Friday Night Fiction: Imagining Argentina, Lawrence Thornton, 1987.
I subscribe to Used Books Monthly— it’s like a blind date with one or more books by mail.
Imagining Argentina came this week. I’ve never heard of the author or this novel, but apparently it won awards.

Instead of Friday Night Fiction for the solstice, it’s Friday Night Classic Movie—Hitchcock’s Vertigo, for the first time. Then maybe Harvey. I do love Jimmy Stewart.

“Reading should feel a little subversive… because it is! To sit around and read a novel in the year 2025 is an act of resistance.”
—Austin Kleon, “On Reading Novels”(austinkleon.com/category/reading/)
I’m not hardy enough for a street protest, but I will support my local library & read today.

City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett. I’m finally getting around to reading his first series—his other two are among my favorites. Excellent worldbuilding, engaging characters and intriguing story are hallmarks of his work.

Odin’s Day treasures from the Austin Public Library. 5 borrowed and Pachinko was on the Recycled Reads for sale shelf. I’m excited about all of them, but will probably begin with The River Has Roots. Although Sister, Sinner, about Aimee Semple McPherson has the lure of the unknown.

I’ve finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, @sgj.bsky.social. Thought I would binge it as soon as I opened it, but my heart needed time for the words to go where they needed to, to absorb the sorrow. I’m still sniffling a little. Always love the afterwords. Thank you for this book.

I’m eagerly awaiting Is a River Alive, by Robert Macfarlane. Field Notes has this set of little memo books. They feel so good in the hand. The list of practical applications on the back inside cover makes me smile. I’ll have fun figuring out how to play with them. @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social

Friday night fiction! It’s finally time to read @sgj.bsky.social Graham Jones’s latest novel, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Wanted to be able to devote my whole being to this highly-anticipated work. He is one of my favorite writers, horror and otherwise. Almost halfway through.

I picked The Buffalo Hunter Hunter up last Thursday. I find myself nursing the anticipation. Once I crack the spine, I’ll binge the book, which will be a good, deep water experience, but then I’ll have to return to the surface. @sgj.bsky.social

I’m very disheartened by the Gaiman story. I have a copy of his “A Writer’s Prayer” that I framed after he not only signed it but also edited it. It was a golden moment because he lit up and took that moment while signing 1000 copies of his books.
I don’t know whether I can still treasure it.

In a north Austin neighborhood, @gabino.bsky.social. Finally stopped to get a photo. It looks even better at night. The hands around the trees are hilarious.
