#The October Man

[agardenandlibrary]

The October Man was fun! Nice to meet practitioners elsewhere. There's a point where Tobias is standing at the edge of a possible growing magic rot and he's like "I forgot to put markers at the edge to see if it's growing. I bet Peter Grant would've put markers. He probably would've measured the whole thing with lasers."

The narrator did a great job, very fun all around.

“There was a statue on the lawn outside the institute of a woman, hand on breast, looking mournfully upwards as if contemplating the death of a loved one and the amount of paperwork it was bound to cause.” ― Ben Aaronovitch, The October Man

I have finished "The October Man" by Ben Aaronovich. Apparently it's part of a series which I'm not currently interested in but may eventually pick up.

It was a decent book, nothing too incredible but just a pleasant read. I enjoyed the mystery unfolding and I enjoyed the memorable characterisation of side characters.

There was also no blatant misogyny, homophobia or racism, which; since the last mystery novel I read was "The Silent Patient," some two or three years ago, was refreshing.

I'd recommend it to people who like urban fantasy or want to read a book set in Germany.

I was the last can of beans at a Safeway. King Pin (from Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse) entered and stomped around looking for beans. I slowly got up and ran away from him but he saw me and started to chase me. He yelled, “MY BEANS. MY F***ING BEANNNNS.” the entire time he was after me. I ran for my little bean life.

i am so obsessed with how like. taken as read the ot3 are at this point. like on the one hand it feels like they've been building up to this for ages but on the other hand it kind of feels like i blinked and we skipped right past some Major Turning Point where everything got spelled out and we're just already in firmly Established Relationship-land. obviously tarvek is too well-protected for anyone to assassinate openly, look how angry his boyfriend and girlfriend are at the idea of anyone threatening him. at this point i'm half-convinced agatha's just going to refer to her boyfriends in passing to someone else and no one's even going to comment on it until van finds out twenty pages later and immediately starts making everyone pay up

#girl genius #i just. the matching frowns. tarvek's deliberately-foppish not-quite-innocent shit-eating grin and folded hands #i'm obsessed with this panel i'm obsessed with this page i'm obsessed with this entire week's comics #and everything that everyone has chosen to say about these three since. man i don't even remember. october? #when was the comment about albia worrying colette will join the polycule i forget #i mean and also everyone has said about these three ever. violetta telling gilvek to stop flirting lives in my head rent free #but the entire last month has just been. i am Reeling what has HAPPENED #i was ready to live off the group hug for the next YEAR and every comic then has felt like a brand new brick???? #except for krosp and norville's grand adventure which. well that also felt like a set of bricks but very different ones #also i'm only half-convinced bc a) agatha *is* awfully good at big dramatic speeches #and it's still hard to imagine the Big Relationship(s) Upgrade(s) happening without one #b) it also feels extremely plausible that instead of agatha talking about her boyfriends to a third party #gil or tarvek will refer to *their* boyfriend to agatha (who will not comment on that until van finds out twenty pages later etc) #anthyding can hadplen etc and it feels so much like suddenly it already has. what timeline are we IN #sarah don't look #nyquil don't look
