Oh no. - I have a running joke that I don’t care for books that start out with maps. Maybe it’s because my sense of direction is terrible and I hate slogging through chapters of geographical descriptions? At any rate, I opened my latest library book today and had to laugh. This is a new one, for me.
https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/80541Me, just now: “Where the hell is Minorca??”
Rodd: “Right next to Mallorca.”
Me: “THAT IS NOT HELPING ME.”
Noting for posterity: first mention of buggery on page 21.
Me, before I started this book: “Master and Commander is serious historical fiction about boats and warfare.”
Captain Jack Aubrey, on page 29: “But I dare say it is much the same thing - a putain, as they say in France?”
Maturin: “btw the word is patois”
Me: *chokes*
@web_goddess the problem is he does stuff like this all the time and then kills off someone you love :(
