Finished "Pappyland: A story of Family, Family Boiurbon and Things that Last, " by Wright Thompson.

Never knew Pappy Van winkle was sold to Diaego but nice to know that 3rd generation is sstill involved.

The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku.
details the use of Hallucinogenic compounds in religion both ancient and modern. Fascinating read.

Knuckling or blowing out your mustaches...
Wtf?

51 pages from the end of the whole damn thing, as the Last Battle rages at Shayol Gul, what do you think old Thom Merrilin is doing?

Duuuuude...
I'm on book 10, which I think is the last one of the infamous "slog".
The smiles that don't touch the eyes is a snowball hauling ass downhill.
I honest to buddha have a facial muscle tick every time it pops up.
Which is every goddam page.

Edit:
Once good thing in this book. So far Perrin hasn't shown up. His character and story is ass, and every time his wife shows up, I want her dead.

I will say that the last book is proving to be a pretty good payoff for all of the slogging. After all the meandering and scenic tours everyone complains about in the middle and late middle books, this one is basically one giant battle on multiple fronts with engaging action, with every character you cared about and many you’d forgotten about getting their licks in and/or getting their just desserts in ways that mostly feel unforced and satisfying.

Cool...
I've heard good things about the end.
There's a YouTube book review girl I like, Merphy Napier, who said the ultimate character arcs are her favorite of any series.
I continue to have a love/hate relationship with his writing.

I’m still waiting, though, for one final instance of spymaster Balwer dry-washing his hands. And of course for Rand’s menage-a-quatre with Aviendha, Elayne, and Min.

No doubt I am extremely jealous of that quadrouple. He fell into the best situation.
Rand is a dick though.
Matt is by far the best character ( at least from the vantage point of where I'm at behind you )
I was always kind of horny for Lanfear.

Mat’s awesome. Perrin is also a bad-ass. Rand is definitely the Zeppo of the group.
