Finished Hyperion by Dan SImmons - it was deadly. Now reading his novel Summer of Night which is quite good and has a similar story to Stephen King's IT.

Update: Finally started this today, on chapter 3 and I have laughed A LOT. Her descriptions of certain people are so spot on (being of the same age) and living in a near by city. However it annoys me that she said she was born in 1973 but turned 25 in 2000, that doesn't add up. How did no one catch this?The last book that totally engrossed me was My Year of Rest and Relaxation, it's also unbelievably mean-spirited which might make it funny or not, depending on the person. Fairly sure @jonah thinks i'm a bad person for liking it so much though.

Weird, I will need to go back. I'm listening.A sci-fi version of The Canterbury Tales??
Jesus, you fucking nerds. Even i'm not that bad
Right, this bugged me so I went and checked and it's not in my edition, "On August 20, 2000, I turned twenty-seven"
A sci-fi version of The Canterbury Tales??
Jesus, you fucking nerds. Even i'm not that bad
That and i'm being completely disingenuous since I am absolutely that bad.Only the first book in the series can be read that way, and I doubt it's good comparison at all
It’s deadly!Well Arrival is shit anyway
Oh! I'm reading that at the moment too! I think it's amazing. And was that other one the basis for Limitless?Sci-fi short stories by the guy who wrote the story Arrival is based on. Brilliant stuff
How is it? I found The Loney to be very disappointing.Just started Starve Acre. Latest slice of folk horror from Andrew Michael Hurley who wrote The Loney
It’s slight compared to The Loney - which I loved - but I’m enjoying it. The plot is similar to Don’t Look Now.How is it? I found The Loney to be very disappointing.
And so on.There's a virgin who lived in Mauritius
Whose turds were extremely nutritious.
The public admitted
Whenever she shitted
The smell and the taste were delicious.
I was a bit skeptical starting out on this one but it was very good.An ambitious noble and his three serving men travel through the Irish countryside in the stifling summer of 1348, using the advantage of the plague which has collapsed society to buy up large swathes of property and land.
I really enjoyed this. Kinda melancholy and serious and dreamy. I should read more of this guy.Although originally published separately, Patrick Modiano’s three novellas form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers—each appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists.
