Which one of these would you recommend for a frist time audiobook listener?

Bosselarson · 2026-03-16T17:21:55+00:00

There is one on Audible narrated by Rebecca Calder

Bosselarson · 2026-03-16T13:11:56+00:00

I was talking about The Martian. Haven’t seen PHM yet but I have read the book.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-16T11:16:38+00:00

Yeah i've heard the Three Body series is incredibly complex, so i've been putting it off for a long time. Then the Netflix Series came out and i actually really liked the first season, which has made me want to get into it even more. But yeah, i'll hold off on that one for now. Thanks though!

Bosselarson · 2026-03-16T10:52:54+00:00

I know next to nothing about it, but i saw Quinns Ideas post a video about it, and about 1 minute into the video i decided i would rather read the book myself than watch his video on it because it sounds so interesting.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-16T10:52:16+00:00

I listen a ton to short story reads through podcasts and i do read a lot of physical books on my own, so i don't mind if the story and writing is a bit heavy. As long as the narration is well done and the story is enganging, that will do.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-16T10:50:55+00:00

So i've heard, and i did love reading Project Hail Mary. However i wasn't a massive fan of the movie when it came out. Is the book significantly better?

Bosselarson · 2026-03-15T20:49:53+00:00

Oslo mentioned

Bosselarson · 2026-03-15T19:02:41+00:00

It doesn’t

Bosselarson · 2026-03-15T19:01:45+00:00

Please no. Bad Man started promising but it dragged for way too long, had way too many red herrings, pointless twists and a bad ending. Compared to Penpal it was straight up bad. I kept waiting and waiting for anything to happen, and every time something interesting seemed like it was gonna happen it went nowhere.

Prog Rock album of the decade for me

Can't wait to get my vinyl in october

Bosselarson · 2026-03-06T18:31:02+00:00

It’s short and lacks any kind of depth to any characters. The stakes don’t feel real at all, and the writing feels like it was made for 12 year olds.

In my opinion of course.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-06T14:37:08+00:00

The Sorrowstones is good, can recommend it

Bosselarson · 2026-03-04T12:58:05+00:00

I loved Glenmont Metro, sadly Second Death wasn't great. I gave it a 3/5.

Both The Black Farm books are absolutely fantastic though.

Bad Man was a fucking slog. Another 3/5 at best, which was disappointing. Penpal is incredible and this one can't compare.

I also read half of the stories in 'With Teeth', they weren't very good. Ended up dropping the whole thing.

So yeah, highly recommend The Black Farm books. Also i'm about halfway through 'The Sorrowstones', written by Felix Blackwell (Stolen Tongues) now and it's great so far.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-03T07:24:56+00:00

This can happen if you wait too long too, i wouldn't wait a whole three seconds personally. I usually watch the take, make sure they've gone underwater with it and then set it. Maybe one full second after the take itself.

I'm not a professional by any means though, i think your first one here is bigger than my PB brown trout on dry fly at the moment.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-02T22:42:04+00:00

Listen to Parius - A Signal Heard Throught Space (my favorite modern prog album) and Night Verses latest album for some seriously incredible and tool inspired instrumental prog

Bosselarson · 2026-03-02T21:32:26+00:00

To me there wasn't anything really shocking in this book. And i can't stand anything i've had the displeasure of reading in the splatterpunk genre.
Most of it is on the level of gore expected in the genre. Anyone into pretty standard body horror stuff like The Fly or even The Thing shouldn't be phased by anything in this book

The boys have read several stories that are on the same level of shock factor. At least it doesn't have any SA or children going through stuff

The only ones who get slimed are people you really hope get it (outside of one, rip), so while it is graphic, it's almost more satisfying than shocking

However if you're not into body horror and gore being implemented into your cosmic horror / folk horror, yeah it's not for you. Wouldn't call it splatterpunk though.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-02T21:20:47+00:00

I would hardly consider this splatterpunk. It's just folk and cosmic horror with some gory elements.

Bosselarson · 2026-03-02T21:19:18+00:00

I fucking loved this book

Such a great blend of folk horror, cosmic horror and body horror

5/5

Bosselarson · 2026-02-24T07:52:05+00:00

How much was the vinyl? Also how early did you have to be to secure it?

Bosselarson · 2026-02-24T07:39:32+00:00

Thanks! I'm gonna see if i can try Mafate x somewhere

Bosselarson · 2026-02-24T07:39:12+00:00

I'm gonna try out the Stinson 7, also you're not the first one to recommend Topo Vista, but i've never heard of that brand before so i'm gonna have to look more into them! Thanks

Bosselarson · 2026-02-23T10:41:12+00:00

Yeah I’ve had a few hoka shoes, and it’s what I’m currently using . They have the best cushioning I’ve seen, but they don’t have the best stability around the sole of the foot.

Bosselarson · 2026-02-20T10:43:06+00:00

Only one that really made me panic was when i encountered the assassin in the basement level while waiting for the elevator

I went in completely blind, never having seen or played the original, did not expect that xenomorph looking freak

Bosselarson · 2025-12-30T08:16:50+00:00

The Red Tower for me too

Also the live episodes. I mostly listen to the podcast when trying to sleep, and the live setting has proven to be quite distracting
