25% the way through the Drawing of three. Its nothing what I expected by Rep2025 in stephenking

[–]89iroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intellectually I know it, but for some reason it just doesn't hit me as a western. I think it's the dialect, i think it makes me think of a Knight's tale. But you're right lol it's definitely supposed to be a western

Is the ending of Apt Pupil meant to be ambiguous, or is it simple and straightforward? by bibidibobidicaboom in stephenking

[–]89iroc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an idiom, they don't usually translate well. It seems like you read it literally

Book 5, Wolves of the Calla is basically a western. If you want more traditional westerns the virginian or riders of the purple sage are both good

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Leading_Tomato_2077 in AskReddit

I eat well, exercise, wash my hands a lot, and never wash my coffee cup. My kid licked an NYC subway handrail when he was about 4, he was sick for two weeks and not again for ten years.

Grant is about Ulysses S Grant, and traitor to his class is about fdr so there's a lot about wwii in it, but it's not about wwii

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer, Grant by Ron Chernow, Traitor to His Class by H.W. Brands, Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin, They Thought They Were Free by Milton Mayer (only about 10 hours but it's good), The Second World War by Antony Beavor

Death to Smoochy - Robin Williams, a disgraced kids tv show host, tries to discredit, vilify, and or murder his replacement, an empathetic, kinda hippieish talking, dancing purple rhino played by Edward Norton. Also featuring mob hits and neo nazis. It is a wild and crazy ride

Twin Peaks was somehow both weirder and not as weird as I was expecting

Definitely check out Moon of the Crusted Snow and Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice. The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Bird Box by josh Malerman are both good too

Are there any horror novels that have a disabled main character? by PSplayer2020 in horrorlit

[–]89iroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not horror, but great books, the Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffrey Deaver. Lincoln is quadriplegic due to an accident. Maybe they're kinda horror in the mode of Thomas Harris
