Darth Krawlie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Only thing I don't like about it is how it seems about 90% of all lists and recommendations are aimed at teenage girls. Nothing wrong with books like that, just not exactly what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashmere Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 I can totally see that now that you mention it. I usually get my recommendations here or from other friends, so I've never really payed attention to the recommendations there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah I don't really either. At this point I mostly use it to look up books recommended to me to see if it's something I'd want to read. It'd be nice if I could get a little more out of it than that, but I'm not worried about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Imma drop a post here to reserve my spot. If nothing else, so you can all laugh at me about how I work for a publishing company, and yet do not have the time to read like I used to. Adulting, man.

Guest Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wow, 5 books already and with 2 little ones at home. That's awesome!Reading is like the only thing that I can currently do that calms me or makes me feel human. Plus I still drive 70 miles a day (1 more week left!) so I have time for audiobooks.

Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What's it about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It's about life and organized crime on an Indian reservation. The most interesting parts weren't the main storyline, but the commentary on Native American life, both currently and through history. But the main story is pretty great too. Basically, guy comes back to the rez after being gone for 20ish years, as an undercover FBI agent trying to bring down the tribe's chief and resident crime lord.

NumberSix Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 1. Joseph Maddrey & Lance Henriksen, Not Bad for a Human. The biography of character actor Lance Henriksen that contains so many lengthy, unedited quotes from him that it might as well be labeled autobiography. Covering the decades from his impoverished, nomadic upbringing to his NYC Method-acting stage days to his biggest moment in Aliens to his starring role in TV's Millennium to the dozens of direct-to-video crapfests he's done sine then. Along the way he shared a lot of memorable times with better known actors, felt his share of heartbreak, and didn't learn how to read till he was 30. The author cares way more about the zero-value obscurities in his back catalog than I do, but every so often Henriksen tosses out another weird moment or off-the-cuff thought that makes this a bit different from the usual bland tell-alls. (Fun trivia: Oliver Reed was kind of disgusting.) 2. Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, et al., Fables v. 21: Happily Ever After. The penultimate volume in the series, which was published at roughly the same time the creator found himself roasted alive on social media and lost some fans after conduct unbecoming at a "Women Comics Characters" convention panel. The long-running fairy-tales-in-today's-world series that Once Upon a Time basically ripped off legally remains fascinating on its own if you ignore the giant asterisk hanging over it now.
