…Brave New World a bit ago and am now on to Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted.
Obviously, the Minnie and Daisy stickers are a Grey Danger addition.
I like Chuck’s work, but for some reason I had never read this one. It’s weird, I definitely prefer factual, more historical books, but I’ve been on a bit of a fictional kick recently. My next one is fiction as well, which will make three in a row. Very odd. I barely recognize myself anymore!
Anyway, if you get a second, let me know what you’re reading in the comments. Other than the Bible, of course.
Fictual should be a word,
…The Library Book a bit ago and sent it off to my good friend Cesar.
I’m now about halfway through Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, which is a book I was supposed to read in high school but somehow never did.
To be honest, there are a lot of books I was supposed to read in high school but never did because, you know, I was a slacker who had an aversion to homework.
Anyway, I’ll be wrapping up 2019 with this one, and then jumping into something a little different in January.
Now going by Justin the Savage,
…Duplassing it up, and am now on to my second Robert Graysmith book of the year: The Girl In Alfred Hitchcock’s Shower.
A book about books is next,
…Codename Villanelle, then decided to read Washington Irving’s short The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which I somehow managed to not read in high school.
Then again, let’s be honest: I didn’t do much in high school.
Anyway, it’s a turd. It’s super short (seriously, we’re talking about a one-and-done bathroom read), but it’s so boring that it took me just over two weeks to finish… and it’s only 72 pages long… with large type. To be read: I can’t recommend it.
During this time I also dove into Like Brothers by Mark and Jay Duplass, which is proving to be a really fun read.
I’m only 100 pages in, but unlike Irving’s short I can definitely recommend it.
Another Graysmith book is next,
…BBC America’s Killing Eve, so now that I’m done with Blueprint’s book I’ve decided to check out the source material: Luke Jennings’ Codename Villanelle.
Not sure where I’ll go next,
…Thomas Lennon’s book pretty quickly, and am now on to Blueprint’s What A Night: A Book About The Worst Shows of My Career.
Finally up to speed for the year,
…A Tribe Called Quest, and am now on to some middle-grade fiction with Thomas Lennon’s Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles.
I even got a personalized copy for the kids.
Not sure where my brain is headed next,
…David McAninch’s Duck Season, and I’m now on to a book I should’ve read a decade ago, back when I was writing The Roberts: Robert Graysmith’s Zodiac.
Might have to read Susan Kelly’s The Boston Stranglers next,
