IRON GOLD by Pierce Brown
AS I LAY DYING by Faulkner
Not what I expected from my first Faulkner but I did enjoy it. I found the shifting perspectives to be interesting enough, but not sure I connected with it as much as I would have liked. Still think I’ll check out The Sound and the Fury at some point in the future.

DAWNSHARD by Brandon Sanderson
Tried the Graphic Audio for this and it was entertaining enough. I think I’m cooling on this series for a bit, so I’m going to step away from it for now.

BEOWULF
Did this one almost exclusively via audiobook. Seamus Heaney turns in a wonderful narration of his very own translation here. Thought a lot about how this text serves as an inspiration in Tolkien’s LotR. The people of Beowulf are transported to Middle-Earth and set squarely in Rohan.

OF MICE AND MEN
I really do love this style of prose that is completely stripped down, but not yet devoid of beauty. It feels picturesque in a way that is completely accessible and contains a great clarity.

Didn’t love this! First time in the series I felt like the character arcs either took trajectories that weren’t rooted in what had come before or did but landed with a very dissatisfying thud. Couldn’t even really be saved by the patented Sanderlanche.

In which I play Lord Brocktree, a Badger Lord from the Priory of the Honey Tree. Shamelessly stolen/inspired by the Redwall books I was obsessed with as a kid.

RING SHOUT
An entertaining piece of pulp fiction that lacked enough punch for me to love it, but I did like it. Breezy read for those looking for a flash of eldritch horror.

SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING, Vol. 1
I forgot to update this thread when I finished this last week. I did not write a full review on this, but I did enjoy it and plan to read more of this run later.

I thought for sure you meant Blade Runner 2049, but you’re really talking about of BR. This take is crazy.

If this is one of the most common complaints you get it’s indicative of how much someone has to reach. Loved your book.
