"To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?"
My responses:
Currently reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch and Sashenka by Simon Montefiore.
Most recently finished reading The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman.
Next up: The Dark Side of the Earth by Alfred Bester. (No, not that one.)
On hold: Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt by Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco.
Should you generally be interested in my reading material, I log everything because I'm a nerd that way.
In other news, I miss

So that's bad too. (a side note - he was so pissed off at a Joe Lansdale story that was basically "black people get chased down and killed by white rednecks" that he wrote Bloodbath at Landsdale Towers which is the first story I read by him - the white people don't fare very well in it - in fact, some reviewers called the story overtly preachy which is weird. I thought it was hilarious.)
I was thinking about thsi when watching Django Unchained. Particularly Samuel Jackson's Uncle Tom character who is a different person depending on who is around him. It was cool writing that managed to use those cliches and comment on them at the same time.
