Lifelong reader, first time wyrmer here! Most of my reading happens at bedtime, and takes me to sci-fi or fantasy. I’ve also been digging books with LGBTQ+ characters or themes.

I placed a hold on this book at my local library, which appears to have raised me into the ranks of "cool patrons," in the eyes of the staff. They recognized me when I came in and had my holds ready by the time I got to the desk. And I learned that it is one of the folks' favorite books!
Content warning Dodsworth was published in 1929
This last chapter of Dodsworth ends with Sam returning to the US and disillusioned with his home country. We get pages of rants from Ross Ireland, a foreign correspondent Sam is traveling with. He finds New York ugly, noisy, and overly-devoted to the American God of Speed. Prohibition is called out for its idiocy, and they keep mentioning US foreign affairs as morally wrong. Idk, it’s Neat™️ to read “America sucks rn” but from 96 years ago.

I enjoyed this quite a lot, but a bit less than Legends and Lattes. If the author writes a third book featuring an orc warrior enjoying baked goods and chill spaces, I will read it.

Refreshing! Maybe I should read more 80s-90s fantasy.

I am determined to finish this book, but I am more invested in myself as a person who reads than in any of the characters.
