Late update, since I finished this a while ago. But it was great! The book has a good mix of characters, world building, and mystery-driven plot. In sci-fi fashion, it has some big ideas it wants to share, but it doesn‘t hit you over the head with them, and the tone is never pompous or preachy. I believe this is the author‘s first novel, so I‘m excited to see where he goes next. #scifi #novel

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read much fiction, much less *new* fiction. Here‘s one I managed to pick up from the library before it shut down for the month. So far, I‘m liking it. It has a good mix of sci-fi, mystery, and religion.

What a doozie! As far as “bad” books go, this one was probably the most enjoyable. It has a childlike innocence that‘s earnest and lovable. I hate to even give it a rating, because it‘s not even on the same playing field as other books I read. But it‘s definitely not worth the Amazon price if you‘re just curious about it. #372pages

I was interested in this since I saw The Room, but the backstory is even crazier than I imagined. If you‘ve seen The Disaster Artist movie, then you probably know what to expect. There is so much more information in the book though. Tommy is revealed to be even more bizarre and unhinged than you could have expected. It‘s a fascinating story. The audiobook is great too.

Great prose. Still at the beginning, but loving it so far.

Finally reading this book. It‘s one of those books I keep seeing referenced and quoted, so it‘s time to see what the buzz is all about.

Fun and clever. Worth reading if you‘re a fan of the show. The art is great too.

Been on a MST3K kick, so I decided to download its new comic through my library. It‘s pretty fun so far!

For a 500+ page history book, this is surprisingly quick to read. A lot of topics are painted in broad strokes and simplified, but that‘s what you should expect from a book with such a massive breadth of information. It comes with suggestions for further reading on each chapter. Highly recommended for anyone interested on church history! (Pic taken of the final page.)

Of *course* they would put a Star Wars reference in the Willow book. #372Pages

Just got my copy of Shadow Moon to read along with the #372Pages podcast. It‘s a comedy podcast about reading books that we (probably) won‘t enjoy. Let‘s see what I‘ve gotten myself into...

Mahatma_Canejeeves I‘ve loved the hilarious comments they had about other books they‘ve read. Looking forward to this. 4y

Seventh century nun thugs! “Nice scriptorium you got there. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it...”

I meditated on that lost maze: I imagined it inviolate and perfect at the crest of the mountain; I imagined it erased by rice fields or beneath the water; I imagined it infinite, no longer composed of octagonal kiosks and returning paths, but of rivers and provinces and kingdoms... I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future and in some way involve the stars.
