The 2020 Book Club Thread Strikes Back!

Finished The Devil All The Time, very much enjoyed it. I plan on watching the Netflix movie adaptation of it sometime next week if I get the chance, it looks interesting. Next up I will be reading The Body Snatchers.

 

Just finished The Body Snatchers. It was decent, but nothing special. Next up; Requiem for a Dream.

 

September month i finished:

Marco Polo - Il milione
Lao Tzu - Tao te king
and some text from the Upanisad.

October I will read: Nikita Romanov/Robert Payne: Ivan IV
Giordano Bruno - Il candelaio
and maybe something else

 

Finished reading Requiem for a Dream. Enjoyed it a lot, a powerful and depressing dive into addiction and human suffering. Next, Silence by Japanese author Shūsaku Endō.

 

Finished reading Silence. Another great book that explored the concept of suffering, albeit through a completely different lens. Next up, going to take a break from novels and read volume one of Punisher MAX.

 

Finished Punisher MAX volume one. Now going to read a book that collects two short story collections by horror author Thomas Ligotti, Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe.

 

Honestly I just forgot about this thread completely, probably will just post in the writing thread if I have anything worth mentioning.
