Judging from Kevin Williamson's last few appearances on the TCA press tour, I'd say he's living in his own private gulag of the mind these days. Granted, it seems like he's hellbent on dragging all of us in there with him, so we should probably follow your suggestion, just to be sure.

Which means — fingers crossed — only one more week until we get to see more of Pasion Intergalactica!

Perfect.

Pretty far from "dreadful", yeah. I'd say "shambolic, but agreeable".

The joy at having Damon Herriman back on my screen regularly was a bit curtailed by the seemingly very gimmicky nature of the character (maybe whoever pitched that teeth thing in the writer's room had something horrible happen to them that day, and no one had the heart to shoot them down). With you one hundred on…

Is this a bit? It seems to me that a protagonist that's not driven by the death of some loved one would be the breath of fresh air, not the other way around.

The morons that count are apparently pleased enough to keep it around.

It's a weird thing, that; how utterly Hannibal aesthetisises its killings and violence, yet still manages to imbue them with the weight and horror appropriate for such effed-upped things.

Get into the helicopter!

You're my hero. (No, seriously.)

I say, there's no call for that kind of foul language, sir!

Heh, serves me right for using such an archaic/British turn of phrase. I meant "how did you find it" as in "what did you think of it". Sorry.

I love Hitman with all my heart; it's probably my favourite of Ennis' long-form comics work (mind, I haven't read more than a fraction of his Punisher). I think the restrictions of a main-line DC book tempered a lot of his more excessive tendencies, which worked wonders, especially when it came to the comedy side of…

I just read my first Woolf for school — To the lighthouse — and liked it quite a bit; especially the first part. I'm not widely read enough, modernism-wise, to be able to place it in context, but I found it to be a worthwhile experience. I did feel like I would've gotten more out of it with a few more similar…

Spooky action-heavy urban fantasy recommendations:

That's the first Hobb trilogy? How did you find it?

Speaking of awesome North Korea-themed books, have you read Adam Johnson's The Orphan Master's Son? It's really exciting plot-wise, but also manages to capture (what I imagine to be) the crushingly surreal nature of living in a country like that, while still treating the N. Koreans as recognisable human beings.

Upvoted for correctly naming Invisible Monsters as Palahniuk's best.

How did you fall on The Wise Man's Fear? I liked it well enough when I read it, but I've cooled on it quite a bit since (especially after reading this very harsh but fair take-down piece).

I just bought the Swordspoint audiobook/radio play thingy from Audible. I'm not really an audio kind of guy, but I thought it might be an interesting alternative to rereading the book before buying the sequels. So far I like Kushner's reading more than I do the radio play stuff, but that might be a case of me having…
