Currently reading “No Beast So Fierce” by Edward Bunker and I can’t put it down. One of the best crime novels I’ve ever read. Bunker played Mr Blue in Reservoir Dogs and was a career criminal and author. Just read another of his, “Animal Factory” about San Quentin convicts in the 70s. Another excellent crime novel that was adapted into a film with Willem Dafoe and Edward Furlong.

Robert Silverberg - The World Inside
All this sex is starting to get on my nerves. Where's the story? I'll finish the book but I'm not really enjoying it.
Greg Bear - "Eon" is great though.

Gonna start To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip Jose Farmer today. Just had two Vonneguts delivered to work too: Deadeye Dick, and Wampeters Foma & Granfalloons. Old copies with great cover art.

Finished "Hard Times" by charles dickens last night..... meh. Waiting on JJ's review Dark Matter by Blake Crouch for something a little quick to catch up to my goals. The little bit of quantum physics nearly scared me away but i'm sticking with it

Read it earlier in the month since its the 50th anniversary this year. As a debut its great but you can tell there's some growing pains Oops I was thinking about Carrie. My bad but I read Misery around February and it ruled. Definitely the best one of his I read this year so far and great to see him do something with a few characters instead of a whole town

All the Lonesome Dove talk in here makes me think I should check it out. Definitely scratched an itch I used to get from reading epic fantasy but have since lost. Not that it is fantasy in any way, but that it was a page turner pulling me through the book.

Some essays by John Berger (“The Sense of Sight”) Hell yeah, this is backed. Ways of Seeing was very influential to me as a youth. I’d highly recommend A Seventh Man if you haven’t read it already and are interested in the lives of migrant workers in Europe.

My copy of To Your Scattered Bodies Go is riddled with really poor typos. Really takes away from the experience.

Very sane singer of a little known band called the Cro-Mags. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 didn know he was reading it. Although hard times shares its title with a cro mags song, Charles Dickens novel Barnaby Rudge has more in common with JJ, due to it being about a hard-rocking man.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it otherwise, and it's a short enough read to not get it read.
