Not a book I would choose to read, but it's part of a curriculum I'm involved with. We shall see.

My first ARC!!!

Maybe I'll come back one day

Maybe later. Too "something" right now and I can't get into it.

Not a book I ever considered reading, but The Great American Novel Podcast says it's up next, so read it I will. LBJ will have to take a backseat for a bit.

I love Robert Caro's writing so much. Let's do this!

This doesn't seem like a book I would read. I don't remember adding it to my list and it doesn't ring any bells at all. Therefore, I must read it, as it could possibly contain some important message I'm definitely meant to know.

LOL

Here's hoping.

The fact that I 100% forgot I was reading this says it all.

Back in 2010, Michael Swanwick wrote a story about me via a fundraiser for Clarion West. I rediscovered it today and it was such a a joy. I look forward to this one!

Wow! This book BEGINS!!!!!

I have to get out of this rut I'm in. So tired of dystopian, disease-riddled landscapes that may or may not be Earth. Hoping this helps. Please don't be silly.

I had no idea Rupert Holmes continued to exist after the Piña Colada song. I am ashamed!!!

Ahhhhh...this book was written before The Reformatory. A long time before it. I kept thinking, is this even the same author? It just doesn't hit the same. I'll probably finish, but if I don't, I'll move on to The Living Blood.

Nope. When will I learn to trust my instincts?

I don't want to read this because of the cover, but that's just ignorant.

A lot of this is hilariously written...like a high school kid mad at another kid who won a prize. But, if nothing else, it's a really great resource for realizing just what a behemoth the US government is. Oh, and it's horrifying as well. Forgot to mention that!

I just can't finish this. I wanted to like it because everyone likes Vonnegut, right? I don't know why I feel shame about this.

Nope

Another one I was supposed to read, but never did. Thanks again to The Great American Novel podcast for helping me right the literate wrongs of my past.

I know I keep giving these books 3 stars, but there's obviously something compelling about them that keeps me coming back. I'm excited to see where this one goes, but sad the series is coming to an end.

Reading along in 2024 with the 99 Percent Invisible podcast. I'm a few months behind, but I really only have 300 pages to read before the next episode. I think this will be great!

I was going to start Sky Coyote, but the next episode of The Great American Novel podcast just arrived, so McCullers it is! Another book I pretended to read but never actually did.

Someone told me I would like this.

I'm excited to read this and then listen to the episode on The Great American Novel podcast!

YES!!!!!!

I can't believe I haven't read this, so I might get a chapter in and be sad I'm not reading unread Rothfuss.

My favorite podcast, Great American Novel, has an episode devoted to it, so read it I shall.

I'm enjoying this, but holy hell stop telling us the same things over and over again. If I'm halfway in, I already know that X did this and Y feels however and Z and B have beef for M reasons. Rant over.

Setting this one aside for now to read Spark. Might come back.
