[epilogue]

Currently reading Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood.



My god, she's amazing. This woman just continues to blow my mind. Great book so far. About 100 pages in.

[epilogue]

If, somehow, on this planet there are those who think maybe Atwood is too old... too dry... close to the end and finished; over her head and ready to rest -- perhaps they read The Heart Goes Last and saw some sort of foreboding writing on the wall... to those delusional, misguided folks I can only smirk and say... fucking read Hag-Seed.

I didn't know there was one.

It's a Sth Afican author. Not bad so far but only 1/4 thru.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Nice. I've never read it, but I do have the Charles Portis Miscellany (collection of newspaper articles, essays, and short stories), and it's excellent. Sort of a pre-cursor to Tom Wolfe.

i've never seen the john wayne film, but thoroughly enjoyed the coens' version...it was available for a free download on the local library's digital media center so i figured i'd give it a read

I think I want to get into reading some Ursula Le Guin

You answered the question I was about to ask. If you liked No Country For Old Men because of how closely it followed the book, you'll love True Grit.

I read Wizard of Earthsea and enjoyed it. It was weird in that there was almost zero conflict, but also interesting for that reason. I plan on reading most of her books over 2017, we'll see how far I get. Especially since I have also committed myself to starting The Wheel of Time.

yeah i've heard it follows it really closely...i'm not really the type that feels a film should necessarily follow the book

Can anyone recommend any good fantasy books? Not dwarves and elves, though.

Ursula le Guin, who i mentioned on this page, writes primarily fantasy

Left Hand of Darkness can't be topped.
