Picked up The Shining and The Lost World, but may not start them quite yet. Not sure. I decided to participate in a reading club thingy through my dayjob this month, which chose Good Omens.

_slavo_ · 11.19.2018, 04:22 AM

Brilliant book. If you're into propaganda, hybrid war and the current trend of rising authoritationism and fascism worldwide, you should read it.

Volume one of the KOLYMA Stories - Varlam Shalamov

the brutality of Russian prison camps as told by a survivor of more than 20 years in them, told in short, intense, plain spoken horror. amazing work.

Severian · 11.29.2018, 01:03 PM

Still “The Terror.”

It’s good and engrossing, but I don’t have a lot of time for reading.

Think “The Leftovers” by Tom Perotta will be next.

Noice.

Not my favorite Gaiman outing, but fun.

I feel like I can tell where Gaiman’s writing ends and Terry Pratchett’s begins. Not bits about that. Prefer one voice throughout. But maybe I’m just full of shit.

Over the past few months, after 4+ years of writing book reviews of the books I read, I have started getting requests from individual authors asking for me to review their books. Pretty fucking cool.

What I did not expect, and what happened today, is for an actual book publisher to contact me asking me to review an established authors' new sci fi novel, with the goal of using my review in promotions, and maybe a BLURB ON THE DUST JACKET!

One of my goals with this whole project was to have my reviews be used in a blurb!!!!

ilduclo · 11.29.2018, 04:49 PM

congrats! a blurb is a thing of beauty and awesomeness!

LifeDistortion · 11.30.2018, 04:13 PM

Was browsing Amazon and saw this book. I didn't even know this existed. Don't remember any announcement made about it. Has anyone read it? Its described as a biography, but not an auto biography because Lynch didn't write any of the biography stuff, he wrote more stuff about his creative process, which as anyone who has read any interviews from him, can also be pretty uncertain as he hates talking about his movies/art.

I always do for a bunch of different movie versions, but with all my reading focus put in to 2018, I decided to do this as well. Short enough to be knocked out in a night.

The Hollow Hills by Mary Stuart.

It's about Merlin. I love Arthurian books.
