Reply to Do you find yourself reading more non-fiction books and less fiction as you get older? by disruptivelychill
This is exactly the case for my gf. I, on the other hand, have been binging YA fantasy lately. I never really got into fantasy as a teen, and it’s a glorious escape. I’m almost finished with my second fantasy series lmao. Meanwhile, my gf has finished John Green’s Anthropocene Reviewed and loved it.

Reply to What are some techniques used in books that you just love for some weird reason by shorttompkins
Using chapter length to establish pacing. I like it when faster, more intense moments are in short chapters. I read faster this way as well. I also like when the author throws in longer, more descriptive chapters to help me establish the world in my head.
Currently reading the ToG series, & there were a series of one page chapters scattered throughout the book in the POV of a character who was possessed by a demon. Just a half page of rambling thoughts. I like how it captures the helplessness & swiftness of his suffering, only to be stopped short by the continuation of the plot.

I’m just shocked that people discuss books on 4 Chan. I’ve been to the site twice and was promptly traumatized both times lol
