Luke: grue fodderJan 1

(Books I read will be added as replies to this thread as I complete them.)

Planning the pages: 2025 edition

Yeah nah.

@captainfez A favourite 🥰
Many quotable quotes like:

"I’m a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe."

and the one that resonated strongly with my binary 20-something self:

"If a woman sleeps alone, it puts a shame on all men"
