I greatly enjoy Bookwyrm. No idea why it's so satisfying for me to track my reading, but I guess it's just giving me a sense of accomplishment. Also, it's similar to looking at a shelf of books: Seeing nice things gives me joy.

How To Tell If You Are In A High Fantasy Novel The Elders would like a word with you. The Ritualis about to begin. Something that has not happened in a thousand years s happening. You are going to the City. There is only one City. It is only said with a capital C. No one needs to bother saying the name of the City. It s the City. Certain members of the Conneil are displeased with your family's recent actions. A bard is providing occasional comic relief; no one hired or invited him and his method of earning a living is unclear. The High Priestis not to be trusted. Someone is eating an apple mockingly. There is one body of water. It is called the Sea. The Great Sea, if you are feeling fancy. You live in a region with no major exports, no centralized government, no banking system, a mysteriously ‘maintained network of roads, and litlte to no job training for anyone who is not farmer. You're going to have to hurry, or you're going to miss the Fair — and you never miss the Fair. There is trouble at the Citadel. Your full name has at least one apostrophe iniit. There are two religions in your entire universe. One is a thinly veiled version of Islam. It is only practiced by villains. The other is “being a Viking". You are a Viking. There are new ways in the land that threaten the Old Way. Your grandmother secretly practices the Old Way, as do all of the people of the hills.
