Top Book: Killers of the Flower Moon (randomly found an ARC from 2017 so that was neat)

Worst Book: The Maid

Killers of the Flower Moon is a book I've had on my to-read list for a while, so it's nice to hear that it's a good read. Going to try and make sure I get to it this year. What was it that you disliked about The Maid? That's another book I've considered reading but never got to.

Didn't read as much as I wanted to in 2023 as grad school kind of derailed a lot of my plans of reading for fun. I don't think I enjoyed any book this year as much as I did the books I read in 2022, but Player Piano and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were probably my two favorites. Hoping to pick things back up in 2024.

Also I just created a StoryGraph account, not sure how much I'll use it but my username is s0las there if anyone wants to add me over there.

I'd also be willing to offer a VHL-related graphic for the auction. 

Great trip down memory lane with the names in this article. I remember making a list of hall of famers by nationality a while ago (I think you ended up making a better one) but seeing the teams grouped up like this is really interesting and it's still surprising to see the relatively lower number of HoFers from Finland and Russia.

Good to know I still have two players that could make it on a team

Stockholm and Vasteras surviving despite not having good roster is top tier shithousery

Karmic justice.

Thanks for making my time in Chicago so great! By far the best locker room I've ever been a part of

I'm going to print out this graph and hang it on my wall.

YES THANK YOU

 

AND his username LIGHTNING SOMETHING - IT"S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW. 

 

but then who was IR's first player... argh!

lightning25, yeah lol

Pretty sure Gagnon was IR's first player, according to this thread Radislav Mjers and Mikey Blade came immediately afterwards

Holy shit I honestly never thought I'd be inducted as a builder, what the hell. Crazy honor. I guess they'll induct anyone who sticks around here long enough 

Thanks to everyone who voted for me and also congrats to @Acydburn and @Josh!

Funny how everything looks so much more expensive and well designed 173 years before GOT though. Backward upgrades.

I think the idea is that this is supposed to be Westeros at its most rich and powerful so everything is supposed to be more expensive and colorful.

@Shindigs

Thanks for the mention 

Also iirc Pensfan came back in the 30s or so when you were inactive. Luckily he left again before he had to see Vasteras moved.

Holy fucking shit dude, what an article.

Honored to be a named on this list as a player AND a part of the worst draft class of all time!

15 years doesn't seem right. Hard to believe I've been here for most of them. HBD VHL
