"V.E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (2020) A genre-bending fantasy about a woman who makes a deal with an ancient, dark god. You know how these things tend to go. Well written. “Ideas," quoth Addie, "are so much…"
"I am still reading the three works of nonfiction I was a month ago, or rather, I have just finished the first. I chose these books to read at the same time because they are all "easy to pick up and to put down," but maybe a little too…"
"The Amber Spyglass.
As I've mentioned before, the "theme" for my reading project for this year is (roughly translated) Things I've Been Meaning to Read One Day. Mostly, that's meant classics (Sherlock Holmes, H.…"
""Whether you will or not
You are a king, Tristram, for you are one
Of the time-tested few that leave the world,

"Sculpting A Galaxy by Lorne Petersen. One of the primary model makers for the original Star Wars trilogy looks back at the glory days of model building at ILM. Profusely illustrated with photos of the various vehicles, creatures and environments…"
"The City of the Beast by Michael Moorcock. This is very much a book that reads as an homage to the likes of John Carter and Flash Gordon. It was okay.
Bronx Noir - This is a short story collection that all take place in the Bronx. I don't give…"
""When I call to mind my earliest impressions, I wonder whether the process ordinarily referred to as growing up is not actually a process of growing down, whether experience, so much touted among adults as the thing children lack, is not…"
"The Other Night at Quinn's (2018)- Mike Faloon: Improvisational jazz-influenced prose recounts fragments of a man's life and his visits to a small bar in New York state with a jazz night. Interesting, though not for everyone. Out of…"
"THE FOG MOUND TRILOGY: After I finished Larry McMurtry's "Thalia" series, I spent a week or so deciding what to read next. While I thought about it, I read this trilogy. I almost didn't post here because 1) it's a…"
"Here is an interview with the author if anyone's interested. (38 minutes)"
"I'm reading the first novel the late, great and insanely prolific Ed McBain ever wrote: So Nude, So Dead, which was reissued in paperback from Hard Case Crime."
""I sit in happy meditation on my rock, pondering while my line dries again, upon the ways of trout and men. How like fish we are: ready, nay eager, to seize upon whatever new thing some wind of circumstance shakes down upon the river of time!…"
