What are you fuckers reading now?

The Little Friend

 

[Rainblow]

Tearing my way through Karin Slaughter’s books. They all need trigger warnings, but if you like to read extremely dark psychological thrillers, her books may be for you.

Not a huge fan. Tbh, Mo Hayder in her hey day ruined other psychological thrillers for me; except for Japanese thrillers. The others I find a tad pedestrian. Started Book of Sand AGAIN. Meh. Getting a little better I suppose. I'm only slogging through it because, you know, Mo Hayder. Love Japanese thrillers they're really dark and multidimensional. I think I'll start with Natsuo Kirino's In, Out was superb. Maybe some Murakami he's a crap shoot but once in a while you come across a gem.

I thought I kick off with Oranges are not... There's a lot of God in this. Old testament is enough to make anyone question their sexuality because it's full of filth. This will outage Fata and Sean but there's a name written on the inside cover and highlighted in pink. I Googled the name but I can't say more than that, but I think it is the previous owner because she looks like a hot lesbian on Linkedin and her Pinterest is all culottes and dodgy linens.

I may mention the book over one of my Xmas dinner invites. Apparently it was a BBC series but in black & white

This book belongs in MY library not the county library. I read it and tried to buy it from them but nooo. A paper back that has been on their shelf since 09 and I think I am the first person to read it. Published in 1967 it was out of print. I found a used copy in a bookstore in Toledo, Ohio and will have it next week
After I read it I want/wanted to be an Indian. The white man really fucked up a good thing.

The Author is the main character. A true story of a mountain man living with the Indians. He didn't start to write it until he was sixty. The manuscript was found in an attic wrapped in wax paper in an old dynamite box.


Tough Trip through paradise by Andrew Garcia

I am reading: THE HISTORY OF EVOLUTIONARY ETHICS AND THE EFFECTS OF ETHNO- DIASPORATIC TRENDS ON THE GROWTH OF DEONTOLOGICAL AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL ETHICS, BY IGOR KROPOTKIN. It's an interesting read and compelling assessments of my own ethical compass.

Never heard of it! Is it a good 'un?

It is! I think you'd like it.

In Daisy Darker, the estranged Darker family reluctantly gathers at Nana’s dilapidated coastal cottage to mark her 80th birthday. “Seaglass” stands alone on a tiny tidal island; at high tide, the Darkers will be stuck together and cut off from the rest of the world for a long eight hours. But just as Nana’s eighty-strong quirky clock collection chimes midnight, she’s found dead. An hour later, someone else is dead. Low tide is still five hours away. Who of the Darkers will survive until then?

Ooh that does sound good. Might order that. Thanks for the rec.

Blackberry Wine - Joanne Harris

Done - wow, what a ride. I'm in love with her words

Reading for a class next week: Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet and Lope de Vega's The Montagues & The Capulets. Just found a copy of the BBC 1978 production of R&J with a young Alan Rickman as Tybalt! I've got to watch that.

But soft! What light from yonder window breaks?
It is the yeast, and Juliet has the thrush
Arise fair sun, and put Canesten on ya chuff
Which is already red and itchy

You have to admit, The Prince of Cats is the coolest title ever.
