I started this this morning and didn‘t budge until I finished it. What a read, what a force of nature. #elizabethtaylor #kateandersenbrower #oldhollywood #glamour #icon #philanthropist #activist

Dead and the Dying | Ed Brubaker

If I'd read John Singleton's introduction while picking up this book at the library, I'd have put it down again, as he makes it sound ickyly seedy & exploitative. As it was, I almost didn't bother reading it, but I'm glad I did in the end, as it was better than the sales pitch made it sound. Three interlinked noir chapters advance the violent story from three perspectives, using flashbacks and flashforwards. It's a pretty dark 3.5 ⭐

Bookwomble I also picked up a compilation of Lalo Schifrin's jazzy film themes today, including Mission Impossible, The Man From UNCLE, Bullitt and Dirty Harry, which was a pretty good soundtrack for the GN 🖤

I enjoyed this on the whole, but I'm not sure if I'll read the rest of the series.

Great star trek rpg read! Granted its mostly about lawbreakers instead of law enforcement, but it's still valid for the second generation of star trek rpg. Right now I'm on the thieves chapter.

The Age of Bowie | Paul Morley
post image

Twitter post often attributed to Simon Pegg, but original source was somebody else.
“If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.”
