Book of the Week: …You Tell Me.
I’m on my last bar of power, sorry. I might not make it to television. So: open thread on books. Come up with stuff you KNOW the rest of us have never heard of.
Book of the Week: The Silmarillion.
I’m picking The Silmarillion because I’ve been finishing up Rings of Power (of which more anon). So, on the oft chance that you haven’t yet read the collated worldbuilding notes of a man who could have been the greatest GM in the universe, here you go. Enjoy.
Book of the Week: Anathema – A Monstergirl Artbook.
The day was lovely, in fact. My wife and I had lunch in Frederick, then as we were driving back from that we saw a craft fair at the county fairgrounds. So we wandered around there for an hour, ate county fair food, bought a bunch of fun stuff, and had ourselves a really nice time.
Anyway: this isn’t an Amazon special or anything. Ben Fleuter is selling copies of his Anathema – A Monstergirl Artbook*. Ben’s a good dude and a good artist, so I don’t mind doing a little signal-boosting.
*”Please be aware that – while generally PG13 – this booklet does contain some depictions of undeath and body-horror.”
Book of the Week: Councilor: A Novel in the Grand Illusion.
I’m not going to lie: many of you might find L.E. Modesitt’s Councilor: A Novel in the Grand Illusion a bit dry. The series itself is mostly concerned with political shenanigans in a steampunk-ish parliament, with the occasional assassination and/or government chicanery tossed in. I like it, but I can recognize that not everybody will. Still, it was what I was reading this week.
So it goes.

Book of the Week: Tales From The Fermi Resolution, Volume 1 (it’s on sale!).
As God is my witness, I’m as surprised as you are. Amazon decided to sell Tales From The Fermi Resolution for four bucks and twenty-four cents. I have no idea why that number, nor do I care: my cut remains intact. So now is the time to get that book in print! Hell, buy ten and hand them out as Christmas presents. Or buy a hundred, and hand them out on Halloween. Now is the time to take advantage of Amazon’s desperation…

Book of the Week: The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories.
BEHOLD! The power of a good cover. I know I have all of the stories in The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories, but the cover tempts me. That poor penguin’s expression*…
*It’s not really an expression: it’s just very good graphic element placement and presentation. Still impressive.

Book of the Week: A Night in the Lonesome October.
Roger Zelazny’s A Night in the Lonesome October is one of the classics of the genre, and you probably already have a copy. If you don’t? Well… Roger Zelazny’s A Night in the Lonesome October is one of the classics of the genre.
Book of the Week: DUTIES.
Book of the Week: The Blood Is The Life.
THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE by David Carrico is the story of a nice Orthodox Jewish boy who becomes a vampire… and who would like to continue being a nice Orthodox Jewish boy, thank you very much. It’s an establishing novel, mostly focused on establishing the world, and setting up the character for future adventures; I look forward to seeing what happens to the hero after this. A quick, fun read.
