Reply #573 - May 30^th, 2018 at 1:09pm "Telegraph Avenue," by Michael Chabon. Set in the seedy parts of Oakland, California, his aesthetic choice to embark on extended paragraphs without periods is tiring. It only succeeds due to his brilliant contemporary prose. A great read.

Reply #577 - Jun 8^th, 2018 at 9:02pm A Brief History of Celts and one on China are winging their way to me. Also a book on growing fruit. Well, TWO books on growing fruit are headed my way. One is “The Holistic Orchard” and also covers understory crops like red and black currants.

I literally threw the bible across the room, it was that infuriating.

Game of thrones

I haven't even seen the TV show, but when I do get around to it, I want to be one of those koonts who interjects every 5 minutes to say "in the book it happens like blah blah blah"

I always watch the show before I read the book. I do that with Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon. Recently, I have taken to reading up on John Howard. Having watched his antics on television from 1996 to 2007.

You have probably beaten me to all of them so far. They are such page-turners, I think I have read at least 3 books so far. My goal is to read all of them by end of next year.

I have a couple books on john howard. I thought I followed the politics at the time but the books are eye opening anyway. A lot of stuff didnt get in the media.
