Despite all my efforts, I have only been able to acquire a few books that are not written for little girls. It is one of many ways in which we are expected to conform to things traditionally assigned to our genders.

I would be very grateful if anyone has any mystery novels they could lend me.

What 's a nov'l?

[grand_theft_moe]

It's a type of long, written story. Do they not have them where you come from?

[sveariket]

Like th' bible?

[grand_theft_moe]

Sort of, except there are people who think The Bible is true. Everyone knows fiction is just a story. I can recommend some titles to start out with if you like?

[sveariket]

No, th'nks. [he has enough reading to do without that. No reason to add to the load.]
