Just finished The Cabin At The End Of The World and I don't know how I feel about it. I didn't not like it but I just don't know. Are there other Tremblay books I should give a shot? Now starting The Bird Eater by Ania Ahlborn. She's 3/3 with me and I'm hoping the streak continues.
The general consensus seems to be that A Head Full of Ghosts is his best work.

A Head Full of Ghosts is excellent, definitely recommend checking it out. I also loved Cabin. It's such a heartbreaking story, and as you reflect on it you might grow to appreciate it more.I'll put Head Full Of Ghosts on my to read list and I'll be digesting Cabin for a bit.

It's a limited from Cemetery Dance. You'd probably have more luck finding a used copy. I'm not normally one to suggest getting an eBook but shipping on this baby will cost you more than the book. It's a big one. This is the cheapest it's ever been: https://www.amazon.ca/Dark-Advent-Br...4378146&sr=8-1Man I can’t even buy dark Advent in Nova Scotia at chapters... where did you get your copy?

Enjoy, it's a good one.
Got me a hard copy cheap on eBay($25), arrived today. It is a couple notches down on the read list but that was the reason I got one.
I use Audible and it is not available there. That is why I grabbed it.

Yes sir. Took me a bit getting used to his writing style. I only read the book of the new sun of the solar cycle and loved it! You are in for a ride ! I need to track down the other books one day...
"George" by Alex Gino. A sweet and poignant YA or middle-grade I guess book about a girl who everyone else sees as a boy. Definitely hits me in the stupid feels a whole lot. Perfect reading for these pandemicky times.
So ... yes, they are very good. But they are ... unusual. The writing style has a somewhat detached quality to it, and the plot is not straightforward. I would recommend you try it, but I can't predict whether you will enjoy it.
You should absolutely read them. Both series are fantastic. Short Sun is extraordinary.

Jack Vance - The Dirdir
That is a dear, dear book.
You can't go wrong with Vance.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Indeed. Such fun adventures. I think I like Adam Reith more than Rialto the self-serving dickhead. I picked up the Planet of Adventure omnibus, Demon Princes omnibus and The Complete Lyonesse.That is a dear, dear book.
You can't go wrong with Vance.
I tried reading that tribute to Vance from Subterranean but his style is hard to imitate.
Just finished The Bird Eater and Ania Ahlborn is 4/4 with me. It didn't quite reach the heights of her other books I read so far but I did enjoy it overall. Now reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It's been awhile since I've read these books and I've never read the whole series one after the other so it should be fun as long as I don't forget my towel.
Don’t panic.
