  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? August 04

  • ahh, i really want to re-read this, i read it when i was a teenager and i think a revisit would be interesting!

  • Bonjour mes amis!

  • ahhh he is so cute 😭

  • on the short stories front i started & finished Fifty-One Tales by Lord Dunsany, which i enjoyed very much. i liked how lean his writing was, just enough detail to set a picture in the mind but not enough to overwhelm, and there were some lovely stories. now i am on an Arthur Machen collection, from it i have only read The Great God Pan so far and it's one of those situations where i can see why it was influential but simultaneously didn't like it as much as it gets lauded. i will keep trucking along with the collection for now but if i end up dropping this one, so be it.

    i am also reading The House of the Wolfings by William Morris, a little over a third of the way through and enjoying it very much, i know there is a lot more of Morris to explore so i am excited. it is very enchanting and vivid, and i like how he pops a bit of verse in there. a few archaic words i have needed to look up as i could not quite discern from context, but that is fun too :)

    KNORMALLED THRU, by Knormalled (2026)

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 28

  • ahh that's cool that he is a favourite! i did vaguely know he was buddies with lovecraft but that was the sum of my knowledge about him before this.

    i have finished the collection now and very much enjoyed his descriptions of settings and objects, so while many of the stories were not quite my jam i did appreciate his prose and would like to explore more! alas i am not a words person (nor a brains one) myself so that is about all the detail i can give. though i may say it started some cogs turning, i would like to start a drawing based on a setting in one of the stories because it became so vivid in my mind.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 28

  • yeah that's fair! i don't mind not finishing things but i have to be having a bad time and feel like i am getting nothing out of it. mostly i can find worthwhile elements in media that otherwise is not my jam, it is kind of a challenge i give myself, to find buried treasure in a way. if something isn't even fun for me in that way then it is definitely time to hit the bricks tho.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 28

  • ahh kobos look really nice too! and thankyou, it is definitely late but i will take the good wishes anyway :)

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 28

  • it is a Boox Go, i don't think i needed the colour but i am not one to complain about such a nice birthday gift!

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 28

  • thankyou! i ought make a dent on my backlog, but once i figure out more about what i might be looking for i will certainly do just that!

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 28

  • very recently got an e-reader so that i can get back into reading, i am excited to be able to post something! hopefully i will find some contemporary fiction to read soonish, it's a bit overwhelming right now so i am just reading stuff that has been sitting in my Calibre library. frankly it has been so long that i am not even sure what i like to read anymore.

    anyway, last week i read Concrete Island by J.G. Ballard and now i am chewing through the Standard Ebooks collection of Clark Ashton Smith short fiction. i haven't particularly loved either but that's okay!

  • awesome to hear! it's a very handy resource for sure :)

  • It's Saturday, what have you watched this week?

  • finally got around to watching Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) and it was very good, about as subtle as a brick to the face but i think it kind of needed to be.

  • Netflix Among Parties in Early Talks to Buy Letterboxd: Report

  • there's NeoDB in case you didn't know, it is not solely for movies so maybe that's not quite what you're looking for but i switched to using that from Letterboxd a while ago and have been pretty happy with it for my purposes.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

  • just got a budget handheld console and the first thing i have been playing is GameBoy Color game Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! it is a simple collecting game with some puzzles, and very cute (i am terrible at the bowling & soccer mini-games though)
