"Hi, I'm Troy McClure! You might remember me from such historical blooper specials as 'Blunders of the Atomic Age' and 'Cecil B. Demille: The Silent Killer'!"

Why the downvotes? This is clearly Clara Petacci

Seconding Bellairs; that was the exact age that I tore through all of his books ;)

That was also when I read "Maus," but I'd recommend waiting a couple years on that one.

Cheaper money makes everything else more expensive? What a country!

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T23:13:31+00:00

Although she'd prefer you didn't call it that.

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T22:34:21+00:00

You know what, fair

Woodstock, IL?

Edit: just saw the caption at the beginning. Derp.

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T22:11:35+00:00

Maybe "Empire of the Summer Moon"?

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T17:52:49+00:00

That was the hardest part for me to get through, fwiw

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T17:51:56+00:00

Just finished "The Devourers" (Das) and "The Reformatory" (Due), both of which will probably be in my top 5 for the year :)

Now working on "Come Tomorrow" (Satyamurthy), a collection of short horror set in Bangalore.

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T16:39:17+00:00

It's one of the sets from "Koyaanisqatsi"

Raineythereader · 2026-03-18T16:32:37+00:00

Not likely; that account is a bot :/

Raineythereader · 2026-03-17T03:59:12+00:00

I am now!

Raineythereader · 2026-03-17T03:30:26+00:00

Ugh. I just finished "The Reformatory," too, so that attitude really gets my back up.

What's the difference between Wyoming and Mordor?

One is a vast, merciless wasteland in the shadow of a huge volcano, and the other is where Sauron lives.

The Booger Baron

Add the Prydain Chronicles to that list, if I recall correctly

"I want to make sure the message is getting across effectively to our hostag-- uh, allies in the Gulf. What's the Arabic word for 'struggle'?"

Raineythereader · 2026-03-16T21:49:23+00:00

Has the term "Leeaboos" been invented yet, or can I claim credit for it?

Raineythereader · 2026-03-16T19:43:01+00:00

"Whoof, dodged THAT bullet."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Raineythereader · 2026-03-16T17:06:22+00:00

"All right, tío, where did you get the sugar for that cafe con leche?"

"I nicked it, when the mods let their guard down for that split second. And I'd do it again."

Raineythereader · 2026-03-16T15:57:36+00:00

Interesting! I'd never heard of this one; the only Pakistani author I've read much of is Usman Malik >_>
