"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."

Possibly the best opening line from any book I've ever read. Halfway through and loving every minute.

Still deciding if I wanna pull the trigger on that animated Elf with legs out stuck in a sack thing.

Head On by John Scalzi. Fun sci-fi police story.

A few months ago, I finally got to Face the Master on screen.

Tomorrow, I start the book.

I think Salems Lot might be his scariest and best novel.

All around the same time, the simultaneous collapse of all major civilizations outside of the New World from multiple causes.

The Long Walk is my favorite. Many books and movies have used a similar premise (only one survives), but only Bachman (King) had the balls to tell it honestly. There is no banding together or rising up to defeat the system. It’s a dark story told honestly, with no cheats or outs for anyone.

I did like the Long Walk. The book about the school shooter and then eminent domain terrorist are a little harder to read now. But nothing else he has written hits me as hard as those those nails at the window and the whispered Let me in..

I’ve been all over the place book-wise for a while.
Probably easier to post screen grabs.

I'm wanting to read a book about 536 CE, the so-called worst year ever for humans. The little Ice Age, Volcanoc Winter, crop failures, plague, fall of Rome, the start of the Viking raids; all around fun stuff.

After proposing that I thought 1971 was the best year in rock history, a friend suggested I read Never a Dull Moment. It is about how 1971 is the best year in music and it's hard to argue. Some of the best bands put out their best albums- The Who, Who's Next; Led Zeppelin ,IV; Funkadelic, Maggot Brain; Carol King, Tapestry; Marvin Gay, What's Goin' On... just to the tip of the iceberg! The book is decently written but not a Pulitzer prize winner. Still a good read if your a big music fan.

Was Black Sabbath’s “Master of Reality” mentioned? It came out in ‘71.
