So far so good, it's nice to come across a book you think you've read before and haven't.
A STORY AND STUDY
OF MASONRY
BY
JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
[1914]
I read most of these awhile back. I should go back and read the rest at some point. I recall "Graduation Day" being a cool little vignette—more a scene than a story really, but evocative just the same. Everything's Eventual offered more of interest for me as a collection, but there's always something in King's works that amuses or intrigues or provokes thought. Still, his earliest days of writing short stories—his Night Shift days—when raw creativity was bursting from his fingertips, were his best.
Love Night Shift and was so made-up when he published Skeleton Crew, and I love that he still, every so often, releases short story collections. I've always loved the short story, and I think it maybe goes back to my pre-teens when I used to read the Pan Books of Horror edit by Herbert Van Thal. A couple of which I re-bought in the recent past to try and capture those halcyon days…
I love TMWTGG to especially the last paragraph which promises a newly and resurrected James Bond. Too bad Fleming died it would have been great to see a new era of 007 books by his hand.
Fleming hadn't even entered his 60s yet. A healthy man could have gone on writing many more Bond novels. Imagine the Moon Landing, Watergate, Vietnam, ... having somehow made it into Fleming's stories.
(1975)
Some repulsive stuff going on here.
That would have been truly great reading Bond in another era but by Fleming.
(1982)
Be careful so you don t get radicalized.
Not a chance : he's been dead for a while.
So far so good, but I think I prefer Anthony Beevor's more recent D-Day: The Battle for Normandy (published 2009) paperback edition from 2012, bought later than that though.
Both of these books have exactly the same picture on the front cover!
Both books well worth reading if you have an interest in WW2 or Operation Overlord in particular.
and
WOMEN (1978) by Charles Bukowski
ISIS and Women are not a good mix.
I know, it's an old term. It's just my silly joke!
You must read very fast! It takes me an age sometimes.
I do too, but not always books. Usually researching something that I may or may not write-up!
Which Yes tour book is this? A legendary prog-rock band to be sure!
==actually I am now reading a rock n' roll book,
Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell With the Rolling Stones, by Robert Greenfield.
"Recorded during the blazing hot summer of 1971 at Villa Nellcôte, Keith Richards's seaside mansion in southern France, Exile on Main Street has been hailed as one of the greatest rock records of all time. ... Google
Greenfield knows his Stones. He was there!
An extensive book about US history, and all the presidents, from Washington to Trump.
The Yes 50th anniversary tour book it’s pretty interesting and while it definitely has the agenda of isn’t the current lineup amazing (which I agree with) it still is really good
Yes the current lineup isnt bad. I did like the Heaven And Earth album, although Squire was still with the band then, but Yes veteran Sherwood I think was a natural replacement.
I saw him play with group in an earlier go round
He fit right in with Howe, Squire and Anderson.
