The Demon is next on the list.

Happy birthday holmes!

I just finished Last Exit to Brooklyn. It was very impressive and the subject matter pretty dark and twisted for being written in the 50s. These days, it's not going to make you cringe as much as it would have back then. It's very brutal and holds nothing back. Selby clearly was disgusted by...

In the middle of a workers strike in front of a sheet metal factory in Brooklyn in the 50s.

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold A Storm of Swords - George R. R. Martin (this effer is 1,150 pages) March will be more productive as I'll try to avoid the books in the four-digit page range.
