    That old edition of the Silmarillion is absolutely gorgeous, great find! 📖
    My top 5 favourite authors of all time would definitely include Charles Bukowski, H. P. Lovecraft and Chuck Palahniuk, but then again, it's so hard to choose.

    I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Those might be fungus flies/gnats, they are related to fruit flies. Fungus flies happen when your house plants have soggy soil because summer time is gone and the soil is no longer drying out as fast. So basically, stick your finger in the soil to feel that it is dried out before you water again to prevent fungus flies. I have too many houseplants (50+), so fungus flies are my enemy. I've been focused on reading Just Kids by Patti Smith and A Game of Thrones (first time reading) and they are fantastic books so far.

    Glad the fans chose Under The Dome to move on, at least for now. Been slowly making my way through it. Read about half as of now. Has some sloooow moments, but that's to be expected. At the moment, I would probably say it's my third favorite King novel, behind Joyland and Revival.

    The Terror by Dan Simmons is great! I watched the Show without knowing what it was (expecting some Horror Series but not knowing about the historical Context). Then i read the Book by Simmons and also some Non-Fiction about the Historic Backgrounds. Its just such a captivating Theme with the Cold and the Life threatening Nature of the whole Expedition.

    Watching this early morning with a coffee whilst getting ready for the day = perfect. Also, I think you should absolutely start with Intermezzo because a. it's brilliant and b. I think you will enjoy it since it's a bit more "grown up" compared to her earlier works (which are also amazing obviously).

    Random recommendation cause I just read it and adored it:
    Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon
    Two down on their luck Syracusans during the Peloponnesian War decide to start a production of Euripedes plays using the Athenian POW’s left to starve in a rock quarry as their performers. The catch of the book, is that the characters speak in a modern Irish dialect.
    I blew through it. Really economical storytelling. Very enjoyable.

    Belated happy birthday and happy Thanksgiving! (Yes, US Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in Nov.) That Carrie cover looks familiar - I think it might have been the edition I read back in the '70s or early '80s. 😄I think you'll like Parable of the Sower - I thought it was pretty terrifying and depressing in a way, but very interesting and well-written. Thanks for mentioning the Kavelier & Clay book - I hadn't heard of it but now it's added to my TBR.

    The Sackler family is a huge pharmacy company that was responsible for the opioid crisis, making it very easy to get them from doctors who get paid enormous bonuses to hawk them. Kavalier is about comic books, I believe.😊 The Terror is also a tv miniseries with Ciaran Hinds.
