Tokage 5930 Posted January 22, 2019 Michael Cisco's 'The Great Lover', god I do love this dude's take on weird fiction, it's all really original so far and i love his use of imagery as well. wish his books weren't so hard to come by physically Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platy 3018 Posted January 22, 2019 The Keeper of Lost Things on audiobook. I know British people have a tea addiction, but you know it's serious when it's even written about in every other page of the book. I don't recommend it. Venus in Furs in physical format. It's okay.

It's basically an autobiographical book focusing on his childhood. Can't say I'm thoroughly impressed but it has its moments. I'm about halfway through, but losing steam a bit. Finished this one recently, it was okay but it took quite a bit of 'power reading' to get through it. Not totally boring but not amazingly enjoyable either. Currently reading a novel titled Budapesti skizo (Budapest Schizo) by the late Hungarian author Attila Hazai. It does not have much of a plot so far, it's more like the ramblings and everydays of a drugged-out hasbeen underground artist (the protagonist), but despite this it's a strangely entertaining and compelling read.

Koumori 58 Posted January 29, 2019 I have been a bit lazy when it comes to reading books lately. Probably because I'm working for a newspaper, where I read and also write more than enough. :'D But the last books I have been reading – because that's what I wanted for a long time already – were The Last Unicorn and Alice in Wonderland in English.

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Just finished a Hungarian book one of my friends lent me, Transziregény ("Tranny-novel") by Erika László. It's supposed to be 'based on real events', or in any case its protagonist is a living breathing actually existing person (well, dead now, but... you get it). It tells the biography of a circus kid who goes on a journey to find out about their sexuality, ultimately identifying as trans, while travelling the world doing all sorts of entertainment / escort / sex-work. It could have been an interesting read but it was marred by repetition and irritating lack of fact-checking and editing. Also, I managed to snag a preowned-but-amazing-condition copy of Port of Saints by William S. Burroughs recently for quite cheap along with some other books (which is a small miracle cuz usually they sell 2nd-hand copies of it for quite a sum, seeing how Penguin hasn't done a new edition of this particular volume for some reason)... so of course I had to dive right in! So far so good, typical Burroughsian 'chaotic jumble that might make more sense later.' He wrote this right after my favorite The Wild Boys and it really shows in the style. Off to a great start.

Paraph 826 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) finished stephen king's doctor sleep. i wasn't sure what to expect, i had pretty high expectations given the shining but it was actually pretty enjoyable. i liked it a lot, apart from the numerous and seemingly forced nods to current pop culture. now i'm excited to see the film next year. about to start normal by warren ellis.
