Re: Book Recommendations

I wrote this several years ago on Goodreads, but as the book has been recently republished in a 20th anniversary edition, I think it's fair to re-post...

Re: Book Soundtracks

My book consumption in COVID-times has—counter-intuitively—plummeted. I'm pretty sure it's because I've habituated myself over the last decade to doing my reading during my commute. Happily (?) with...

Re: Recent Reading

So. This is an eminently simple-sounding question, that is actually kind of tricky to answer.

Paul Verhoeven clearly objected to the fascistic content of SST, and probably especially objected to...

Re: Recent Reading

Re: TLO and malware -- again

I've been getting the same Norton "Web Attack: Fake Browser Update 8" message for the better part of a year. I use Opera primarily, but it also shows up when I use Chrome.

Re: Gene Wolfe RIP

I tried reading The Book of the New Sun series several years ago, and just clearly wasn't in the right headspace for it. Rebooted that effort last week, and am finding it quite compelling. The author...

Yeah I didn’t enjoy it that much really to be honest. I’ve been slowly going through his novels chronologically for years whenever I feel like reading him but I preferred Eye in the Sky

Re: Wanted: Some Ex Occidente titles

Xexanoth, are you looking for the specific books as artifacts or are you primarily looking for the stories? If the latter, several of the titles are available in subsequent reprints and/or ebooks. If...

Re: First Horror Novel That You Ever Read?

NO PINCHING!!

This was also one of the earliest horror "novels" that I read (and certainly my favorite). If the first wasn't Horrorland, it was, at any rate, a Goosebumps book (more likely,...

Re: America's obsession with happiness

It doesn't quite take care of it, not by a long shot.

You still haven't demonstrated that self-sufficiency is, ipso facto, virtuous. Affirmative statements have the burden of proof is rational...

Re: Recent Reading

One downside of high-end small presses is that one struggles to find the appropriate forum to read their books without risking damage to physical works of art (see above: Spy in the Panopticon). Most...

Re: Best Reggie Oliver stories?

For a slightly askew Oliver you may want to try "Love and Death". It was easily one of the strongest entries in the very solid Scarlet Soul anthology. Wonderfully aphoristic.

Re: Finnish recluse’s sculpture garden/forest
