One day I’ll dive into those.

Seeing so many blank posts now from amethyst users. I wonder if they know that no one can see their photos anymore (except other amethyst users). This is a huge L for nostr. nostr:note1rdjy2pfpps9xndryku4fklah83lpe2zwrz40n8zyl59t2k4e0gyquyhqw9

Have a month long African adventure planned for August.

I will be visiting South Africa, Kenya and Uganda

My plan is to orange pill as many small business and vendors as I can with my minimum goal of 1 per day.

I will be tipping as normal but "extra" tips will be given in sats

And suggestions strategies or plebs to follow with some experience are welcome so drop a note and I'll follow.

I have had some fun fantasy novel talks with bitcoiners recently.

I figured I would jot down some thoughts from my limited readings...

First series that got me into Fantasy:

The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist. Magician Apprentice/Master was assigned to me as a high schooler. This story of unassuming Pug and his friend Tomas hit me right at the perfect time. Their adventures meeting wizards, dwarfs, elves, and dragons hooked me into this genre of books, and I owe Ms. L a big thank you for the introduction.

Favorite world building:

A Song of Ice and Fire. Might be cliché but I don’t think anyone has done quite the job George RR has done building the history and lore that he has constructed in Westeros. Somehow this story lead me to dive headfirst into a history of a world that did not exist. Kudos to you George.

Favorite character writing:

First Law Trilogy + 3 follow up “stand alone” novels. Joseph Abercrombie has written some of the most memorable characters I’ve ever read all in one story. Logan Ninefingers, Sand Dan Glokta, Bayaz, Whirrun of Bligh, Bremer dan Gorst, & Nicomo Cosca are all some of the most memorable characters I’ve come across. There are some badass characters. There are some honorable characters and some conniving bastards. There are even have some pretty hilarious characters.

Most prolific writer: Brandon Sanderson.

He was able to complete Wheel of Time (have not read), and seems to have the ability to knock out monster novels yearly. His favorite series of mine is The Stormlight Archive. Book one "The Way of Kings" cover art is the source of my avatar. This story has a very interesting world, class structure, and magic system, as well as some great POV characters. Look forward to continue seeing where this series goes.

Favorite easy read:

Riyria Revelations & Riyria Chronicles by Michael J Sullivan. Straightforward stories that always tell a fun story. Hadrian & Royce are a great tag team.

Favorite stand alone book:

The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay. This book reads more like historical fiction than fantasy. It tells the story of great men, and how they battle things like relationships, religion, and duty. As you read, you are reminded that life is complicated, war is horrible, good people can do terrible things, and as new men rise up others must fall. Amazing book.

(Shoutout to Legend - David Gemmell & Watership Down - Richard Adams)

I'd love to hear any additional thoughts or recommendations. PV.

My son (2.5y) gave up his pacifiers this weekend. I’m so proud of him 😊

They grow up so fast, is a true saying.
