 itzexor | nice | 18:59:45 |
| itzexor | i listened to 1-3 then decided that should probably be the end of it | 18:59:56 |
 benonymity | yeah, the first trilogy is solid, goes downhill after | 22:30:30 |
 evequefou | Listening to Simon Vance's narration of Paradise Lost. It's so complex that I wouldn't be shocked if there were a wooden just-manage-this delivery on occasion. But he's doing a bang-up job declaiming complex verse with inflection and personality. I'm really impressed. | 23:51:41 |

| benonymity | Not sure what to think about this…surpassing Jim Dale is an impossible task | 03:54:04 |
 suburbanvampire | Am I the only person on Earth who is just over Harry Potter as a thing? Like, there are a lot of other books out there, many written for like actual adults. Half the HP books are just way too "for kids" for me, while simultaneously having weirdly hateful prose and choices that I wouldn't put in a "book for kids" 🤷♂️ | 04:40:28 |
 realwalts | Not my first choice to read now, but looking forward to reading them to the kids when they get a bit older. | 06:36:17 |
| realwalts | Looking forward to the kids saying "Stop doing voices dad." | 06:36:50 |
 tdderpy | I'm personally over them for the reason of JK has become completely insufferable and a horrid person on twitter. so there's no way i plan on given her another penny of my money. Not that it'll change much for her at this point, but i refuse to support her. If i ever want to get a copy of the books for like my kids or something it's 100% charity shops/seccond hand for me. | 07:52:58 |
| tdderpy changed their profile picture. | 07:52:58 |
| suburbanvampire | LOL, anytime I see her in headlines, my brain just mentally goes "Shut up, Joanne!" | 07:53:36 |

| duplaja | Eh, it really sparked an entire generation of readers, or a large group of them, so from that context, still relevant to me | 10:40:00 |
| duplaja | They grew with the readers of that time | 10:40:26 |
| duplaja | As they aged | 10:40:31 |
 dieseltech | Yeah that's fine that they aren't for you anymore. Nothing wrong with that and frankly it's important to recognize that | 14:14:38 |
| dieseltech | Series we grew up with as kids won't always stay with us as adults | 14:16:25 |
| dieseltech | Especially series that are designed and written for young teens / young adults | 14:16:53 |
