #DresdenFiles. That last one was a bit of a slog, and had /serious/ GameMasterAnthony's birthday party thread vibes, but still fun enough. Def a bit of a “ok well either he gets back on track after this, or it's really just off the rails” pivot point tho.

Next is back to #Discworld with Reaper Man, I enjoy a good Death-focused romp which I assume this will also be.

After that I reckon it'll be back to scifi for a while, this will be the 4th fantasy(ish) book in a row.

Reading plot summaries of the #DresdenFiles as prep for picking it back up (at Peace Talks) and realizing that, wow, okay. Butcher is /obsessed/ with parricide. Nearly every single frigging book involves extreme family on family ultraviolence.

Sure it’s usually of the “evil always backstabs itself” variety, but like, sheesh.

I just watched The Batman last night and had a realization.

Harry Dresden is Batman.

They both
Are detectives
Fight unusual crime that the city can't handle
Live in "Chicago"
Have an underground lair
Vigilante
Make all their own tools
Wear a big flappy outer garment
Are known for their willpower
Can take a hell of a beating
Trained a protege who didn't choose the path they expected
Orphan
Wear all black to important events
Strict don't kill people rule

Continued thread

Also I guess it's nice to see a brief history of nearly everything I've read (that wasn't manga) since ~2012ish.

(he says, staring at a very large number of #DresdenFiles volumes 🙃 look, I'm not a pretentious person, okay??)
