Fake London -NJB

But the Governors wife is named after the park in London so...

I think the consensus is that Meyer meant "_____ bundle of pain" but somehow it autocorrected to "cheeseburger of pain" and no one corrected it.

It is not a regular phrase.

The whole point of this article is to say that the anticonvulsant drug lamotrigine (Lamictal) may be a "miracle cure" for autism. There are several problems with this. For one, epilepsy is the most common comorbidity with autism occurring in around 33% of the autistic population. Many of those afflicted with both are already on Lamictal and see no change in their autistic symptoms. Second, as stated in the article, several studies have been done with Lamictal in the past for children with autism and other neurological conditions and showed no effects other than the original (anticonvulsant).

>The drug was ineffective in a small 2001 trial of 28 autistic children, but it may help people with certain genetic conditions.

IMO the manufacturer is just trying to find more people to sell their drug to.

Thanks for that info. I don't know anything about how the publishing industry works. The book says Simon & Schuster on it so I guessed that would mean it should've been seen by an editor.

The last couple books I read covered some dark/heavy topics so I wanted something more lighthearted, but this book has just made me angry. lol. It has great reviews on GR too, which I don't understand. Booktok, maybe?

What do editors do? How much do they change about a book?

The book I'm currently reading has a significant amount of typos, much of the dialogue doesn't make sense, and there are many contradictions in the story that are a page or two apart. Shouldn't a good editor have caught those issues? Do authors just publish books without running them by an editor now?

Obligatory Luna Lovegood.

I loved the Redwall series when I was young but I barely remember anything about it. I may have to take a dive back into it.

Edit: oops, I forgot to answer the actual question. Probably the Count of Monte Christo. There’s so much there to entertain over and over.

The Robin Buss translation is so good. I ended up reading The Stranger just because Robin translated it as well.

I haven't read it, but I've heard that the dialect is part of the point of the book. They're made up words and you're meant to learn their meanings as the story goes on.

Edit: it's called Nadsat.
