Books, Books, and More Books

@SW-User I've been enjoying his novels for decades.

@ChipmunkErnie nice. I look forward to checking him out!

@ChipmunkErnie Great suggestion.

@turningthekeys it's a good read.. Maybe a bit quirky and an acquired taste.

@SW-User It is a political drama about a Supreme Court or cabinet position appointment.

@ProfessorPlum77 that sounds good. I like the style.

@SW-User Check it out! 🤠

@fun4us2b yes! Sounds good.

@MrBlueGuy I haven't read him in years, probably decades, but recently came across a short video about him in which it was revealed that much of his early work was heavily censored before publication because the editor his publisher assigned to him was extremely Puritanical and removed anything she thought would be inappropriate for a child -- her perceived view of his reading audience.

@caPnAhab that sounds fucking awesome.

@HowtoDestroyAngels man, I love this book such that I wrote a post about it a while ago. It's in my pinned posts

@caPnAhab I'll check it out.

@katydidnt Are you talking about On The Road by Jack Kerouac?
I've listened to three of the nine discs so far.

@JohnnySpot Yes.

@katydidnt I was talking to JD Salinger about On the Road, he says it's good, but Thor Heyerdahl didn't like it as much.

@rinkydinkydoink sounds intriguing.

@HowtoDestroyAngels Tale of Two Cities was a good read

@SW-User Most books by those 2 guys are pretty good - David Copperfield is my favorite Dickens and The Stand is really quintessential King...

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout He was drinking the quality cough syrup when he wrote the Dark Tower series.

@goliathtree lolz right. At the height of a max coke binge.

The first book was a short story for college.. he built on it 😎👍

@QCDog2659 excellent book!

@Kwek00 I will have to check those out. Thank you.

@BiasForAction I love Toni Morrison

@Bexsy looks interesting - you like it?

@fun4us2b yes, was a book rec. From a friend here. I am a dad joke fiend. So, let's just say this book tickles me.
