Just finished Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72 which was interesting if for just how much things have changed and not changed. Plus how much the good doctor hated Hubert Humphrey, not to mention Nixon.

Matterhorn will make you want to crawl in a hole and die. But it is wonderful.

Umbridge is the best villain. Voldemort was boring, but Umbridge I wanted to strangle. What a great character.

Swamplandia was good I guess? She is a very talented writer I just didn't really like the story or how it was resolved.

I also read and enjoyed it, fun quick read.

@Miller is right, you can kind of see maybe where he was heading with connections but it obviously didn't get there. There are some awesome little threads though, so maybe take it as more of a short story collection.

it is kinda funny. I mean…garbage.

I've read all of those except Player Piano and while Mother Night is probably my favorite, Sirens of Titan makes me cry every time.

You prematurely shot your wad on what was supposed to be a dry
run if you will, so I'm afraid you have something of a mess on your hands.

Only if Sarah Chalke is actually in it.

Well, New York in the mid to late 70s was basically a supermax prison, so I don't see why it was so stupid.

cool story?

NO IT WILL POOP A SMOKE MONSTER WATCH OUT GATSBY

by dying he subjected us to Democratic Nominee for President Hubert Humphrey.

Yes. Also Ronald Reagan is president.

I'll take one art please.

that sounds horrifying.

I still contend that you have the most bizarre reason for giving up the books. Also, the TV show is awesome but so are the books.

Almost as well as the Siege of Leningrad!

Also I was hoping Selyse would be as ugly as they say in the book. Give the woman a mustache damn it.
