Hail Sagan Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 The Age of Madness trilogy by Abercrombie. Taking place roughly 30 years after the events in the first law trilogy the Industrial Revolution has come to the major cities along with all its progress and brutal exploitation of the peasant class. Meanwhile those with seats on the open and closed councils in Adua as well as kingdoms across the seas are at the mercy of the usury of the largest bank in the world, Valint and Balk. Wars are brewing within and outside the city gates while an even bigger uprising is taking place with the breakers and the burners who hope to ignite a great change for the good of the people. I don’t know why I just wrote a real generic description but yeah, it was actually really good. As with his other works the characters here are just so well written and distinct. And while I’ve thought the “grim dark” genre label given to Abercrombie seemed a little unwarranted in the past I’d say it is justified here. It’s been a good journey and feels more rewarding than playing another shitty video game with a terrible storyline or binging brain-decaying stream slop on Netflix. I’m doing that tomorrow.

decibal cooper Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 New Thomas Pynchon? Methinks this ain't no hoax. Looks like the big dog had one final novel in him. Can't wait if this is real! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/316427/shadow-ticket-by-thomas-pynchon/ Quote About Shadow Ticket The new novel from Thomas Pynchon Milwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labor-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, a one-time strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, he’s been shanghaied onto a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and enough pastry to see any cop well into retirement—and of course no sign of the runaway heiress he’s supposed to be chasing. By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them, none of which Hicks is qualified, forget about being paid, to deal with. Surrounded by history he has no grasp on and can’t see his way around in or out of, the only bright side for Hicks is it’s the dawn of the Big Band Era and as it happens he’s a pretty good dancer. Whether this will be enough to allow him somehow to lindy-hop his way back again to Milwaukee and the normal world, which may no longer exist, is another question.

I've been researching the topic of the 4th way from different angles and authors for quite more than a decade now. Everyone should read Belzebub's Tales to His Grandson, at least one time on their lives, not proselitising it or being fanatic from a religion or cult prespective view, (this thing is at its core a complete opposite of that) but because the book is a strange marvel and it is amazingly written. Pretty interesting stuff, with some definite principles on it but approachable by many different practices to aquire the "concious labours and intentional sufferings" required, to grow the inner higher body, gat demmett Edited April 16 by Milwaukeeeee Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/30579-now-reading/page/212/#findComment-3009602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
