Lord of the Rings, where I'd do lots of orc fighting, or Star Wars, where I'd be a Grey Jedi, or Harry Potter world because it'd be great to be in such a magical crazy place you could do magic yourself. I wouldn't be a very lawful magic user though - who cares if Muggles find out! I'd probably end up being hunted by the Ministry.
If we're including comics then the DC Universe! But it only if I could get superpowers, otherwise I'd just be another Gotham victim...(less)

India Muerte

Ahoy!

I have important but unusual news to impart.

India Bones is no longer India Bones. India Bones is India Muerte. This is his name, has always been his name (I, Ministry of Truth, reaching back into the past to change it), will be his name going forward.

As such, the series title has changed, as have all the individual book titles to reflect this.

I completely understand how unorthodox this is, th

I was hoping this would have more Belisarius Cawl in it, but too much of the book was given over to different Space Marine POVs, which were much less interesting to follow (I guess because Space Marine POVs often feel bland and interchangeable). The ...more

Quotes by Set Sytes  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The only things that could be considered wrong with you could also be considered the fault of the world around you. There is little-to-nothing intrinsically wrong with you.”
Set Sytes, How Not to Kill Yourself: A Survival Guide for Imaginative Pessimists

“Laughter really is the best medicine and there are no strict lines to be drawn for its use. You shouldn't assume you understand why someone is joking about something and you should never ever rob somebody of their sense of humor. You might just be taking away their lifeline.”
Set Sytes, How Not to Kill Yourself: A Survival Guide for Imaginative Pessimists

“Now, look you here, Sekundar," says I, but he came up straight like a little bantam and cut me off.
"Sir Alexander. if you please," says he icily, as though I’d never seen him with his breeches down, chasing after some big Afghan bint.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman

“This myth called bravery, which is half-panic, half-lunacy (in my case, all panic), pays for all; in England you can’t be a hero and bad. There’s practically a law against it.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman

“I've been a Danish prince, a Texas slave-dealer, an Arab sheik, a Cheyenne Dog Soldier, and a Yankee navy lieutenant in my time, among other things, and none of 'em was as hard to sustain as my lifetime's impersonation of a British officer and gentleman.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman in the Great Game

“There's a point, you know, where treachery is so complete and unashamed that it becomes statesmanship.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman and the Mountain of Light

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.”
Alan Moore
