This was so great, can't believe it took me this long to read it

I 100% agree

A+

This one made me double take

A fun teen read. Alternate history, Nazi experiments, and a motorcycle race all add up to an engaging worldbuilding book where the mission is to KILL HITLER!

The Moist Von Lipwig books in the Discworld series are among the best and after being more familiar with the world they're like ice cream after a restaurant meal

Went to the downtown bookstore in Red Wing, MN almost 2 years ago and the owner gave me this book for free since it was my first time in. Well he totally nailed it because this book was great and I wouldn't have read it without being handed it.

Here's the rest of the summer reading stack

Hey sorry for the absence but here I am again. This book surprised me and it was enthralling and fun

Couldn't put this one down. Hypnotizing and disorienting, really feels like Gene Wolfe in the best way. Great worldbuilding and the characters are strange and engaging.

Plot: thousands of years in the future on a desert Earth, a student travels to the capital city to take a religious test. He's then assigned to the study of the planet Bosch, an organic planet connected to a famous heretic.

Be sure and pick this up when it comes out in June!

What a trip. Amazing book but I was very confused for a lot of it due to all the Russian names. Really picks up in the second half when you are introduced to the titular characters. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.

This is one of the funniest books I have ever read. All-time great. I didn't want it to end

Another great entry in the Discworld franchise. Especially good if you can catch all the movie references and old Hollywood lore

Sometimes you start research for a project and the research takes on a life of its own

Every part of this book is great! And yet, like Wolf in White Van, it doesn't seem to coalesce into a satisfying whole. Still worth a read but don't expect things to conclude in a tidy way

Well this just made me stop in my tracks for a bit

Really cool and creepy, excited to see what happens next

Another solid entry into the Night's Watch section of Discworld. Sam Vimes might be one of my favorite literary characters

This comic is a real laugh-a-minute

Another great haul from Pilsen Community Books!

Tremendously compelling, couldn't put it down. Really claustrophobic and dystopic

Cruised through this and loved it. What a fun cast of dysfunctional characters.

What a hidden gem this book is turning out to be

Came in skeptical of the nostalgia grab, left impressed with the breakneck narrative and the fun vibe. Feels like a fun homage to Ender's Game in an odd way. Give it a chance, I couldn't put it down.

Unsettling and claustrophobic. The art is beautiful. This one will stick with me for a while

A+ comic writing right here

A fun read with a surprising amount of depth

Unsettling... but also sort of unsatisfying. Had a lot of potential but the last third really lags.

Ronald Dahl's language still crackles and pops

I was initially skeptical but this totally won me over. A simple story told simply but with some very deep truths. Lyrical and fun, give it a chance

Eventually I'll run out of Discworld books, but until then I'll keep enjoying them immensely.

No one turns a phrase quite like Pratchett

Very charming, one of the better Mark Millar books for sure

Honestly one of the better Discworld novels I've read so far.

Turns out Mrs. LeGuin and I like and especially dislike the same things (from this week's New Yorker)

Whoops I bought more books, thanks Pilsen Community Books

A wild fever dream of a graphic novel that I will think about for a long time

Blew me away. Incredible

A quick and fun read, very heartwarming and droll

"The past is in the way of the present. Kick it down, make way for right-the-fuck-now."

"Now, watching the old priest comfort the dying man in a low, musical Latin, my grandfather felt some inner tether come unlashed."

This is gonna be good

Basically the most pure Grant Morrison story about superheroes and metanarritive you can get. Trippy and fun, and the Frank Quitely artwork is about as good as comics illustration gets.

Whoops I got way too many comics from the library!

No one does a description quite like Douglas Adams. Ultimately the plot is a little too loose (admittedly intentional since the book is about an existential mystery) and there are a few parts that seem unnecessary. A great read if you're an Adams superfan

This is easily the most interesting version of Wonder Woman yet and it's a bummer it's not the official one

Solid memoir

These new covers are awesoooooome

Haven't been this blown away by a graphic novel since I read AKIRA for the first time. Seek this out. It feels like Gene Wolfe wrote a comic script and sent it to Moebius to draw.

The current stack. Gonna read something light before I dive into another Pynchon book
