Started reading Empire of Silence. About a 100 pages in. Main character is sorta whiny and melodramatic
I've had that on my wishlist for a minute but I just never pulled the triggerFinished: Titanium Noir
It took me a min to catch the rhythm but once I got settled in, it was a pretty straightforward and easy read. Straight up detective noir in a cyber-noir setting with a few sci-fi elements. Lil mini twist @ the end but want shoe-horned or outrageous or anything.
I got a bunch but I will probably fit it in after a dark book.
'd in with Apt Pupil from the latter. Slow descent into unrecognizable madness or evil obviously gets done a lot these days but no one does it quite like the 
. It was like reading an intense 
match, watching 2 mfs serve until one get the upper hand. For whatever reason, shyt reminded me of the Willie The Weirdo (YLID) short story but without the supernatural element. Both have them same vibes of coming across a depraved "understudy" they entertain/nurture instead of shutting down til shyt hits da fan. 
Also reading The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation. If you're familiar at all with the dawn of computers these are the guys who created telephone line repeaters, transistors, vacuum tubes, even laying wire under the sea that eventually was harnessed by the internet. A lot of amazing engineering that all led to the modern computer age.
Started this ..got to the part where he was in his first day at the reformatory..and just lost interest .. wasn’t bad or boring .,I just stopped caring..gonna pick it back up at some pointThis was not "scary" or anything by any means, but at the same time, finishing it up super late at night then having your self-vacuuming robot runnin' into your door at 2am do you no favors after reading about "haints" & shyt
Anyways, at 570 pages, this one took me a min---especially gettin' thru the first 100 pages or so. Due is real methodical in setting the stage, and the pacing gets interrupted at times with the POV back & forth, but I can appreciate the "mirroring" of the two sibling and whatnot. This is not traditional horror at all. No jump scares, no "I got to turn away because it's too gory" kind of scenes. It's more along the lines of slow burning, Southern Gothic, historical horror. I liked the nod to real life historical events thru ole girl's premonitions or whatever. All in all, it was a good read.
slurs and depictions in it. Despite the white male rage, I couldn't put the book down much like when I read The Long Walk. I know that it is being readapted to a movie that is going to be more book accurate and I can't see them using the book's ending but who knows
