I really should read this again.

There’s a lot to be said for a reliable, inexpensive ink that goes well with multiple pens! I must get myself a bottle.

I need to start experimenting with inks. Currently Montblanc Permanent Black goes into all of my pens, although I’m waiting on a Pelikan M800 which will come with a bottle of Pelikan 4001 Black, which I’m very much looking forward to writing with.

I’m definitely interested in The Staircase in the Woods and When the Wolf Comes Home - I’ll have to check the others out!

This is absolutely awesome!

I've been thinking about reading The Reformatory. Hope it lives up to the positive feedback I've been seeing.

Great reply!

I’m fairly certain I DNF The Ruins, but I can’t remember why. Which is annoying, because at some point I’m going to have to try it again so I remember why I didn’t want to read it…

Thank you @jadero, that was a very useful answer!

This looks like a great way to fill a pen, thank you for suggesting it!

I personally do my long-form writing with a Uni Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade. I don’t think I could get the same writing experience from a wood pencil.

I have a very messy combination of printed and running writing that no one can read, including me.
