Antartica!

Only cos I read Foster and it was deadly so would like to hear about the other ones.

25 pc into "Open City" and through a combination of being completely run off my feet and delving into a couple of TV series' , sporadic reading patterns have left me reluctant to go back. Its a fecking mission to recall the story every time. For this reason also, I'm probably not going to finish it n move on to something hopefully more gripping. Anyone read it and want to convince me to stick with it?

I had the same experience with it a few weeks ago, and have also left it aside for the moment. I've read similar styles before and liked them well enough, and will probably re-visit at some stage.

Saw this guy do a reading last night

The Wright Brothers | Book by David McCullough | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster

He was great (got that Pulitzer gravitas working for him) but goddamn if he wasn't treated like a rock star. Standing O before and after, adoring questions ("I'm a history teacher because of you") and then hundreds and hundreds of people in a line afterwards with their arms stacked with books for this wonderful old man to sign.

And in between, just the most effortless, enthralling (and noteless!) storytelling.

Gonna get the book on audio, I reckon.

Re-reading Pet Semetary. Pretty solid booze-era King.

Also, just about to start into this

Came highly recommend from a good friend. About growing up as part of the Iranian diaspora in Californa.

Nice article about colloquial book titles. Makes me want to go and read them all.

The Millions : A Brief History of the Colloquial Title

 

[David Kronenbourg]

The Croning. Lovecraft inspired cosmic horror about an ageing academic type who begins to suspect his wife of many years is a priestess in a giant leech worshipping apocalyptic cult. Good creepy shit.

Nothing could ever live up to how that is in my head
