CALIgula Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I always wanted to see Greg Giraldo live. I was bummed when he passed away. People still don't know he was a lawyer and extremely smart... and made Dennis Leary look stupid on tv. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branding terror looks interesting. ^i've been wanting to read this one for a while....ever since i saw his speech that went viral.

Honestly if you saw the speech, theres probably not alot left to it. the audio book was like 2 hours or something short like that. couple of navy basic training stories in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell if I didnt really like the last wish, i believe thats the one with the short stories in it, because maybe something got lost in the translation or what the deal was. I thought it was ok but didnt really do alot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @diggity They are both a collection of short stories but sort of build to something at the end of Sword which is where the main Witcher story goes. It took me a second to get how The Last Wish was formatted because I was reading a bootlegged epub but I really liked both of them. I read TLW before watching the Netflix series and wish I'd just read the both of them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggity Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I listened to it. glad it was only 6 hours and regret not just watching the movie. I didn't realize that the same author wrote no country for old men. I really liked that movie. I'll probably do blood meridian too but think i might take a little break for a bit. been burning though them lately. on a lighter note. heres one I read a while back but don't think i ever mentioned. it is a break down of a ton of different artists and how they scheduled their days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrasivesaint Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’d highly recommend All The Pretty Horses or Child of God as well for those of you into McCarthy books, if you haven’t read them yet. McCarthy also wrote Sunset Limited. Only seen parts of it but i’ve heard it’s good, and dark. I think it was Sam Harris who said McCarthy is actually a super happy optimistic guy, the irony that all his books are pretty dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I read the Border trilogy over parts of 2018 and 2019. McCarthy's Texas/Mexico stuff is pretty gritty and my Spanish is bad to non-existent, had to read them with a translator. I have to space his stuff out. Blood Meridian has been sitting on my bookshelf for like 12 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I know I've said it in here before, but Blood Meridian is hard to read. I quit 3 distinct times after specific horrific acts of violence. Eventually worked through it, but it remains the only McCarthy that I have only read once, and likely it will stay that way. That said, Toadvine is an incredible character. Ben Nichols (I think that's his name, dude from Lucero) Has an album about it that is a good listen. That and The orchard keeper are the only ones I don't own first/firsts of. Sunset Limited is awesome, and a very quick read. The movie was entertaining, but reading the script is better. I think Child of God is his most funny book, though Suttree has some incredible lol moments as well. The only one I would recommend avoiding is The Counsellor. Such a disappointment, both book and film. Currently reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. About halfway through: fantastic storytelling, interesting histories woven together, and cool characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just started reading S. by JJ Abrams. It sat on my shelf for about 3 years while I decided how I was going to try.and read this monstrosity. I think Im going to just read the book first and then go through and reread it and try to digest all of the margin notes and insert material.

Was so on point if you've ever worked in a kitchen but he spent too much time being a new york wanker in his later books. And I always thought he was pretty condescending to people about not eating the "correct food" in japan when he's being toured around as a TV star. But in Kitchen confidential he was the fuckin' man and rightly so! recently finished this in two mammoth nights reading - was good but ending had some cheesy points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am filled with an overwhelming sense of contrite for not just leaving this on my bookshelf. J.J. Abrams ruins another promising concept with his failure to nail an ending. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
