Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

Dead Beat by Jim Butcher: Dresden Files number 8. I liked this book a lot more than the previous one, Blood Rites. In this book, Dresden is fighting necromancers, who get their power from anti-life....

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

Blood Rites by Jim Butcher, Dresden Files #6. It didn't captivate me like the last book did. Dresden learns about his mother and gains some allies. He also fights vampires. The book seemed to be more...

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

Death Masks by Jim Butcher: Dresden Files #5. Review sites said that this is an excellent book, and it was. Butcher is able to write non-stop action without it ever becoming boring, which is a rare...

Re: Mojo Nixon dead at 66

I saw him in concert in 1989 or 1990. He put on an exhaustingly high-energy show.

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

@Kurt D. I usually post the title and author of the last book I read, sometimes followed by a picture of the cover.

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

The Crystal Gryphon by Andre Norton. High fantasy. I loved this book as a teenager. It's still very good.

Re: What Are You Reading 2024 (The Readening)

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I can see why it's a classic: the good bits are brilliant. I'm glad I read it. But, since it's a book written for children in the Victorian Age, it is very heavy on...

Re: Mickey's Mouse Trap (2024) -- Steamboat Willie Mickey horror movie

Re: Songs That Become More Popular Years After the Initial Release

Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses. That song was very obscure when it came out in 1981. I had to special order a compilation album of post-punk Christmas songs to get it. Today it gets played so...
