I usually read one non fiction and one fiction.


I usually have two or three books on the go at once, swapping fiction and non-fiction depending on my mood.

Is this good?

I keep getting this book suggested on Goodreads and amazon. I love southern Gothic realism, but I was worried this one was more of an Oprah's book club kind of pick.

Fuck it... I'll buy it anyway. Let me know what you think though...


It was worth the read, I think.

Honestly, the prose about the marshland was the best part. There's a kinda contrived murder mystery that I thought was a little hokey. And I thought the main character was a little Mary-Sue-ish. Still, its beautifully written and you like the characters you should. I didn't get hung up anywhere and it drew me to the end.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

As boring as it may sound...the old TIME-LIFE American Civil War series. I love history and this staying at home/working from home stuff is slowly turning my brain to mush. This seems to be a good way to ease back into serious subject matter -- lotsa pictures.

I'm currently reading Bag of Bones by Stephen King and Killing Floor by Lee Child. The latter I'm closer to finishing but haven't read a page in over a week because there's like 4-5 pages of pure narrative to read from where I left off. Stretches of narrative that are too long tend to be a huge turn off for me so I've been procrastinating.

The Butchering Art, by Lindsay Fitzharris. Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine.

The descriptions of the hospital conditions and procedures of the time are both horrifying and fascinating.

I studied history way back when and at the time took out a subscription to a popular but high brow magazine. I have continued to get the magazine but tend to store them up and then bing read my way through them got 6 to get through and I am caught up again.

The Game of Saturn: Decoding the Sola-Busca tarroch
by Peter Mark Adams



A beautifully produced book published by Scarlet Imprint. The illustrations of the cards are superb.

Peter Mark Adams research has led him to the conclusion that the Sla-Busca pack is anything but a fortunetelling deck of cards, is in fact (in his words) " A potent grimoire of the darkest imaginable sorcery."

A fascinating piece of academic detective work.


"For the first time in over five hundred years, the clues embedded within the cards have been decoded to reveal a pagan ritual tradition active amongst the members of the Renaissance elite.
Beneath its beautifully decorated surface, its imagery ranges from the bizarre to the grotesque; we encounter scenes of homoeroticism, wounding, immolation and decapitation redolent of hidden meanings, violent transformations and obscure rites.
Conveyed from Byzantium to Italy in the dying years of the Byzantine Empire, the pagan Platonist, George Gemistos Plethon, sought to ensure the survival of Neoplatonic theurgy by transplanting it into the elite families of the Italian Renaissance.
Plethon’s vision of an elite, illumined Saturnian brotherhood marks the birth of the idea of an illumined elite over three centuries before Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati.
‘The Game of Saturn’ fully explores the historical context for the deck’s creation against the background of Byzantine decline, interstate diplomatic intrigue and Ferrarese-Venetian warfare.
The recovery of the deck’s encoded narratives constitutes a significant contribution to Renaissance scholarship, art history, tarot studies and the history of Western esotericism."

My wife says I buy too many books I'll never read.

My take is, its best to be safe than sorry.

My current lunchtime read is Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by WH Davies. That's tramp in the sense of a wandering beggar. A Welsh poet who traveled all around the US at the end of the 19th century, lost his foot jumping a train, then wandered around the UK for a few more years until finally publishing some poems and getting recommended by George Bernard Shaw. Fascinating.

In the evenings I'm reading Winnie The Pooh by AA Milne out loud, with voices, for the fifteenth time.

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.

Also, I still haven't finished Bag of Bones yet. Proving a bit difficult to get through it. Funny enough, I'm almost finished Sharp Objects(which I started last week) and I'm still barely over 50% of Bag of Bones.

The devil all the Time by Donald Ray Pollock.

I read this a couple years ago. I'm re re reading it now. It's about a set of intersecting characters in Appalachian Ohio. They made a movie about it that comes out next month. It has a stellar cast.....

The mini series is actually better that the book. A rarity. Amy Adams did such a good job.

It's an easy read, but it's quite good and it's easy to immerse in and escape for a bit.

Soldier Dogs by Maria Goodavage

It is about canines in various roles in the US Military.

I’ve been in awe of all the story competitions and the amazing writers, so I gave it my best shot for “Spring Forward.” I’d be honored if you would stop by and read it.
