Great book. Seeing the leg amputation sequence from the miniseries as a kid left me completely terrified that I would catch gangrene in the event of an Indian attack

I bought that a few weeks ago. May be awhile before I attempt to dive into it.

I'm fascinated by Gus's ability to keep a sourdough starter for ten years in the South Texas heat and dust. In that climate, he'd have to be pretty disciplined. I bet that fermentation speed is a beast.

Finished the trilogy of Bond books done by Anthony Horowitz and liked them all, favorite was the third one. Kinda wish the new Bond would be a time period piece.
Now gonna check out Dungeon Crawler Carl and see what the hype is about.

I think I'm gonna have to check it out, too. It sounds absolutely awful.

Absolutely. One of those books that I will definitely read again at some point. Last one I felt the same was The Buried Giant by Ishiguro.

This book was so hard to understand that I thought I was being attacked by an antimemetic while I was reading it.BurtReynolds wrote: Mon August 31, 2026 12:37 amRereading this since it's officially published now.

I read the first Dungeon Crawler Carl. I heard the first half is pretty bad, but once you get passed all the gamey exposition crap, it gets better. And I have to say I mostly agree? Not my cup of tea, but I get the appeal. It will probably be a huge movie/TV series soon. There are some pretty inventive moments, and I like the tonal mishmash.BurtReynolds wrote: Thu August 27, 2026 12:34 pm I think I'm gonna have to check it out, too. It sounds absolutely awful.
