Book jam - what you all reading?

[jbj]

Love the Kinks but don't know a whole lot about their story (except for Dave and Ray hating each other) It's pretty good and quite an easy read.

This. Written by a fairly recently acquired friend of mine. Interesting stuff.

There's 8.62 off on $50+ at Amazon today.

Got this from Tucson Goodwill. Very dry.

I started some cheese-ass fantasy thing to take a break after the secret history.

This is the kind of stuff I have read a lot lately. I'll add that one to the list.

Just finished this, which was wonderful.

Also I am putting my Duolingo Italian to actual use with Dylan Dog comics I have hoarded for over a decade. (Where possible I prefer to learn languages by reading pulp fiction.)

I'm reading King's Dark Tower series for like the forth (or is it the fifth?) time. o_O

I enjoyed the first four.

Overall, I don't think they're among of King's best stuff. I don't understand the fans clamouring for a TV/movie adaptation. And I think that it's kind of waste of Idris Elba's talents.

I'm skeptical about the movie adaptation as well. It could be good if they limit the scope to one of the books (and if a lot of other things go right), but I'm not counting on it.

If the first one is successful, they'll limit each new movie to one chapter from each book in order to make as many sequels as possible.

If that's the case, it will last longer than I will.

My understanding is it doesn't strictly follow the book, it's an alternate timeline or something.

After 38 pages of this 98 page graphic novella it is brought to my attention that the word "strega" (plural "streghe") means witch. I had been wondering why the bad guy kept shouting it at the nice lady (not pictured) he keeps trying to kill.

Y'know, I've had Whales On Stilts on my reading list for about 12 years now, and I still haven't bothered to order a copy.

You wouldn't have to if smurfco had sent it on *spits*.

Fucking @smurfco, man. Fucking @smurfco.

Sick and sleepy child meant I could wrap this up in a day. Lots of plot; intricately woven, mostly stupid.

Mostly stupid. A high recommendation then? Lol
