Am reading 'The gallows pole' by Ben Myers. I really loved 'A perfect golden circle' and this one seems even better
Ah it’s great, he lives on the next street and it’s set round here, hopefully the shane meadows TV adaptation makes it to screens and is up to scratch…
Oh wow! I didn't even know there was something in the works... Shane Meadows is a perfect fit I think!! 'A perfect golden circle was set in my old stomping ground and I knew a lot of hippy travellers at that time too, it was like stepping back in time!
Yeah hopefully it’ll make it out, I think it was supposed to emerge last autumn but there’s rumours of budget trouble, they shot it all a while back now…
Cool!

Johnny Cash bio, in audiobook format.
Reading on Kindle: 33 Meditations on Death, a moving and thoughtful book about the process of dying by a geriatrician.
Reading on paper: Dead Lions, the second novel in Mick Herron’s excellent trashing/updating of the landscape staked out by Le Carre, swapping public school toffs and Oxbridge dons for modern chancers, slobs, and fuckups, the ‘slow horses’ of spying, exiled to a dead end office in the hope they’ll leave, and blundering into serious spy shit anyway. Funny, and sharp, currently being incarnated very well by Gary Oldman as the anti-Smiley boss, Jackson Lamb, in the Apple TV version…
On Audible: my most guilty pleasure, Dead Beat, a Harry Dresden novel, read superbly by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy), being the ongoing adventures of a Philip Marlow style private detective, sort of, in contemporary (well, 1990s) Chicago, who is also an actual freaking wizard, and whose adversaries mix n match gun toting hoodlums, necromancers, and vampires. It’s ridiculous, funny, played entirely straight, and gripping. I’m in it for the entire long haul, this is my - sixth? Seventh? - so far. Superb stuff!
I have re-entered the Bobiverse and am now working trough the 3rd book. Initial plot: Guy gets cryo-frozen after his death and wakes up as an exploration drone "AI" and is supposed to save humanity by going to the stars. Many fun little story lines. The whole series feels like fan service to me. I love it. I guess you could call it [hard(ish)-sci-fi-at-times] meets space-opera.
We are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor is the first book of the series.
Oh yes, that one was interesting too
I've been on a WWII audiobook streak after a James Bond audiobook streak. On the latter, I was surprised at how fast the novels go. Very entertaining.
I just finished Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell, lovely reimagining of late sixties music scene through the eyes of a band put together by a visionary young Canadian in swinging London… one of those books you want to keep reading forever…
Raymond Carver - What we talk about when we talk about love, english version.
It is a collection of ultra short stories. Mostly with an abrupt ending. So you keep wondering. Sometimes this is pretty frustrating, and sometimes it is pure beauty.
It is a thin book, when I have finished this,The Brothers Karamazov from Dostoevsky (dutch translation) is waiting for me, that is my book for my holiday in Italy (where it is 45 degrees at the moment.... plenty of time to read).
It’s a stunning book. I keep returning to it. I find the abrupt stops in narrative very effective. You’re nudged towards the full story, rather than given it all.
Solaris by Stanisław Lem, masterpiece.
Yes it is for sure, I really grow into it. I need to get his other books too. I found Carver because Haruki Murakami says he is influenced a lot by Carver. I have read some short stories from Murakami but I like his longer stories much more. Carver is different, his short stories are weird too, but still real.
A very good collection of short stories called
The Half-Mammals Of Dixie by George Singleton. Singleton is from my hometown, but a couple of years older. Ever since my teens, mutual friends would say some variation on “You need to meet George. You guys would get along great”
I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but I love his mastery of blackly comic southern lit. It’s all about the grotesques.
After this, it will be time for my annual reread of Madame Bovary.
poor silly woman…
That is such a fantastic collection.
Right on. I actually have that condition as well. I like to close my eyes and use my attention to visualize what they are saying. I’ll admit I’ve done exactly what you described before, but I just go back a page or 2. I feel like the visualizing really helps, cause it keeps me focused on creating a mental image of everything that is being read.
Say more.
The hippest extension of a G7 chord are the b9 (Ab), #9 (Bb), #11 (C#) and 13(E).
Add these extension to the G7 and you get this scale:
G-Ab-Bb-B-C#-D-E-F-G it’s what you wrote but missing that 3rd (B).
As a scale it’s the diminished scale which is a half-whole pattern that repeats 4 times over and octave.
Learn this scale in its 3 possible forms and you’ve always got something hip for any 7th chord.
There are many great videos on YouTube that teach excellent approaches to jazz improvisation and connect the ideas immediately to examples.
Well it's one of most famous sci-fi books, they made two films out of it. It follows a crew of scientists on a research station as they attempt to understand an extraterrestrial intelligence, which takes the form of a vast ocean on the titular alien planet. If you like science fiction novels, I think it's a must-read.
From the same author I also read and liked "The Invincible".
Thank you. It is now on my wishlist.
I studied Great Literature for three years. Turned me off it for life. I have only ever read fun books since. I’m currently working my way, on audiobook, through all of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. They motivate me to get my fat retired arse off the couch for my daily constitutional.
Neo-noir, except the detective is an actual freaking wizard, taking on wicked fairies, vampires, werewolves and other supernatural nasties on the very real streets of 1990s/2000s Chicago.
It takes its world building seriously, and everything else with classic pulp detective snark. It’s gritty, funny, exciting, and, as narrated superbly by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy), Harry Dresden is the hero I never knew I needed. It’s brilliant stuff.

For actual books: currently The Annotated Alice (everything, and I do mean everything, you ever wanted to know about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland), and Wild Cards, a discursive card by card approach to Tarot reading.
Anyone who likes their books to be surreal might enjoy Boris Vian's l'Ecume des Jours (Froth on the Daydream in English translation).
A perfect golden circle sounds good, stuck it on my audible wish list
My favourite music related books are, The inner game of music by Barry green and the the creative act by Rick Rubin. Both brilliant.
This kind of counts , I hope since it’s sold as an audiobook:
I have been listening to an old timey radio show named Escape. Seems like it’s mostly radio play adaptations of short stories that are disturbing or surreal.
I even heard one that someone had mentioned in a forum but could not remember the name of (Country Of The Blind).
Some might like “ A Visit from the Goon Squad” by Jennifer Egan as it centers around the music biz.

Thanks for the nudge on this.
I started House of Leaves over a year ago and never really made headway on it as life got in the way. But I’m about to start it over and finish it this time. I’m looking forward to it.
GMTA!
I just started it. Only 20 pages in, but enjoying it immensely.
