This book takes a while to get into and it hits much harder when you know the artist but for the artists and topics that you feel connected to I feel like it can show you a lot.
Very good drunk gruff old man stories that I think would have been exciting in a column but too much Bukowski at once is probably bad for the soul.
I listened to the audiobook of Pale Blue Dot. The book was great, for as long as Carl Sagan read it, but his audiofiles have been corrupted and lost. A couple hours into the book Ann Druyan takes over - who has a real passion for the content but has no business reading audiobooks. It was pretty brutal to listen to.
This was amazing and revolutionary for me. Sometimes books open your eyes to things and sometimes it just feels like they blow your mind wide open. Lot of conflict thoughts associated with this book but rarely do I highlight a book 72 times either.
I haven't been this taken and lost in a book in so long. I couldn't stop reading it. It was wonderful in every way.
Susanna Clarke does so much with so little all the time.
the most important thing I got from this book was when Hemmingway said a guy looked like he was from the 90s and he meant the 1890s.
Probably my favourite book to date. Definitely my favourite character in any book i've read.
This is one of the most inspiring, eye opening, and helpful books I've ever read. It's also just really funny, beautiful and moreish. I could recommend to anyone even vaguely interested in a comic book or even if you hate them and need a new point of view.
It is a sad coincidence that the day I finish my first of Didion's books, only a few days after discovering what a master of prose she is, is the day she dies. Joan was amazing in this. It's sad I will never be able to read something ‘new' by her but comforting that I have her whole catalogue still to go through. Rest in Peace Joan.
This was amazing. By far the best audiobook I've ever read/listened to. I would HIGHLY recommend the audiobook - Ray Porter kills it. They also do such a cool thing with the audiobook that I would argue it works better here than it would as text.
This came with high recommendations from my whole family. I finally caved when my sister said it might be her favourite book of all time. I think it might be one of mine as well.
Like watching a series of planet earth but your eyes are closed the whole time and the animals mean nothing because they've been dead for millions of years
Like The Last of Us set in a plague ridden France but the plague is actually the consequence of hell's lead in a holy war with heaven. Can't really sell it better than that. It even reads like a video game with the serialised monster encounters.
The most inspiring demonstration of art in graphic novels I've ever seen. Mastery is visible on every page.
