When I was a kid I played a lot of a "The Bard's Tale" computer games. In "The Bard's Tale 2" there was an archmage spell called "Camaraderie." I must've been 7 or 8 years old when I first encountered that word, and for years my only reference for it was the name of that spell in that game. Then I came across it again in a book about soldiers in the trenches, so I got a little bit more understanding of its meaning. Unfortunately for me, I had zero understanding of its pronunciation until I said it out loud in front of other people. "Cam-ERA-dairy." And that was wrong.

I don't know why I'm sharing this, except that sometimes past humiliations just pop into my head and it feels wrong to just leave them there. So now you know that.
 
Cocaine in honor of Steve?

Whatcha reading?
Salems Lot … think I read it in the 90s sometime as a teen…. I remember the general story …. But not as much the in depth of it.

I’m on a journey to read his entire library from start to finish.

I’ve been doing this off-handedly for years … I re-read It in 2019 …. But now I’m using a website and just going diligently through the books in order of publication.

I’m skipping ones I’ve re-read recently… like the Stand … which I also re-read… I think in 2018? ….

Now that I’ve read the Dark Tower series I can feel a little more connectivity in his stories than I did when I read them as a teen.


Plus re-readings books I read as a kid is always fun cuz I always pick up on some nuance or reference to something I didn’t understand when I read it the first time and now with adult brain I get a greater understanding and appreciation for the book.

Never be humiliated about mispronouncing a word you learn by reading! It just means you learned it on your own and that is something to be proud of.

And I pronounced chaos CHay-os for years.
