Finished reading: The Hobbit, Or, There and Back Again by J. R. R. Tolkien 📚

Listened to the audiobook narrated by Andy Serkis, which I think made it much more enjoyable than when I read it in print 20+ years ago. Highly recommend.

Finished reading: Different Seasons: Four Novellas by Stephen King 📚

This dude is so prolific and so fun to read. I would like to write things that are fun to read.

Finished reading: The Brilliant Abyss: Exploring the Majestic Hidden Life of the Deep Ocean, and the Looming Threat That Imperils It by Helen Scales 📚

Finished reading: Star Trek: Discovery: Succession by Kirsten Beyer 📚

I honestly don’t know how anyone is left living in the Terran Empire. Mirror Universe stuff stresses me out. But Discovery Annual #1 is chef’s kiss. Seeing how Paul and Hugh meet? 😍

Finished reading: Star Trek: Discovery - The Light of Kahless by Mike Johnson 📚

Finished reading: The Dead Zone by Stephen King 📚

I love the way King has characters reference his own other work. “Like in that book, Carrie!”

Another, as W. puts it, compulsively readable book. A little chilling in its political prescience, really.

Finished reading: Carrie by Stephen King 📚

I don’t recall the last time I read a book inside of 24 hours.

Finished reading: Borderland edited by Terri Windling and Mark Alan Arnold 📚

The beginnings of woodland goth. I love it, of course.

Finished reading: The Puzzler: One Man’s Quest to Solve the Most Baffling Puzzles Ever, from Crosswords to Jigsaws to the Meaning of Life by A.J. Jacobs 📚

Great fun with some good insights for the rest of life, not just puzzles.

Finished reading: The Bloody Chamber: And Other Stories: 75th-Anniversary Edition (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) by Angela Carter 📚

New (well, ~40 year old) takes on old fairytales. Gorgeous language.
