Let Me in Your Window by Adam Ellis

Ellis does such a good job introducing premise, developing tension, and playing with modern technology in the form. I want to see him unleashed on a longer format and answer, "If this is true, what else is true? And, if that is true, what ELSE is true?"

Bad Dreams in the Night by Adam Ellis

Scary, but superficial. I don't know if it's his art style, but this felt a little tongue in cheek throughout. I really liked the commentary after each story, and the stories are all clearly very personal, but I wish that came through more in the telling.

The Order of the Stick: On the Origin of PCs by Rich Burlew

I can't believe I've been reading this series for twenty years, and it can still make me laugh out loud. If you want to understand what makes me tick, I think you could do a lot worse than reading this and watching The Venture Bros.

You Like it Darker by Stephen King

Like any collection of short stories, there's some bangers and some duds, but the back half of this is absolutely stacked. Rattlesnakes is a phenomenal sequel to Cujo, The Dreamers is a great nod to Lovecraft, and Laurie is King at his best.

Billy Budd, Sailor by Herman Melville

It would not be too far a stretch of the truth to say that, in this writer's view, Melville's prose (while often parenthetical and meandering) nevertheless brings joy not unlike that found upon grasping some ineffable truth once thought hidden by the Creator

How to Invent Everything by Ryan North

North makes humanity this loveable bunch of saps bumbling around in the dark accidentally inventing things that work for the wrong reasons, and says "Look at all the great things these bozos did. You can do better. Go do it."

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk

Nice little read. I didn't fully resonate with the main character, but I enjoyed the imagery and some of the philosophical musing. There's a passage about the heavenly sphere's influence on the soul that'll stick with me.

I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

This book rules. It's super clunky, but it's got the juice. I feel like I've been reading Butcher my whole life and these books are so special to me. They're cheesy, they're dated, but they've got heart where it counts. Strange to get so much rain in December

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

Reread in preparation for Twelve Months next year. Enjoyed it much more the second time around, but it's still a really flawed book. It's padded. It's too short. Characters make huge choices that only make sense if you've read all the short stories. Still Dresden tho

One Piece: Skypiea Vols. 31, 32, 33 by Eiichiro Oda

Got literal chills at least three times while reading this. That scene at the end of the arc that sounds like a Beatles song? Perfection. And, the Davy Back game might be the funniest yet.

The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu

This book's got it all: schemes, romance, betrayal, war, and most importantly GIANT WEIRD ANIMALS. ARMORED NARWHALS TWICE THE SIZE OF A BLUE WHALE. DIRIGIBLE FALCONS WITH A TWENTY FOOT WINGSPAN. WHATEVER THE HELL MATA ZYNDU IS. Book rules; read it.
