My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, and spectacular #horror #books far and wide.

THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER is both a stunning, unique epistolary novel and a subversive, sly nod to the most famous one. Stephen Graham Jones again shows his mastery as a storyteller by crafting a genuine modern Classic filled with Horror, Tragedy, Truth, and Blood. It should be required reading.

Yes, I know I've posted this before, but I really want one 😊
Public libraries could make this the door to their reading areas, then I could try it, get sick of it, and not be bothered 😁

Just finished A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki... it was wonderful. Combines modern Japanese culture with historic Japanese culture (buddhist as well as second world war) with rural Canada and some time warping.

I got this suggestion some time ago through #bookstodon and am so glad I did!

Image of the book cover "A Tale for the time being". Five colorful horizontal stripes, in the top yellow stripe a drawing of a woman's face, viewed from hairline to nose. In a blue stripe an airplane against sky, in another darker blue stripe waves and ocean. In a green stripe part of a red notebook and in a yellow stripe a few evergreen trees in silhouette

I'm going to request having all books featruing humans banned, on the grounds that humans are boring 😜😂

A cartoon of three dogs at a library desk looking expectant as the librarian speaks to them saying, "The library rejected your request to ban all books on cats and squirrels. But, to be fair, it was no dumber than all the other book ban requests we get."

This struck me as a lovely idea. A citywide book club for people who read on the bus. The Dublin Bus book club selects a book by an Irish author every six weeks.

Also a lovely idea: instead of partnering with a company like Amazon, they’ve partnered with a beloved local independent book store, Chapters, for discounted books and events for the book club members.

Looking up the stairs of a Bus Átha Cliath double decker bus in Dublin. Freamed between the yellow handrail and a window and an electronic display board, there's a cheerful orange sign advertising the Books On Board Book Club. It has a picture of a nice big bus on it and information about the book club. Photo taken a few weeks ago.

I read and loved John Wiswell's award winning debut novel. I would lay odds on his second book being on many award ballots next year. Wearing the Lion is a fascinating retelling of the story of Heracles, the Greek demi-god known as Hercules to the Romans. A remarkable book, with every change making the story better. Highly recommended.

Picked up this book from the used bin of my local bookstore yesterday: You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier. Written in 2010 but very prescient and relevant to our current techno cultural world. It examines the ways in which software and technology shape thought and society.
#BookStodon #nonfiction #technology
1/N

Cover of you are not a gadget by Jaron Lanier. It is a word cloud of technology related terms in light gray on a white background. The title of the book stands out in blue lettering, along with the authors name and a blurb from the NYT.

finished reading The Odyssey 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Homer (trans. Emily Wilson).

Travel back in time for a little insight into the worldview & values of the ancient Greeks. Fickle meddlesome gods, male honour, rampant war and liberal violence, slavery & female subjugation. Easy flowing translation, though I sometimes lost the rhythm.
