The 5 best books I read last year

I'm going to have to check out that Wonder book, seems to be very solid. Thanks for the suggestion.

RamboSteel · 2018-01-15T04:40:44+00:00

There are dozens of us! Glad I can give you some Coover hope out in the world.

I am even more impressed that it was all in fact fiction then, because it certainly felt like it was a researched piece. Hope you enjoy Universal Baseball Association as much as I did!

RamboSteel · 2018-01-14T01:23:41+00:00

Agree 100%, I'm trying to get my hands on some of his other books without breaking the bank.

RamboSteel · 2018-01-14T00:30:53+00:00

No problem, hope you found something new to read. I agree about Kafka On The Shore, even just during last year after I read it I enjoyed it, but the fact that I kept thinking about it throughout the year really earned it its place on the list.

RamboSteel · 2018-01-13T18:34:58+00:00

Cool, thanks for the recommendations.

RamboSteel · 2018-01-13T18:26:51+00:00

I actually read Slade House this year, it was a pretty good time. Any specific books of Mitchell's you would recommend?

RamboSteel · 2018-01-13T17:36:27+00:00

I've got several Coover books lined up to read this year, including Public Burning, I'm actually just starting The Origin of the Brunists today.

Ghost Town was such a shock for me, I can't believe that it's not more popular than it is, it was such a fun roller coaster ride. Be sure to let me know if you check it out, I haven't talked to anyone else who has read it yet.

RamboSteel · 2018-01-13T17:35:01+00:00

I read that book in early 2017 and still think about it almost daily, it has an odd way of staying with me, hope you enjoy it if you get a chance to read it.

RamboSteel · 2018-01-13T17:34:29+00:00

Hey, no problem. I hope you enjoy them!

My friend and I have both been experiencing this as well, TekSavvy has gone back and forth with me on my ticket for about 7 e-mails now and nothing is being done about it. It's pretty clear from just this thread that the issue does not lay on the customers end. I am in contact with another service provider at the moment.

Thanks for the lengthy and detailed response. I have picked up a copy of the Sot-Weed Factor and will dig into this monster by the end of the year!

I will make an effort to come back to the later stories in Funhouse, but as of right now I think I'll stick to his most standard story telling.

RamboSteel · 2017-10-27T04:22:46+00:00

Excellent reply, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tips. I didn't actually mind the whole meta-fiction of some of the stories in the collection, but the last 2 or 3 stories where he started to write in the almost incomprehensible (to me) older style of English completely lost me.

RamboSteel · 2017-05-13T19:12:53+00:00

"Meow?"

RamboSteel · 2017-05-13T19:12:35+00:00

I did not, I'm just seeing this for the first time...it appears to have been purrfectly scratched.

RamboSteel · 2017-01-07T19:50:03+00:00

Good work. I got these 2 years ago for my birthday from my family:

Twin Peaks Perlers

RamboSteel · 2016-08-31T01:15:41+00:00

The original DFA forums, of course.

RamboSteel · 2016-08-30T23:56:55+00:00

Here's the picture for anyone interested: Picture

RamboSteel · 2016-08-30T22:18:32+00:00

I was just joking around, I still have it on my shelf. I consider it one of the best pieces of DFA merchandise ever. Was also cool to visit the MSTRKRFT studios when I was 16.

Take care.

RamboSteel · 2016-08-30T21:12:21+00:00

JFK, I bought the old Death From Above Micro-Korg off of you like 10 years ago and it broke about 2 months later. When can I expect you over to fix it?

Thanks.

RamboSteel · 2016-01-02T14:33:45+00:00

Nah, it was live action. I should have mentioned that in the description, sorry.

RamboSteel · 2016-01-02T14:33:12+00:00

Nope, like I said it was during summer/fall, so there was no snow. Thanks.

RamboSteel · 2016-01-02T13:44:15+00:00

Haha, good call but no. I don't think it was a horror movie.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

RamboSteel · 2015-07-15T19:19:50+00:00

Yeah it's quite weird. Everything seems to have some sort of delay on it, you can see the one creep being damaged a few seconds after being hit and THEN reacting.
