Friday Night Book Haul 📚

And ohhhh lemme tell ya I picked up some goodies today!

  1. Flowers for Algernon - I think @freakonaleash said this was his favorite book. Anyways bro just want to let you know I thought of you when I got home and looked at the cover.

  2. Sirens of Titan - by Kurt Vonnegut. This one I’ve already read. It’s probably my favorite book of all time. So finding a used copy was pretty sweet.

  3. Radio Free Albemuth - This book sounds just as bizarre as the title. It’s sort of a hard to find gem by the great Sci-fi author Philip K. Dick.

  4. What We Talk About When We Talk About Love - Short stories by Raymond Carver.

This is Montezuma’s message of the day. :nerd_face: :clap: :v: :books:

Take care!

Thank you @MissJennyJen! I’ve read the ending to it is kind of disturbing, is that true?

Disturbing I can see why, for one of the other characters as well. Don’t want to ruin it for ya though!

@ZombiePupper Very cool!

For fantasy you might like Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin and Peter Beagle’s the Last Unicorn. I still haven’t read these but they pop up a lot in searches for ‘greatest sci fi/fantasy novels.’

For science fiction I highly recommend Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick.

@MissJennyJen Thank you! Some people like spoilers but not I. Ha!

I think I’m referring to the film Charly. I used to see it every once in a while on TV, before the advent of cable. Channels 2 4 5 7 9 11 13. And rabbit ears for an antenna.

Doing pretty well, working a lot. Have you been doing ok?

Yeah, I saw the movie from 1968, but the book is way better. You lose a lot with the movie. And I mean a lot.

Right on. Happy to hear you’re well.

I had a sort of rough past week but thankfully things have finally settled down.

Now I’m just chilling and cruising the net.
