Reading "Monster Hunter International", by Larry Correia, for the 2nd time. Excellent book.
Just finished this one. Interesting take on modern society and change (or lack of).
Just started this one:
The TV series, with Jeff Bridges is very good, the book is better.
I'm so glad they gave @cosmicfolklore his own book and series
Just finished "Captain Alatriste", by Arturo Perez-Reverte. There is a movie starring Viggo Mortensen that is quite good and a fine treatment. The books are always better!
No pics, just rereading and sorting through my library of dog training books and magazines. Richard Wolters (looks like Einstein, haha) was “revolutionary” with his “Gun Dog” books back in the day and I bought into it then and for awhile, and frankly have learned there was so much wrong with some of his ideas. Into the “quiet” way now and clicker training and making sure I will be approaching the new puppy in ways that will set her up for success as a family dog and hunting companion. Totally different philosophy on “correction” and so much more widely known now about positive reinforcement and shaping rather than demanding behaviors. Us old dogs need to learn as well!
Martin Amis “London Fields” ( I find it very “Bellowesque”)
Will Durant “Our Oriental Heritage”
Will Durant “Our Oriental Heritage”
I met mr Conover at a conference years ago. He read from New Jack. Seemed like a really nice guy. I hear he’s got a new one about down and out folks living in parts of Colorado
The Remains is up there near the top of my fave list too
To amuse my granddaughters, I am reading Michelle Madow's "The Discovery of Magic" series of four books. It was written for 13-17 year olds. It is entertaining in a lightweight sort of way. On the final book now.
This is a novel about the 2 "halves" of Canada, the French and the English. Very interesting read. I have both Irish Canadian and Que'be'cois relatives in Ontario. So it hits home. It was written back in 1946 so is outdated to some degree. But the folks I know still have those same feelings. Heritage is important.
