Trickster Drift by Eden Robinson

REALLY wicked book

never read any Asher but have heard of him. cannot recall where. is Dark Intelligence good?

I'm going through an unknowing phase so I'm almost illiterate . . .

I would rank him as very good, not great. This is the 6th book I have read.
I will be honest, I like him cause he is a crazy, old conservative, which is rare in the modern sci-fi world.

He wrote 3 episodes of "Love, Death, and Robots". = "Bad Traveling", "Snow in the Desert", and "Mason's Rats".

I read that a long time ago. Really good. I just finished "Going Infinite", Good, but Lewis is definitely going easy on SBF. From my understanding, the book started as a puff piece, before the collapse of FTX. The best part is where he talks about the nerds at Jane's Street Capital.

I heard that about the SPF book and am not sure if I'll end up reading it or not. I don't actually care about that story, maybe it's too fresh or too crypto for me.

I only recently discovered that I like reading about old wall street or business scandal, started with John Lefevres book and then the Enron book, and then Billion Dollar Whale about the Malaysian dude who financed Wolf Of Wall Street with the money he stole from the government.

Now I'm working through the Michael Lewis books :thumbsup

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

ever heard of Nick Leeson? "Rogue Trader"

Haha no I have not! Will read and/or watch. Ewan McGregor??

when I saw Lez's trailer that was my first thought-Ewan!!!

developed such a huge crush on him with Trainspotting. my god he looks young in the Rogue movie

I recall Neeson cuz he was involved in the fall of a bank. takes a certain level of chicanery to fuck up that badly :1orglaugh

sounds like a fascinating story to read. I'm gonna order one in from the city library to my local one (way cheaper than 150% import fees on Amazon books from abroad)



well if this is you're 6th book by him that you've read he better be at least 'good' :upsidedow


not a hard core sci-fi fan personally but I do like speculative fiction/dystopian future kinda stuff

my favs in that vein are Nalo Hopkinson and Margaret Atwood (Oryx and Crake-you might really enjoy that one). but I love everything they write in any genre so kinda massively biased


I like your threads. happy reading!

Whole movie is on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AzziTZ8QqA

gracias for posting the link. will watch it in 20 min bursts so hope it doesn't get deleted

feel awful watching ish for free but I have the full yt Heathers movie bookmarked so I'm evil too

Ewan was a cutie back in the day. not my type at all but damn he had that insouciant Scottish lad thing going on

probs the book will be more factual but I'm all for 'artistic liberties' if I get to see him nekkid. and the book was apparently written by Leeson so no doubt completely unbiased :upsidedow


wicked thread all around

I write... I haven't read a book since "The Glass Hotel" after Obama recommended it. A total snooze-fest written for women, could not finish it... Modern literature is absolute woke garbage. Nothing but diversity authors getting published because they are a meme. Many book awards given out to people with the right identities. I used to read a TON of books.

My first book in 2013 when I accurately predicted the collapse of dating:

https://www.amazon.ca/City-Singles-J.../dp/0991825705

Read the reviews for a good laugh, but I was right about the collapse of dating. Birth rates continue to plummet.

My second book in 2021 where I predict urban centers becoming more and more lawless and corrupt, a week after I released the Amazon ebook version, a man was stabbed to death in Vancouver in broad daylight in a Starbucks in front of his wife and kid:

https://theync.com/fatal-stabbing-at...-starbucks.htm

According to the Vancouver police, crime is down in Vancouver! Anyone who was actually born and raised in Vancouver knows the city is a complete fucking hell hole and nothing like it was only 10+ years ago where shit was not nearly as bad.

My 2nd book:

https://www.amazon.ca/Shitkickers-Ja.../dp/B0BZXY9HLV


Problem with being a writer in Canada is that if you have the incorrect political views, white skin, and you're straight, you are not going to get any attention or be up for any awards. Canada gives out millions of dollars in writing awards to mostly blacks writing about blacks and LGBTQ+BBQ420WTF people.

I still enjoy writing and my 3rd book is coming out soon, it is about AI and medically-assisted death in Canada. (Our 5th leading cause of morality in Canada now, something like 30k+ people per year get the government to end their lives)

Who in crypto isn't a thief?

Crypto is like a magnet for Deecash types!

It has really been a long time since my last time reading, short videos have taken up most of my time after get off work.:2 cents:

"Garcia" Blair Jackson

The Spanish Daughter

I'm WRItER!!!

Tend to reach mindless spy/thriller type novels when I get a chance. Jack Reacher novel currently.

Post the books you've written!

I'm about 1-2 months from finishing my 3rd book.

You working on a 3rd?

Your One Night With You book, the 20 short stories, reminds me of one of the books I have 1/2 finished. I call it:

"Applause: 10 stories of how people got the clap"
I have like half the stories written, loosely based on my life and people I know. One of the times was when I was dating this hot chick with huuuuuuge tits, she was a hairdresser and she sold drugs on the side, kind of a "boss bitch" type of woman. Anyways, I got the clap from her after she went on some Alaskan cruise and got banged by some dude she met on the ship, she came back and hung out at my place and we fucked, and like a week later my dick was burning. I went and got the pills for it and it was all good, but I didn't say shit to her.

I threw a house party like a week later and she showed up and was really affectionate towards me at the start, but my buddy in TV and Film, he was totally into her and kept using these passive aggressive statements about how I had been posting "all these babes" on my Facebook while she was gone, and just dropping all these hints in front of her that I wasn't into her. I mean, I was, but after getting the clap, I was definitely not going to fuck her that night. Then he was dancing with her, twirling her, and he even took a fake flower I had in a flower pot, put it in his mouth, and did a special little dance for her. It was pretty over-the-top that he kept trying to woo her that night.

Knowing she had the clap, I was like, haha, this is a good chance to let him fuck her and get it. So I started mixing drinks for them both and talking up how cool his apartment was. (it wasn't as cool as mine at all.)

Sure enough, he took her home that night and banged her, and then like a couple weeks later, his OTHER girlfriend took to social media and put him on blast for giving HER the clap... I was laughing sooooooo hard! He never knew that I knew...

Winterbergs letzte Reise von Jaroslav Rudiš

Metro 2035.. recently finished the two prequels so I felt like I had to finish the trilogy while it was fresh in my kind

Looks kind of cool. Never read anything by a Russian author, I don't believe.

i can get behind that. knowing things is annoying :1orglaugh

#

haHA! I've read a lot of that series, my ex had em all. mindless is a good descriptor but sometimes that kinda thing has a place. I liked them. found them so improbable (homeless giant getting every hot gyal-who were always so slim and beautiful) but I did enjoy them.

never saw the movie but when I read somewhere that slightly shorter than me Tom Cruise was playing Reacher? :1orglaugh


have you ever read any of the John Connolly 'Charlie Parker' series? his books can get a lil odd but man he writes stuff that is dark and so funny, and much deeper than the Reacher books. Angel and Louis (love how they play off each other), the Fulci bros and Jackie. brilliant dialogue and character construction

if you haven't yet, highly recommended
