I loved everything about Wolves of the Calla except for that climax. That, for me, was when the series went off the rails.

Reading it while not sober maybe actually improve comprehension.

What if my college education was 13 years ago and I haven't used it since?

When is that actually airing? I feel like I've been hearing about it for years.

Anna Karenina! About 200 pages in so far. I read War & Peace about a year ago and loved it so so much. As in W&P, the insights Tolstoy routinely drops on nearly every page continue to blow my mind. But while W&P wasn't exactly a thrill-a-minute read, it at least had the narrative momentum of the war with France in…

As of late, some Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream when I arrive in the morning to kind of ease me into my day ,I then move into the pleasantly jazzy rock renditions of The Sea and Cake. Afternoons I move into more rock-oriented and louder stuff. Recently: Swervedriver, Deerhunter, El-P's beat mixtapes, The Hives, Poe,…

Wow. What a spectacular quote.

Yeah, @oddfuturewolfgangpauli:disqus… you work in the Sex Toy Crimes Division. You're going to have to get used to that…

You could've just said "no."

I still remember Dowd's review of Elysium. It was one of the first reviews he did after the mass exodus of a lot of writers to Dad's Place (or is this Dad's Place?), and the majority of commenters were SO ANGRY. They basically boiled down to "Who the fuck does this new guy think he is that he can come in bashing the…

Lovecraft! OH YEAH!!!

Oakley Hall is the author. That's been in my ever-expanding to-read queue for a minute now.

Is it though? Original sci-fi (or original anything) is still a huge gamble box office-wise, at least in the States.

The Talisman is maybe my favorite King novel, which probably implies something since he co-wrote it with Straub. Enjoy!

Those are the only two Pynchons that I've actually finished. I'd definitely recommend Lot 49 as starter Pynchon if for no other reason than its by far his shortest. I was able to maintain my grip on the plot until maybe 2/3rds of the way through when things became more and more surreal. Loved it regardless.

I abandoned that one as well. I was like 200+ pages into it too. Very rare for me to put a book down in the middle. I think it was somewhere around the time that a Godzilla-like monster (possibly Godzilla himself?) was introduced. Everything just felt so inconsequential. I couldn't bring myself to care about any…

Just finished Guy Gavriel Kay's "River of Stars" yesterday. This is my second Kay after finishing "Under Heaven" last month. I'm totally on board with what this guy is doing, and I can't wait to slowly make my way through more of his stuff.

The City of Brotherly Love? I daresay you must be mistaken!

TOO SOON

Check out the rad poster he made:
