No, never. But if you enjoy doing that while you read, then that’s great! I love the idea in theory, but I just personally would never do that, unless maybe it was an assignment for school.

The Wager fits the bill!

Totally. But everything else Ted Chiang has written is brilliant.

This is pretty cool.

Like a wool sweater gets pilly?

I think this is a little different because it’s part of the character and done on purpose. It wasn’t like Fitzgerald was obsessed with calling people old sport and had everyone call each other that like he was trying to make fetch happen.

The most recent one I’ve heard of was Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

I think novelizations have the potential to be cool, but the few that I have read felt kind of soulless. They just describe what was on the screen.
