Tag: Verner Vinge

It has been quite a nice day! 57 degrees and a sunny day out. I’m just starting to get this WordPress blog going.

I’ve started to write my review of Cunning Folk by Adam Nevill. This is the second book that I’ve read by this author (the first one was The Reddening). I also watched “The Ritual” on Netflix and enjoyed it. An early summation of Cunning Folk… It is well worth the read. I enjoyed it immensely.

I’m also about 5 chapters into Verner Vinge’s A Fire Upon the Deep. This one is rather on the long side for me, but I’m intending to read it while going through some of my magazine subscriptions and maybe even some books on history. I’m usually OK on keeping track of storylines between books I’m reading in parallel, except when they are in the same genre – then it’s anyone’s guess if I’m going to confuse the two story-lines. I’m certain this is my age taking its toll.

Good news on the Patreon front – Lovecraft e-Zine just released a free PDF copy of Old Waythscope’s Quarterly Concern – Vol. 1, Issue 1 for all Patreon’s contributing $10 a month or more. I’ll try my best to review this in the next week or so. I figured the folks at Waythscope’s were kind enough to donate their first issue to the e-Zine readers its the least I can do to give it a read and review. More info on this quarterly almanac can be found here Old Waythscope’s Quarterly Concern.
