That looks intense

I remember trying to read Chomsky in highschool. That was not an easy task.

I just started reading the lord of the rings. I havent read this one in forever and after a Hobbit movie marathon picked it up from the library. I did some background research and found out JRR Tolkien was deeply religious and a troop during ww1. Who knew?

Just finished:

As much as i love true crime this is my first time delving into reading the classics. Send me your recommendations, the more grisly the better tbh.

For blood and guts it’s hard to beat Bundy as subject matter.

Her book on the I-5 Killer is good and those crime files compilations are creepy too

Some of those stories about very non-theatrical serial killers spooked me on super empty restrooms for life. Like on the coast off season almost nobody out there. Dude waits for hours for his victim. Gun that can’t be traced to the killer. Anther dude going for a piss before clearing his head on an empty shoreline takes a bullet to the back of the head instead. It used to be that was an almost unsolvable crime. I’ve always enjoyed making the nature scene solo. Bears gators snakes poisonous bugs all that **** - yeah - bumping into another old fart, **** that. Creepy mother****ers going solo.

Cool I'll add it to the list. Did you read I'll Be Gone in the Dark?

No.

Have you? If so is it real good?

Have you ever tried reading about really horrible things that happened in war?

Some of those books are gratuitous in a similar way.

It is good. I finished it a couple days before JJD was arrested, so that was pretty surreal. There wasn't much new information I got from it, but Michelle is a great writer and it was really beautifully done, though maybe I'm just sentimental for the dead.

No, I haven't read many books about war atrocities outside of Vonnegut and history classes.

I pegged you for a fantasy nerd.. I died a little just now. :(

Harry Potter nerd, but more of a sci fi nerd than fantasy.

Jesus! He was a whole company of soldiers? That's impressive! :laughing:
