AS I LAY DYING by Faulkner
Not what I expected from my first Faulkner but I did enjoy it. I found the shifting perspectives to be interesting enough, but not sure I connected with it as much as I would have liked. Still think Iβll check out The Sound and the Fury at some point in the future.
DAWNSHARD by Brandon Sanderson
Tried the Graphic Audio for this and it was entertaining enough. I think Iβm cooling on this series for a bit, so Iβm going to step away from it for now.
BEOWULF
Did this one almost exclusively via audiobook. Seamus Heaney turns in a wonderful narration of his very own translation here. Thought a lot about how this text serves as an inspiration in Tolkienβs LotR. The people of Beowulf are transported to Middle-Earth and set squarely in Rohan.
I fucking loved Mickey-17

OF MICE AND MEN
I really do love this style of prose that is completely stripped down, but not yet devoid of beauty. It feels picturesque in a way that is completely accessible and contains a great clarity.

Didnβt love this! First time in the series I felt like the character arcs either took trajectories that werenβt rooted in what had come before or did but landed with a very dissatisfying thud. Couldnβt even really be saved by the patented Sanderlanche.
Starting a new campaign using TEA and these will be getting A LOT of use!

After several months, finally was able to join the boys on discord RPG night for a session of Fabula Ultima. Really enjoy playing this system.

RING SHOUT
An entertaining piece of pulp fiction that lacked enough punch for me to love it, but I did like it. Breezy read for those looking for a flash of eldritch horror.
MORNING STAR
I love this series, which has become one of my all time favorites.
SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING, Vol. 1
I forgot to update this thread when I finished this last week. I did not write a full review on this, but I did enjoy it and plan to read more of this run later.
Completely forgot about this and was very pleasantly surprised by the mail today.

16.01.2025 20:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. βLynchianβ is so overused because itβs a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I canβt imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
