That's awesome. I have been trying to get back running and I am slowly getting myself back to where I was before going on PT for my knee.
5/2024 4. First Power Play (John Miller): Read this because I love the TSR Gold Box PC games and I have a soft spot for Buck Rogers. I have never read a book which relied on similes as much as this book does.
5/2024 3. The Celestial Steam Locomotive (Michael Coney): Ambitious. It demands more from the reader than most readers would want to give. If you ever wondered what a Prog Rock concept album would be as a novel, this is it.
4/2024-5/2024 2. Gateway (Frederik Pohl): An excellently handled narrative device with remarkably good writing and an effective use of an intriguing SF gimmick to produce a strong metaphor for emotional entropy. I really liked this book.
I cannot explain it clearly, but a byproduct is that I want to keep a thread of books I'm reading this year. Can we pin stuff here? Gonna find out.
I read that as "strong lard" first but it still looks like an interesting book.
Great, underrated contemporary classic. The Citizen Kane of Comic Book movies.
I think Hawk The Slayer is a movie that lives perpetually between so bad it's good and just bad and where it falls at any given time depends on the company and available alcohol when watching.
Not new, but if you have not it: The Alchemist Cookbook (2016) was a fun movie that I don't hear many people talk about. (But that may just be me. I never know what people are talking about).
Shipwreck dancing the can can while Snake Eyes break dances... Both, might I add, to THE SAME SONG... Greatest thing ever put to animation.
