great pick.
I miss Lanegan.
So this never happened because both kids were sick, but on the plus side I got to stay home from the NYE party and got to bed by like 10:30.

I've been slacking on my reading. I've not found a book to keep my interest.

There was discussion recently about "How do I find books to read?" Here's a list with descriptions of 218 books coming out this year (mix of fiction and memoir for the most part, but some other stuff mixed in):

How many of those books were written by A.I.? I can only trust books written before Constantine's adoption of Christianity now

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.

Did you know there is a Penguin edition of The Bible? What's up with that?

Cyberpunk time:
I thought this was pretty dumb. There was some interesting stuff about language, but it isn't delved into very deeply. The rest is pretty bland and corny.

This was a pretty solid book. Probably too complicated for it's own good and I couldn't keep up with all the characters, but I thought it was a fun detective story. Will probably read another one in the series.

Reread. This book is blowing my brains out lately. One can't overstate just how different we are from people living about 3000 years ago. not even different species. More like people living in entirely different universes.

I'm doubtful of it, Burt. I haven't read the book itself
