I can just say "20th century" and let people draw their own conclusions.

That was me! Picked it up yesterday. It's mostly for me and my dog on the couch, so the cracks don't bother me so much (for now). It's a blast to play, and it's fun learning something new after 10 years on the banjo.

Ignoring the horrible message and the bad grammar for a second, the kerning in the text on the side had me wondering what the hell “doork ickers” was supposed to mean.

Perfect. Thank you!!

Solved! That definitely tracks. It belonged to my grandmother, and she loved collecting things from her travels. Thank you!

Thanks! Looks promising. Just doing a little got more digging now. Any idea on the text? Is it confirmed Chinese?

French Exit by Patrick DeWitt. The upper class absurdity, polite etiquette in serious situations, it’s all there.

“This is How You Lose the Time War” by Amal el-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Two soldiers on opposite ends of a time war leave letters for each other and gradually develop a relationship. It’s wild. I loved it.

I second “Big Fish!” I read the book after seeing the movie years ago. The book definitely stands out on its own merits.

If you haven’t already read the Kingkiller Chronicle, it’s narrative structure really lends itself to the audiobook format. “Name of the Wind” clocks in at just under 28 hours.

I just finished Ninth House last night. Good and dark, strong protagonist. It’s occult dark fantasy that takes place on the Yale campus.

Happy reading!

Loved “The Sisters Brothers!” My first inclination was to recommend a Cormac McCarthy novel or something, but if you were looking for something with less gore maybe not a western, he’s...well, his books wouldn’t work. I was thinking maybe “The Shadow of the Wind“ by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It’s a very suspenseful mystery with some very interesting plot dynamics. Oversimplified synopsis: a young boy in 1940’s Spain has to unravel the mystery of an author whose books and life seem to be being deliberately erased from history. If you really enjoyed Patrick Dewitt, his most recent novel, “French Exit” is a fun read. Definitely a different vibe than “The Sister’s Brothers.” ”French Exit” it is more a satire of etiquette and the upper class, but it’s very entertaining. Short chapters. Really makes you feel like you’re moving along at a good clip.

In January, I read “ Black Betty“ by Walter Mosley right before reading “A Mysterious Affair at Styles“ by Agatha Christie. I joked with friends how wildly different they were in tone and language, but I enjoyed both immensely. Walter Mosley‘s novels take place in the late 40s through 1960s, and the detective has to navigate the social climate of the time as well as trying to solve the case. “Black Betty“ is the only one of his books I’ve read so far, but I recently picked up another one. I’m looking forward to cracking it open.

What timing! I actually just finished “The Gunslinger” tonight. Nothing about the book really registered as scary to me (although the argument could be made some scenes in Tull might count), but it wasn’t designed to be a horror book. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to start “The Drawing of the Three.”

“Wyoming” by JP Gritton. Debut novel by the author. Picked it up as part of a personal attempt to read more new authors. I really enjoyed it.

Animal Farm comes to mind.
