The youtuber Plagued by Visions (Juan's) Disturbing books series gave me 4 more titles to pick up

so this brings y'all up to date 1. Birdman by Mo Hayder - like a gruesome mystery thriller 2. Tampa by Alissa Nutting - a touchy subject type that Juan couldn't finish, i like how Juan elsewhere talks about transgressive literature as ad...

Additional volumes

I've at present saved for later all the LOA volumes in the basket and am slowly and thoughtfully adding books that i think would be suitable for my insatiable thirst for the dark. As my motto shall be darkness in, sunshine out these 2 confirme...

THIS is in some most disturbing novels lists

of course i at first guffawed and thought, that is disturbing??!! But there was a video of a guy with a unique accent that spelled it out in delicious terminology, that it's filled with hopelessness, a neverending nightmare, so as i'm dying...

Making room for the dark side

Thank you all to the responders of my extreme book post, here i'd like to say which ones i'm probably gonna go with, and will be updated, this is fun, i would do this kind of searching for films in the past, but never before for books 1. B...

Pretty booktubers

Nothing nicer after much time reading to see a human being who is appealing to look at. Here are a few i've enjoyed watching, and if i come across more, as i ought to, i might add them here .....:) she looks a bit like my sister in law from abo...

Part of the fun is the planning to get things

And when you make the right choices, they surpass your expectations. In that spirit i share what i might be getting in 12 days, soon to be 11 days. The Library of America these hardcover editions are both real nice on a tactile level, and the c...

I reckon every ardent reader can connect to these remarkable words.

“Why do I read? I just can't help myself. I read to learn and to grow, to laugh and to be motivated. I read to understand things I've never been exposed to. I read when I'm crabby, when I've just said monumentally dumb things to t...

There's just soooooo many books to get

I checked on the LOA site, and i think it's a first for them, MOLIERE, i was astounded, i went wait a minute, he was french!! But it's that they're all translated by an American. It would be neat if there was an American who translated...

Here are some of the volumes i'm contemplating (13 days)

1. The Elementary Particles - Michel Houellebecq - this guy seems interesting, he likes i suppose to be as unsavory as possible saying offensive things, a misanthrope i saw a description. Well, if it's done right, i can like that sort of thing, ...

A volume i might get, it sure sounds like something i'd like

(Quote) from Wakefield Press, publisher of intriguing stuff, i'd also try out Disagreeable Tales by Leon Bloy, he was like some fire and brimstone Catholic kind of fella.

Do u like reading books

Which one you read last? Am reading something on technical analysis, after I completed a motivational book

Very realistic and powerful

‘In other words, you’ve never seen life, you know nothing about it and are acquainted with reality only in theory. But you despise suffering and are surprised at nothing for one very simple reason: your philosophy of vanity of vanities, the external ...

So this makes reading more important.

Books are our friends

I dont remember the last time I went to the library or bookstore for books that didnt have to do with school. Its been years since I curled up in my bed or couch and read a good book. Times are changing for many of us. Who has time other than sickly ...

It's a disease, but last update for awhile

Whenever i shift my focus, i simply must post about it, it's a form of testing the waves, see if it holds up. So, as you may know if you read my posts as of late i am swept up, totally by Library of America. I'm addicted to the feel of it...

Working at a bookstore is interesting because you can really judge a person for the types of books they read

a little update on how i think i'll order, gonna i think save for later the Aickman, Barron, and Padgett, Elmore Leonard and some of the Thompsons in order to make room for the author i began with, some of his biggest classic novels, i am talkin...

Novel #12 - Slapstick (1976)

Right after finishing his 1973 one, Slapstick starts off biographically, ... his mom committed suicide for example, Mark Twain was his favorite author, and he liked Laurel & Hardy, i got some L&H on Blu-ray, i'll now think of Kurt Vonneg...
