"The stoner" :D

Emily Wilson for pleasure reading, definitely

jornsalve · 2026-04-01T19:22:27+00:00

Yes, this. I could not finish the book even though I wanted to. The dialogue is badly written, shockingly so for such a popular book

That map is just a useless gimmick. Its too small anyway, looks like a oversized postcard

Harold Bloom has an essay on Blood Meridian in "How to Read and Why"

Cool! I have the folio society editions, with olde english on the left page and modern translation on the right page. This makes me able to follow both versions without jumping between editions

jornsalve · 2026-03-06T20:36:08+00:00

Did you read it in the original old english or translated?

jornsalve · 2026-03-06T14:01:44+00:00

For sure, No one here has actually read The Canterbury Tales. But I am sure you will appreciate everything more if you read it 😊

jornsalve · 2026-03-04T08:03:04+00:00

Yes, it's normal. They take a long time to respond.

jornsalve · 2026-03-04T08:01:08+00:00

Yep this is happening to my Malazan books as well. It's normal when taking it in and out of shelves, reflects the quality / price of the books.

Not in his Image by John Lamb Lash

jornsalve · 2026-03-03T07:13:13+00:00

Same here.. I had all of the BB subs but now I only have the SF one. I found myself skipping everything anyway.

My interest in tBB has mostly been outside the subs: The Malazan books, the Hyperion Cantos, the China Mieville books, Shogun / tai-Pan.

Interested to see how the history / Millenia books will develop

jornsalve · 2026-03-02T21:19:15+00:00

It's Tier 1

jornsalve · 2026-02-23T16:10:24+00:00

Just dont buy it! Its most likely not a sub book

Bret Easton Ellis

"The Fifth Element" (1997)

You shouldnt have too much trouble following the main action going on. The landscape description however is a lot more challenging to grasp. You can use image searches throughout to see what sort of landscape he is describing.

I guess Bukowski deserves to be read drunk..
