If I can find my copy tomorrow, I'll post my favorite chapters.

I like this game.

SS 5
SS 13
SS 22

There are more, but it's hard to search through my Kindle.

Euphoria was such a joy to read. Holy fuck what a great great book. Anyhow, now I'm off to Atwood. My favorite. My heart. My home. This is only one of two remaining Atwood novels I haven't read. This one is 'Bodily Harm.'

And. I. Can't. Wait.

So....Robin Hobb


The assassin/farseer books are the best fantasy fiction out there. And better than game of thrones by an immeasurable distance.


Her new book, second in the fitz&the fool trilogy is the best one yet. Couldn't put it down.
Two of the best characters in all fantasy literature.

Now have to wait until next year for the finale.


Fools quest is brilliant.

These books will be a TV series in no time.

It's been on my list for over a decade. I'm got Euphoria and an Atwood to get at first, but I think I'm going to do it after that.

Im surprised nothing has happened yet, or really even any movie about HH holmes. There are some low budget documentaries out there on him but that is about it.

ive always been fascinated with this guy so this is a really incredible read.

According to Wiki:

Film adaptation[edit]
Leonardo DiCaprio purchased the film rights to the book in 2010; the movie is to be produced by Warner Bros., Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg's Double Feature Films, and DiCaprio's own production company Appian Way.[2][3] Writer Graham Moore is adapting the book into a screenplay.[4]

oscar isaac should play every role in the film

There's a documentary about Holmes on Netflix. Or there was. Not sure if it's still up or not. I never watched it but I added it to my list a while back.

It's a weird goddamn book.

Spoiler: show

Johnny Walker eats still-beating cat hearts and some 15 year old gets a handy from an older girl that he kinda hopes is his estranged sister?!

The style is off, I think. But I'm not sure if it's the translation or what because it's the first of his novels that I've tried. I read his memoir (What I Talk About When I Talk About Running) and the voice was totally different, nothing at all like this.

I'm enjoying it though, it fever dream, guy that directed Drive sorta way.
