Reading November/December 2023

Read 600 and 1100 page books and at 40 pages a day, you fill up on a single book and spread across the months.  There are four books left in that Stormlight series....I think I know what the beginning of 2024 is going to look like.

Babel is a hard read - these aren't really in order so I should highlight I started it on the trip to Tucson and back and I think I average only 30 pages an hour and sometimes less.  I'm looking forward to reading Yellowface by Kuang in 2024.  Stormlight is a great time...maybe I'll write up a separate post with opinions.  Kingfisher is wonderful.  A great retelling of traditional fairy tale tropes.  The Folly short story collection is probably the weakest of anything I've read in that whole series of books and graphic novels and novellas [sorry Ben, but it's true, it's mostly filler].  And the Undiscovered Country Graphic Novel series is really interesting, although a little heavy handed with the trivia and weaving it in. I definitely have friends who would enjoy that Prine's symbol guitar is part of one of the characters in the third collection.

Reading October 2023

Very heavy on graphic novels this month.  I got into a head space after I read Flung Out of Space, recommended by the NPR book concierge.  Once that happened, I went looking for new GNs and was sort of getting hit and miss [although the Joe Hill GNs are fun].  Then I found out that Hoopla has an Eisner winners category for the last several years [and Flung Out of Space is on it].  Between reviewing the Concierge past GN recs and the Hoopla Eisner list, it ramped up the quality significantly.  The Nice House on the Lake which I found that way [2 collections] was a fun read.

At 645 pages, Wastelands: the New Apocalypse was a solid collection of short stories, third in a collection, and dominated my reading time.  I liked the first collection best, so if you're going to read one collection of stories about the apocalypse ever, do that one instead.

Patton Oswalt's biographical Silver Screen Fiend was fun, although I think he'd hedge his praise of Louis CK 8 years later.  Some incredibly funny anecdotes and to read about very famous comedians who used to perform to basically empty rooms, or rooms full of other comedians, is sort of fascinating.

One for All was a difficult read for me.  It's easy to read, but there's definitely a romance novel or YA vibe to it that got in the way of my enjoyment.  I shouldn't be surprised.  I mean...that's its category.  But I kept wanting the main character to ... fret ... a bit less as a young woman who knows how to wield a rapier with musketeer-level skills.  Mentally I compare this to Dread Nation which I FAR preferred.

The Furthest Station is part of the Rivers Series.  Ben Aaronovitch added novellas between the main books, so this one was number 5.5.  To fully engage in the series includes novels, novellas, graphic novels [which are fairly good] and....per my Gamehole Con experience, observing on a sales table not playing, an RPG.  I don't quite get the RPG....can you spend all your time sexing up river deities?  If so, it seems like the RPG that takes place in the middle of an orgy when everyone needs a rest.

Rorschach was good - the Watchmen universe - primarily because it had a current politics political grifter for president vibe.  Eat the Rich and the Low, Low Woods [as well as Flung Out of Space] all have a diverse vibe [well, so does DC Pride for that matter], although I didn't like Low, Low Woods as much.  Little weird even for me.  Basketful of Heads and Refrigerator Full of Heads - a very fun mash up of sort of horror and sort of action/hero with a final girl.  I enjoyed the second one even though it wasn't as solid as Joe Hill's first part and had a different author.

And Creepshow...bleah.  Didn't capture the spirit of the original Tales From the Crypt comics I read when I was a kid or the Stephen King shorts.  Trinity War...only if you're a harder core DC fan [and even then...no].

Reading June 2023

About 46 pages a day not including the graphic novels?  Although props to Gord Hill for some really great reading [Milk Wars was just weird, and DC Pride was more of a fan fic excursion, although I enjoyed it].  Oh...no...I missed a book.  A moment...forgot Lost at Sea, so closer to 62  pages/day.  Nice.  I'm already into my first books for July. I have a surprising amount of non-fiction queued up.

Black Tudors was enjoyable, although it was summed up best by black denizens of Tudor England lived basically the same lives as white denizens of Tudor England: in London, in the countryside, poor, not-so-poor, adventurers, not slaves.  It approached it via ten case studies/lives.
