Piranesi is so damn good

I have about an hour left in the audiobook Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King. This was a very pleasant surprise for me. Just the title alone, I wasn't sure that it was something I would want to read, but I'm so glad I did. I didn't realize the title was talking about the card game (I guess like spades?). This book had me feeling so much nostalgia of growing up and my college years. It was to the point that i was actually feeling depressed missing my childhood and dealing with my daughter going into her senior year of high school. I love the way he wrote this book. The short story that deals with Vietnam was a tough section, I feel for all those that were involved. But definitely recommend the book (audiobook was awesome!).

I'm 40 pages into it and loved how it has started, but little happening at the moment, so hoping it gets good soon. Have heard great things about it so definitely subscribed

Henry IV, Part 2 by William Shakespeare

Completed: The Randolph Carter Tales by HP Lovecraft - a collection of his stories that involve, you guessed it, Randolph Carter. I enjoyed it and I appreciated that I had to look up a few words, though the prose gets a little cumbersome at times and some of the twists seem a little trite to a modern reader. Worth the read, though I probably won't revisit these stories.

My wife had read this and loved it. Reading the description and it sounds like Clive Barker's Imajica or Weaveworld. Two incredible books. Still so disappointing that he just flat out quit writing so many years ago.

I loved Weaveworld and The Great and Secret Show when I was a kid. I read Imajica as well just don't remember it as much for whatever reason. Agree, wish he would have written more.

Just finished Theo of Golden! What an amazing book!!! Highly recommend!

He just up and decided he would be a painter instead. He wrote a book about a decade(?) ago about this demon traveling through the circles of hell and it was terrible. Haven't seen anything since granted I haven't gone out of my way to look.

Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary by RC Sproul. Very quick read.

Pinquickle's Folly (book 1, The Buccaneers) by R. A. Salvatore -- The beginning reminded me of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, it was kind of all over the place and unclear and as soon as you started to kind of get used to a character they were killed off. But, once you persevere the initial chaos, it becomes more cohesive and enjoyable. Good enough to read/listen to book 2, The Witch of Whispervale.

Just finished listening to Project Hail Mary, what a fun book. And the guy who narrated it was great.

Listened:
- Project Hail Mary

Read
- the Hobbit

Note:
- I suck at reading and would love to finish out with 12 books read this year.

For something different, I recommend The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon. Unabridged.

Henry V by William Shakespeare. Completed the Henriad. Richard II and Henry V were my favorite of the tetralogy.

Dungeon Crawler Carl
Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Listening to The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook now.

Finished my reread of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night. While it has been awhile since I watched the movie, seemingly the novel was seen as more of the suggestion to the producers of the film, at least for the last half.
