Need some help finding a book. I believe its a fantasy book. Two different groups live near each other. One is a warrior/hunter type group, the other is a strange group that has a thing about sleeping, dreams (they think dreams are important) and everyone shares parenting. The main character's father is a or the leader of the warrior group, and he has a possibly crazy sister who turns out to be a dragon. I don't know why but the main character (warrior group) and his friend from the other group set out to travel, either because they did something or they're carrying a message, I can't remember. There are invaders, and the main characters father is captured, and at some point sleeps with a human/invader hybrid female. Near or at the end the main character has found a cursed dagger of some sort.
I maybe read this several years ago, and I think it was newish at the time. A biggish book, but it was the hardback I remember reading.

Yeah, that sounds like shit
Why not read a real book?
People told me the same thing about the first Malazon book. All, oh well just suffer through the first one to get to the rest. I..I like the first one.
So apparently theres this annual list of weird book titles. One of the recent ones was "Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan". Is it wrong that that sounds both intesting and perfectly sensible to me?

I don't want to read it, I just want to remember what it's bloody called, it's been bugging me, and I don't want to spend money for 2 trains to get to the library where I first took it out. I do remember skipping like the whole middle half of it though.
How do you know when to stop skipping? Do you start a chapter, find out it's crap, then skip to the next? Do you skip like 50 pages ahead to see if it picks up?
Why not skip the whole rest of the book if it's not good?

I wish I had more comforting words, but all I can summon up is, "I'm sorry."
What about... "You're a dickhead"?
I'm not gonna assume that he, in fact, has a penis for his skull. Twilight is just a romance novel for teenagers when it gets broken down; I'm sorry that now he has to know, firsthand, what all of the little kids at Hot Topic are talking about now.
I have this unprecedented need to experience horrible things that are trendy first hand, so I can truly understand how completely awful and terrible they are.

I can't explain it.
No, I understand. It's like when some people have to watch horror films back to back.

With a probable surgery coming up it'll be some good reading while I can't golf.
ITEM(S) SHIPPED:
1. Ben Hogans Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals Of Golf
This is absolutely horrible
There's this book about 'success' that I've been interested in examining, called Outliers by Malcom Gladwell.
I could also take a crack at reading The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China, which I got for Christmas.
Or I could reread The Lord of the Rings, which I've been meaning to do.
