I am! We've been gaming together since we were nine. My wife says we regress to about that age when we get together...

Sounds like you are a twin...

Two Towers - the older I get the more I like Two towers. I remember reading it as a youth and not appreciating it.

I absolutely devoured A Canticle for Liebowitz.

A Canticle for Liebowitz

Not seeming to be a page turner.....

Finished the Two Towers. Not much more to be said after re-reading it countless times. The back cover of my copy just came off, so I'll need to tape that back together.

Next up is Fritz Leiber's The Night of the Long Knives.

Finished reading Babylon Berlin by Volker Kutcher. Will have to watch the tv-series late on.
Also read Nordiska Väsen (English title is "Vaesen") as well as the game The Dune Rose.

Also done lots of proofreading this year on various rpg-products. Call of Cthulhu Sverige, Kopparhavets Hjältar, Chock åter från Graven, Leviathan, Rotsystem.

Now, started reading the expansion-book to Good Society - A Jane Austen rpg, called an Expanded Aquintance.

Also reading a book of short stories called Sisterhood of the Blade. It is about the adventures of 3 womens who kind of acts as the queesn's musketeers. One a japanese samurai woman who ws amrried to a french guy and is now a widow, one the daughter of a general, and thus trained in swordfighting , and one a young woman who grew up along pirates. Quite fun so far.

Also still reading a book about archery training and coaching. Not quite relevant to me as I don't do recurve (olympic style)

Medium book review

A Canticle For Liebowitz

Regarded as one of the most important science fiction books.....I kind of devoured it once I started.

It is three novellas that take place in one church after we nuked the world. These stories take place hundreds of years apart, give our take.

I'm unsure how I feel about it. For one, there is a lot of tedious church stuff, which is kind of the point, but it's tedious. For another, despite a lot sort of happening, not much actually happens. Lastly, it is depressing.

You see a lot of present movies and books here.... it clearly is influential. It is well written. It makes good points, as does all great science fiction. But, I doubt I can recommend it. As I said, depressing and lots of tedium.

Interestingly, though, it will influence my next DnD campaign.....
