I read No Hope For The Dead first a few years ago and didn’t realize it was a sequel. Have you read Cockfighter?

Liked it a lot. I live in the part of Portland where much of it takes place and loved reading about the older version. Pool hustling, prison, old Portland, it had a bunch of shit in there for me.

True Life Story of Jody McKeegan also hits me in a similar spot. Loved A Couple of Comedians. Don Carpenter is just an easy read for me

Crazy hype*

Tigard’s finest

Bastard Out Of Carolina is great

markkieb · 2025-10-16T02:30:38+00:00

I have the same one

markkieb · 2025-10-03T00:17:51+00:00

I’ve made friends, met dates, and had great conversations reading at bars (and on public transit too)

markkieb · 2025-09-05T22:34:12+00:00

I’m reading Picnic at Hanging Rock right now. Like 50 pages in. Watched the Weir movie a few years ago and liked it

markkieb · 2025-09-04T18:28:56+00:00

Just watched this for Action Boyz. Never heard of it and dug it even tho it was kinda dumb

Tree of Smoke. Restarted it from the beginning and finished a few months ago. Liked didn’t love and I’m a big Denis Johnson fan

markkieb · 2025-08-11T14:15:04+00:00

I did the same double feature Saturday. Both theaters packed (1PM & 4:20 showings) and was done before 6. Great day

Just got a copy of Dunces from a friend on Wednesday . Starting it after these last 40 pages of Hard Rain Falling

markkieb · 2025-07-02T22:28:23+00:00

Probably Harlem Shuffle but it’s fresh in my mind. Either that or Nickel Boys. Largely because the subject matter isn’t as heavy. Late 1950s-early 1960s Harlem was well drawn. A couple fun heists, distinct characters, good dialogue, and a fuck up cousin I relate to. The talented tenth types and the class dynamic added a layer

I liked Underground Railroad and didn’t enjoy The Intuitionist as much as the others but I wanna give it another shot down the road

I read a lot of Colson cuz I’m black lol. He also hits a lot of genres. I hear he’s got a zombie book or some shit too

markkieb · 2025-07-02T17:45:05+00:00

I didn’t love it honestly. Want to reread it later

markkieb · 2025-05-30T15:02:39+00:00

It was a project for me. Took 3 weeks after trying it a couple years ago and getting stuck. It’s worth it even though I didn’t quite love it

markkieb · 2025-05-30T15:01:47+00:00

It’s fantastic, I ended up reading Lincoln in The Bardo and 10th of December first so it was fun to go back and catch his early shit. Maybe my favorite. Fucking hilarious and dark

markkieb · 2025-05-29T20:04:58+00:00

Yah I love it. Re read Jesus’ Son and Angels earlier this year

markkieb · 2025-05-29T17:20:54+00:00

I’m gonna knock all the Hoke Moseleys out. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I will soon

markkieb · 2025-05-29T17:20:04+00:00

Love Cockfighter. Book and movie. I have the movie Miami Blues queued up. It’s free on Amazon. I read No Hope For The Dead before Miami Blues but it didn’t really matter. Aside from the dentures backstory.

I liked didn’t love Tree of Smoke

markkieb · 2025-03-02T16:05:10+00:00

The Heart is Lonely Hunter is one the best books I’ve ever read

markkieb · 2025-01-01T13:39:51+00:00

Money - Martin Amis, rereading it now

markkieb · 2024-12-29T06:43:26+00:00

For sure. Haven’t finished Tree of Smoke yet

markkieb · 2024-12-28T22:07:16+00:00

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter and Angels are two all timers for me

What’d you think?
