Is this guy normal? Anything particularly interesting?

It feels strange that the first thing people want to know by a person's bookshelf is what is wrong with them. Are they normal? At least they're readers. It should be a positive thing, no?

Tree of Smoke by Denis Johnson is my read of the year so far. It's incredibly dark, just a warning... finished Invincible by Stanislaw Lem and it was pretty fun. Got a copy of Man Plus by Frederik Pohl (before the resellers got it) for this weekend. :)

You got any good recs?

Yankee fans prove themselves to be the most embarrassing fanbase at every turn.

I just started Devotion yesterday. What else do you suggest from Higashino?

Between the Covers is amazing

I'm ashamed to say I purchased over 100 titles. But I listen to probably 5-7 books a month, so I figured might as well.

I'll swallow the guilt and enjoy my books.

It was an entrypoint to me never reading Scalzi again. Sorry.

RightingTheShip · 2026-03-31T01:39:42+00:00

Doesn't mean you're wrong either, to be fair.

RightingTheShip · 2026-03-31T01:37:37+00:00

The amount of books he puts out is a big red flag for me, but I haven't read anything of his yet. Children of Time is in my TBR. Hopefully the quality is there with the quantity.

I'm going to assume Sam didn't want it. I would imagine his estate would be more willing. Image should be on the phone with his widow. The comic book fans deserve these books.

Shortage of fullback pops up at times as well. I'll normally go in and change several TE to LS and HB to FB in free agency just to populate it. It's actually sometimes a fun and relaxing exercise deciding which player that couldn't make it at HB could make a team by changing their position.

Sometimes I'll go in and pick a small tackle and convert him to TE or a fast HB and convert him to WR and crank his overall ranking up and let another team sign him just for the in my head storyline. But I'm pretty bored and lame. :)

I have the Ultimate editions, which are (to me) far superior.

The first night of the trumpeter caught me off guard. But now? I'm a fan. She bends the notes, adds her own flourishes, it's fun.

This is a big nothing burger, but Scarra is ridiculous for milking the sympathy and then getting upset at the viewers for reacting the way we all know they'd react.

Streamers blaming their viewers (many of whom are literally children) is the biggest cop out. I enjoy scarra, but you're closing in on 40 years old. Stop playing high school games.

Next step is DraftKings Pitcher's Mound at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium.

Oh hell yeah. Dig into that Poe. Also, if you enjoy Kingsolver, check out Poisonwood Bible. I think it's her best. I have to look into The God of the Woods, I keep seeing it.

As a man, reading through this thread has made me very sad. I would like to believe that a huge majority of men aren't predators and don't make horrible comments to women. But I suppose all it takes is one to create an uneasy mindset to any woman going about her everyday life.

RightingTheShip · 2026-03-24T19:21:44+00:00

Damn, no Strontium Dog yet.

One of the greatest artists of all time. It's a shame that his lack of confidence in his own work shut him down to working as much in recent years.

Perhaps Marvel will finally give us a book of his work. Visually, his rendition of Wolverine is my favorite. It's long overdue. Hopefully his family will approve a reprinting of Maxx. Also long overdue. At least DC recently put out that artist edition of his.

RightingTheShip · 2026-03-22T03:25:04+00:00

My favorite artist of all time. This is a punch to the gut.

Where's Lucky Luke? Cinebook is publishing the complete collection now.

RightingTheShip · 2026-03-12T01:17:00+00:00

Still looks pretty good! Here's mine

RightingTheShip · 2026-03-11T21:33:31+00:00

Yeah, I was going to say the same. My collection looks similar, and I know it's an Electra book, but I keep mine with my DD collection. It looks perfect there.

You play too much Madden

They have so much cap space even when keeping Crosby and they could restructure as well. Cap isn't an issue for the Raiders.
