Till TG Gets Here, I'm Reading...

[SwansSoilMe/SwansSaveMe]

Hey y'all.
Lessee... I'm clearing out some stuff I wanted to reread forever, like Thomas Tessier's Phantom and James Herbert's Sepulchre. These two are a couple pf the ones horrorwise I find worth it. Herbert kicks Clive Barker's ass...this is his best book.

Just makin' way for the master. A girl reading Lovecraft on the Metro this morning, she had earplus (music) so I jotted a note on her newspaper: "Thomas Ligotti, the modern-day Lovecraft."

Think I'll score? She did smile in thanks...

For the time being, I'm reading a solid mystery: The Cabinet of Curiosities. There are definitely disturbing moments (the anonymous madman daintily polishing and sharpening an ancient surgical kit is unnerving), but the purpose is more in the plot. Fun. Probably not in the tastes of many readers here, but very clever nonetheless.

Right now I'm reading The Gardens of Lucullus by richard Tierney and Glenn Rahman. It's a page-turner indeedy!

After that I have Slime After Slime by Mark McLaughlin and In Matto's Realm by Friedrich Glauser.

After that, I don't know. I might pull out some of my old math books from grad school and pretend I'm taking notes in one of Instructor Carniero's lectures.

After that I'll go to the bookstores and put all of the Ann Coulter books in the comedy section.

LOL. Coulter is a contemptible banshee. I hope the USA is just going through a phase that we can all look back on in shame in the future (similar to the McCarthy years). I'm not so sure, though, churches are springing up like mushrooms in Ohio.

S.T. Joshi is coming out with a new book: The Angry Right: Why Conservatives Keep Getting It Wrong. This book is due out on September 6th of this year. It would be great if Joshi put his formidable intellect in play as a columnist. We need another H.L. Mencken now more than ever before. But that begs the question: what paper would print it? My guess would be none.

Silent One, it reminds me of the novel Perfume, by I forget who, but the killer ws completely up on all the scents of everything inluding victims.

This Goldman book about John & Yoko pretty scary at times.

Patrick Suskind! I love that book!

There is going to be a movie:

Swans, Perfume was written by Peter Süskind. It is one of the best novels I have ever read! (And this is not the first time I've commented on this novel here at TLO.)

The scent of the victim, eh? Have to check it out.

I'm also going through various horror collections I've acquired o'er the ages. I'll be bringing some to Poughkeepsie.

I forgot about this novel. I loved it at the time I read it. The movie looks promising too - no dark hand of the usual Hollywood Illuminati soiling a great tale. This makes me want to rent Quills.

Cheers!

Teattro is not getting here ...
But anyway I am reading "The Girl With The Golden Eyes" by Balzac...a dreamy novella.This is my first Balzac and surely won´t be the last.
And in my shelf "Bartleby & Co" awaits.
