Has anyone else read this, or anything else by this guy? I picked this up after reading a quick blurb about a group of authors writing a genre called “new weird”. Holy shite guys. If sci-fi, steampunk, world building, fantasy, political commentary, and just straight-up strange interests you, this is ...

The Apache attack where McCarthy describes the legion of horribles is one of the greatest pieces of literature I've ever read. [quote]A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk...
[quote]Are you going to want to ski? [/quote] No, we just wanted snow for both the kids to play in and for the scenery. I think it would be a cool vibe to have thanksgiving dinner in a cabin surrounded by snow. ...
Hi travel board, We’ve got the idea that for Thanksgiving this year, we’d like to fly out somewhere snowy, possibly rent a cabin for a week, and just let our young boys (4 and 2) experience snow. I was thinking somewhere in Colorado or even Montana, but I wouldn’t rule anywhere out. Do any...
He's my favorite author. I've read The Road, No Country, Outer Dark, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Blood Meridian, and The Passenger. I probably enjoyed ATPH the most of the two I've read from the Border Trilogy. The cowboy romanticism and humor were top notch. I also REALLY enjoyed...

This has to be the second or third time I've seen an interview with Sai'vion where he just doesn't understand the question asked. I think its hilarious because the questions are stupid and cookie-cutter anyway. ...
Out of all that, the thing that caught my attention the most was " We will use Nabors differently this year than we did last". What are we thinking here?...

I just wanted to chime in to say that we've got the exact same thought process as OP. Hell, we spend almost 5k in Orange Beach Goddamn Alabama. When the youngest ( 8mos) is a few years older, we will for sure be looking international....

Calories in crawfish stew?

I’m tracking my calories and want to log crawfish stew. Am I correct in assuming around 300 calories per cup of stew only? It’s your average Cajun crawfish stew....

Thoughts on Nick Harkaway?

Posted by thedrumdoctor on 3/22/23 at 1:45 pm
Anyone read any of his work? (Gnomon, The Gone-Away World, Angelmaker) His father was well-known author John Le Carre. Anyway, he's got a new novel coming out in May that I'm excited about. He seems to be relatively under the radar, but he's becoming one of my favorite authors....
[quote]Time to start tracking intake. [/quote] Track it religiously. This is the first time I've tracked every single thing I consume. I'm talking the handful of raspberries that I munch on when I pass by the fridge ( 15 cal). I'm honestly surprised every time I get on the scale, it's like its m...
