Been my story the last few days. Sit down to read, read a page, then pick up my phone and start doom scrolling

all the books I ordered last week just arrived! Can't wait to pour myself a drink, relax, be too stressed to read any of them and play around on my phone all night.

I read "Thank You, Jeeves" and agree. Wooster was a complete fool and would never have amounted to much in a meritocracy

You remind me of my neighbor. One winter's day, he was standing by his garage door in shorts and a t-shirt smoking (his wife wouldn't let him smoke in the house).

Me: man, I'm cold just looking at you.

Him: Cold? Ya call this cold? I'm from New York. This is like a Spring day back there.

Sometimes loneliness doesn’t knock.

It seeps into your bones.

I loved Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies

It's PUBLICATION DAY for my debut novel, IN THE DESERT!
I've been writing for decades (many) and this is such a hugely big day for me.
Thank you so much to my publisher @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social for believing in this book and to everyone who has helped along the way!

congrats

overflowing bookshelves

I was never a big fantasy fan growing up. There's less than one shelf devoted to fantasy on my bookshelves, but I regret not reading him sooner.

a nice selection

Read it recently and it didn't age well. There were too many anachronisms for this day and age, let alone for 2082. Using a TYPEWRITER, hunting down a newspaper rack and dropping coins in it to find out the latest news, sitting down with a pen and paper to write a letter to be mailed, etc.

My debut SF novel THE FRANCHISE doesn't come out from @torbooks.bsky.social until May 12, but you can enter a giveaway on Goodreads now and maybe win an early copy: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...

It's been a while since I watched it, but "dame" was probably used as well as "bull" for cop, "take a powder" for running away, "duck soup" for easy, "shamus" for private detective, etc. Dialogue you would expect from Humphry Bogart. It was definitely a fun watch.

I've seen it mentioned so many times that I needed to read it.

Love noir. One of my favorite movies is Rian Johnson's Brick. In it, a high school kid investigates his ex-girlfriend's murder. Johnson peppers the movie with the anachronistic dialogue and slang of old 1940's movies.

TBR Update

Last Read: Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett. First Pratchett I've read, and I loved it. Damn, my TBR is already long, and now more Pratchett added.

Current read: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

On Deck: The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

That simile was so over the top that it made me laugh. From your description, I'm guessing that was the writer's goal.

Favorite artists/songs

Lone Justice - Sweet Sweet Baby (I'm Falling)

Lone Justice burst onto the cowpunk scene in the 80's with their excellent debut album. Lead singer Maria McKee was a force to be reckoned with
