I'm tired of this, people always bitching. I love Baton Rouge
I love driving over the new bridge early in the morning and seeing the foggy forest covering the city
I love walking on LSU's campus
I love the local restaurants, coffee shops, and book stores
Louie's, Simple Joe, Highland Coffee, Coffee Call, Dearman's, Red Stick Reads, RIP Cottonwood, Gail's, Anthony's, Tony's, and many more
I love going to Calandros to get groceries
I love the little things we can do like Christmas lights at Burden
You can love something and still see it's flaws and want to improve it

Ah man 8 is going to be the last one?
Still 10 books. Per MD in February 2026

So what we’re going to do, I think, is — this isn’t set in stone — but I think 9 is the last book, but it’ll be split into two books. So there’s still going to be 10 books total, but I anticipate the last one is going to be pretty wordy. I’m a pretty wordy dude.
I would link the interview but it is Variety and I don't like giving them clicks

Just started book 1. I hope I am in for some fun
You are if you stick with it
Book 1 or 3 depending on personal preference are usually ranked as the worst of the 7 (or 8) in the series. Still great. One of the rare series that genuinely gets better as it goes
If you are doing audiobooks, the narrator has acknowledged that he hates his Carl voice in book 1 and has not listened to it since. He said it was a too over the top caricature of Patrick Warburton. And it is better in book 2 on
I'm about to finish my filler book (Jack Reacher 6 "Without Fail") and I'll start book 6 right after
Or they will either move it to a room that uses a key card
Or like the last one I stayed at
Charge for breakfast (and it was a good one) except for those with a voucher, which they gave us at check-in

Just finished book 5 and damn he likes to drop bombs in the epilogue
It may be my favorite book so far as the crawlers really treat it as a big frick you to the whole system and a lot of questions got answered

Heads up
Jeff Hayes is right now, at 2:28pm on 3/3/2026 doing a cold read of book 8 on the Soundbooth theater live YouTube channel
I will not be watching because I am only on book 5

I started book 5. A whole lot of stuff coming to a head so far and Carl becoming more and more unhinged
Excited to listen to this one after
So far my strategy of reading something else between books is paying off. Keeps the interest high and stops the burnout. I should stay on schedule to be ready for book 8 on May 12 when the hardcopy comes out, but then I'll be sad about a long gap until book 9

I would say Four Hours in My Lai but I don't think that is the vibe you are going for
I'm pretty sure he outright said he was going for Warburton with Carl.
In later books, it crazy to me that he is still doing all the voices. Even female voices don't sound like a man is doing it

I have the audiobook, but have heard mixed reviews of the narrator.
Narrator is Travis Baldree with Jeff Hayes in it too
Fwiw, he has more credits on audible than Hayes (not that it matters though) and he also joins the DCC cast starting in book 6
I know TB from the 3 books he authored
That said, as someone new to audiobooks, I imagine it is hard to compare to JH.
I have started to make it a point to read one typical "assigned in highschool" book a year. I was dumb and would avoid reading them because I was told to read it, but I try to fit in a classic every year
This year is Frankenstein. Never read it. Only reference is the movies.
Not a single movie is like the book and that has me saying wtf
Because I was expecting Igor, a moaning monster, and a mad scientist. But no Igor, it's an articulate monster that is self aware, and an obsessive scientist that was immediately freaked out by what he did and didn't see it for two years
No manic screaming "it's alive!"
But that is on me in the end

By that logic, you don't have to wait for someone to back out of a spot when leaving.

I see that the audio books are highly recommended. I spend a lot of time in my truck, so I might just audio book the rest of these.
I may be crazy, but I do both. I much prefer owning and holding a book, but the audiobooks are so entertaining in a different way.
I read first, then I'll listen to the audiobook while I work or something and end up catching a lot I glossed over or missed on the initial read
Same as watching the TV show after reading in my mind, but I have time to read so there is that

The one with the mouse? I loved that epilogue, my favorite one so far.
The hamster was the Backstage of the Pineapple Cabaret
The epilogue was with the Null bounty hunter on the surface. I was just surprised. I figured the one found would show up eventually, but not by who
As for burnout, I am forcing myself to read something completely different in between no matter how much I want to move right on. I'm about to read Dracula or something. I was switching to Reacher, but I don't have a copy of book 6 at home. Might go check the library
I just finished book 4. Wtf was that epilogue?
And the Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret was beyond unhinged. I wish we got those on audiobook too but I enjoy the other add ones they do for that audio

According to this interview
Initial plan was 10 books, but it is not set in stone

Yeah just saw a statement from him. Quite a contrast from a few other writers.
“After a full month of 10-15 hour days, with six minutes to spare, I have delivered Dungeon Crawler Carl, book 8, A Parade of Horribles to my editor at Ace Penguin Random House.
*MY* final version stands at 192K words. My first draft ended up at 230K. I suspect the published version will be leaner, especially since I told them 175.
If you've messaged/emailed me in the past two weeks, I will eventually get back to you, but probably not tomorrow.
Work on Dungeon Crawler Carl book 9 will begin immediately
Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors
Extreme contrast to so many fantasy authors especially Grrm, Rothfuss, and Lynch (Lynch is different than the other two, iirc, his issues were more mental than laziness)
About to finish book 4 and I have 4-6 on audible ready to go after I finish the hard copies.
Book 5 is on the way
I am hooked and will have to pre-order book 8
I was never an audiobook person. Only listened to one and it was Elijah Wood reading the unedited version of Huck Finn. Just me being weird and losing focus and missing 10 minutes, but I am finding I can keep attention with these and often pick up on something I glossed over in my initial read through
Also I saw starting Book 5 or 6, that Jeff Hayes isn't the only voice. Travis Baldree (author of Legends and Lattes, a low-stakes fantasy series) and audiobook voice actor, joins him and even Patrick Warburton joins in book...6

Hopefully Adam (Beardmeatsfood) gets wind of it soon and will attempt the challenge
Holy jumbled mess, batman. They certainly said something
Can't practice in spring anyway, but I'm sure he's on campus at least
