    Nice. I know I've mentioned it before, but I like this one a lot.
    I haven't started it yet, but it'll be the next book I read. I should have time tonight.

    I finished Dick's first book this morning, Solar Lottery. It's pretty good. Definitely a first book, as it suffers from on-the-nose dialog and it looses track of many of the great concepts he sets up in the first half, but it is still pretty good.

    Next up I am going to re-read The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester, and then the new Lansdale collection, Lord of the Razor.

    Nope!

    It's a collection of some of Lansdale's earliest horror short stories that have been long out of print. It contains his novella, The Nightrunners, which is often cited as one of the best horror stories ever written. I've never read it before and I am really looking forward to it. Lansdale is in a class all by himself when it comes to prose, plot, and gripping narratives.

    Is this the other cover you were referring to, lovejuice?

    somehow i'm not sure anymore if it's an actual cover, since i've never seen it anywhere except in her unofficial website.

    Considering I'm around books all day, I'm probably going to read a lot more (I can use Borders like a library anytime).

    I'm thinking about reading Life of Pi.
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    It's a quick read too. I don't remember how long it took me, but I don't think it was more than 2 or 3 days.
