I think I've said this before but grindy is tedious and annoying af.

True.

The Other Side of the Mountain by Michel Bernanos.
Pretty damn cool and somewhat obscure weird fiction from the sixties. It's also quite short so give it a try. Part one is pretty normal yet interesting but part two cranks up the weirdness.

Great opening sentence: "The suburbs dream of violence."


Want to read this some day. I liked his Glenn Gould novel

At a local Satanist luncheon hosted at the national headquarters of The Center For Inquiry this weekend, I was approached by a fellow CFI member who said he'd picked up something for me that he hoped I'd enjoy based on the wardrobe I've routinely sported at other local events.

He gifted me The Art of Steampunk by Art Donovan - the fellow who curated the now legendary Steampunk exhibit at the Museum of the History of Science at Oxford University.

It was a thoughtful and unexpected gift and I enjoyed it very much.

I need another book. What should it be?

Blood Meridian. I second the Bataille as well.
