[epilogue]

I agree.

[oasisfan35]

Also i finished The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. Dudeee what a wild ride!! its like a mix between Less Than Zero and Lunar Park with sprinkles of a horror movie.

Top three from him for sure.

Glad you liked it VG. I wasn't too hip on it overall but it was great to read his writing again. I really hope he puts something out sooner than thirteen years from now.

Skeleton Crew is taking a while do get through after starting out tremendously with The Mist. I threw East of Eden on the Kobo and forgot about it so may give that a whirl soon.

I miss Mickey. Great dude. Very smart.

Did you guys know he used to live in my neighborhood?

Whoa

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.

I vanquished Mickey, so there's no need to ban him

Ms. Todd's Shortcut followed by The Jaunt is a killer 1-2 punch.

Funny, I paused at Mrs. Todd's Shortcut. I certainly won't stop as I do enjoy the shorter form of the collections but we shall see.

This may have been discussed in here already but I don't recall: 'how' does everyone enjoy their novels? Are the vinyl people also staunch hardbound, feel it in my hands folk? Voracious eBookers renting from the local library? All digital? Little bit o' both?

Just curious... my brother mentioned the Internet Archive suit this morning (more as a gotcha as I hadn't heard) and yet he had no idea there were digital methods to rent media from the library.

[VinylGuy]

Never ever bought a ebook.

I did download a few, mostly autobiographies like the Weiland one, and i think even the navarro book but never read them. Its difficult for me. I can read digital comic books, but only the ones i do not care that much to buy them or maybe just to see what the fuzz is about.

Its all physical to me babbyyyyyy!!

[Simple Torture]

I primarily read ebooks now, will only read an actual book if there’s no ebook.

[oasisfan35]

One book at a time or one is never enough?

[BurtReynolds]

I buy a physical book about once a week, but then it most likely collects dust on a shelf.

[The Argonaut]

I'd estimate I spend about $500 a year at the used bookstore, and maybe buy two or three new books a year. But I'm also constantly purging from my collection so it stays more or less at the same size

I recently read Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. That is a seriously fucked up book.

[dad]

how is it?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

how is it?

100 of 650ish pages in, but I’m enjoying it. It’s an easy read and a good bit of dialogue so I don’t think it will feel that length that’s what she said

[LoathedVermin72]

One book at a time or one is never enough?

I'm constantly reading like ten books at once. It's kind of a terrible system but I can't help it.

Do I have news for you

Great listen alongside some housework. My grandma would have loved this book.
