Just finished! Forgot how dense older King books could be. Fun read though. Also interesting seeing King and Straub go back and forth. #booksky

I think Elon Musk has finally flown too close to the sun. Like Icarus of Greek mythology, he could well follow the classic hubris, atë, nemesis arc common to many ancient Greek tragedies: arrogance breeds bad decisions, bad decisions beget failure, and failure invites vengeance.

RIP Tom Robbins. Just heard the crappy news. A friend gave me this copy of Fierce Invalids back in 2002, which launched me on a years-long adventure down the Robbins rabbit hole of wonderful novels. #booksky 📚💙

I wish I hadn't read this book. Oh, it's masterfully written, by the brilliant Kazuo Ishiguro. But the premise/plot is beyond ugly. It's hideous. Imagine an insider tale from a child at Dachau, or maybe the Sand Creek Massacre. Ishiguro uses all his tools to ensure you feel everything. #booksky 💙📚

Is there a better line than, "There's a warm wind blowing the stars around, and I'd really love to see you tonight. "

My dad turned me on to Robert Crais' Cole/Pike series decades ago, and these books still bring it! I started and finished this new release last night in one go. #booksky 📚💙

The other day I revisited my local Irish pub and was reminded of the inspiration for the name of one of my first novel's characters, FBI man Bob Slane. What do you think, good guy or bad guy? #booksky

I finished the year the way I started: with Mary Stewart's excellent Arthurian fantasy saga.

I don't read much fantasy and The Blacktongue Thief was a surprise homerun. And yes, lol, I did read my own book (had to before publication).

I first read The Day Before Midnight in the 1980s and barely remembered it for this re-read. It's amazing! A must-read if you like military-techno thrillers.

I was a little let-down by the Crichton/Patterson techno-thriller, but loved Scalzi's latest yet again!

Just finished book 2 in Mary Stewart's Merlin/King Arthur saga. I remember liking the trilogy as a kid, and decades later I'm loving it! If you're into Dark Ages historical-fantasy fiction, I highly recommend this story. #booksky
