    "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century" by Timothy Snyder (2017)

    A short treatise (126 pages) that is even more relevant today in 2020. I plan to keep a copy of it on the end table next to my bed.

    Just started Of Foster Homes and Flies by Chad Lutzke

    Highly recommend this indie horror author. Haven't read much by him but what I have read has been amazing.

    You need to read Stirring the Sheets by him if you haven't yet. It's just as phenomenal.

    The Magians trilogy by Lev Grossman. It's a re-read, already on the last book. Quite enjoying it the second time around. I'm sad there are only the three.

    Finally got around to If It Bleeds. I just finished the third novella, the one with Holly. I have really enjoyed all three so far. I kind of feel like Holly's story is made up of some excised parts from a fuller version of The Outsider.

    It was pretty much The Outsider II. The only one I enjoyed was the first one. Felt like classic King.

    I thought 1, 3 and 4 were really solid stories. I appreciated 2 as King trying something a bit unusual and different, but I don't think it quite came together.

    It's been many years since I last read it. I only remember bits and pieces of it.

    Almost like reading it for the first time.

    I've never been that big into poetry, but I've been reading a huge collection of Charles Bukowski poetry and I have to say, most of them are pretty damn good.

    I'm not big into poetry either. I do love Bukowski though.

    I decided to do an entire reread of The Dark Tower series.

    I've read certain books from the series more than once, but never the whole series from start to finish since my first read back in 2007. I'm on Wastelands right now and have to say I'm enjoying the second journey way more than I anticipated.

    Wow, that's a massive undertaking/commitment!

    I read the series back in 2008/2009 but haven't revisited it (unless you count reading The Wind Through the Keyhole when it came out). It's just so daunting, especially when there's so many other books I haven't read yet--both King and non-King. The Wastelands is one of my favorites, though, so I'm glad you're enjoying it.

    I figured I would cover that as they arose in my general chronological re-read of most of King, but that is taking too long, so I may need to do a 1-7 re-read...but I would not look forward to that at all; the fact is, I may never be able to push myself to do it.

    I've done it on audio, and it was quite enjoyable.
