I got one of his books, “I know you got Soul”, in which he writes about machinery like the first UK steam train or the Kalashnikov. I just needed to get rid of my last Australian dollars at the airport before the flight home, but it was a good read for the flight.

I don’t remember who gifted it to me, but I got a book on Buddhist wisdom for my (Lutheran) confirmation day.

From what I’ve heard… Cursed Child works perfectly fine as what it was intended to be, a stage play/musical?. Everything about it was written and arranged for a stage and apparently captures the ‘magic’ of the books rather well.

As a book it just sucks, and yes its story is just bottom tier fanfiction. Secret Voldi child, time travel, drama, the lot.
