Rob,
Nice review of Claw of the Conciliator!

But this bugged me:



BRO IT WAS YEARS! Straight up YEARS, fam. Lol.

I am really glad you’ve lived the books so far, though. Can’t wait to read the next review.

HAHAHHAHHAHHA. it was YEARS! time flies time flies.......

celebrating last weekened early for my birthday and my wife gifted me this holy grail of Star Trek Deep Space Nine collectibles. This book was written by Andrew Robinson who played garak on DS9, and it is awesome, and out of print like a mafk, and rare, and it goes on ebay for $60-90 and my wife managed to find the very last copy held by Texas half price books for only $4.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck I am a book nerd.

that photo... he must have massive jowls because that’s a huge effort to hide them. the hand , the shade... photoshop would look more natural :D

Finished the “His Dark Materials” series, and now I’m reading the sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale” that just came our - “The Testaments.”

Honestly I’m enjoying it more than Handmaid, which I respect conceptually, but don’t particularly love in terms of style and flow. Quite a pretentious tone, to be honest. I vastly prefer the (also sometimes pretentious) show to the book, but Testaments is written much differently. More in the style of a political thriller. Still plenty of guessing and uncertainty, but more direct and clips right along at a smooth and satisfying pace.

Also it has this whole Trump thing to kind of indirectly lean on as reference material. I’m enjoying it.

Finished up some B&N pairing of The Time Machine and The Invisible Man. I'm 2 books away from my 20 book goal for 2019. I'll potentially go over :D

Finished Volume 1 of The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, by Drunvalo Melchizedek.

because "Briefing For A Descent Into Hell" isn't presently burning my eyes in joy at the spot I'm at, I decided to start in to a fresh read of "The Hardcore Diaries" by Mick Foley.

You ever finish BOTNS?
