Been reading the latest Black Company book, and I can really see Glen Cook's innerweeb grow. 25 years ago (Real time. Not book time), the Black Company was last seen moving to fantasy Tibet. Now every other new character has a Japanese name with "no" (with the n being lower case) as their middle name.

So long as the Rapture doesn't happen this Honnikah, sure? General rule of thumb is if you don't like the first book, give the second a shot since it is structually a lot different as it wasn't written as a bunch of novellas duck-taped together.

1 hour after writing this comment, I got bombarded by a bunch of new chinese names. So Glen remembers that other parts of Asia do exist.

Although I am a bit unusual since I didn't get introduced to the Black Company series through the books, but a WarCraft III custom campaign based off of the first book. I liked it's income system.

no, what happened is the following Pika thinks "everyone is here. I will post this." He then types the first part of his message. However he then thinks "wait, what if the full cast is not actually here?" So he places his eye cursor on the leftmost figure and begins to verify one by one left to right that each member of the cast is there. But he wants to save his memory since he has a lot of other things on his mind, so he decides that he'll forget each character's name after he recognizes it, and instead just remember how many of the cast members appeared. When his eye seeks to the end and verifies the last character, he knows that the whole cast is there because the number he counted is the same as the cast size. But there's a problem... Because he didn't remember the names of each one, he doesn't know what to write in the message! He thinks "I COULD return my eye cursor to the beginning, and then go from left to right and write the name of each character. BUT, then I would end up moving twice the amount..." He realizes that in order to best preserve the number of uses of his eyes, which can only traverse a fixed number of degrees in their lifetime, it's more efficient to instead write the name of the characters in reverse order starting from his current position at the right.

I think this is a fascinating read: https://a.co/d/8kMCuEk It's more of a personal story, it's fascinating. The writer was a Peace Corps volunteer for Uzbekistan for 3 months before he got culture shock and pleaded to go home, and then some years later, he decided to go back and visit the friends he made. The book is half history and half a travel blog. If you enjoy the travel blogs from mattlakeman.org then this book is a much more in-depth version of those blogs.
Chasing the Sea

In 1996, Tom Bissell went to Uzbekistan as a na•ve Peace Corps volunteer. Though he lasted only a few months before illness and personal crisis forced him home, Bissell found himself entranced by this remote land. Five years later he returned to explore the shrinking Aral Sea, destroyed by Soviet...
