To me the converging objects of the universe perpetually flow,Īll are written to me, and I must get what the writing means. In all people I see myself, none more and not one a barley-corn less,Īnd the good or bad I say of myself I say of them. I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones. Having pried through the strata, analyzed to a hair, counsel'd with doctors and calculated close, Why should I pray? why should I venerate and be ceremonious? I wear my hat as I please indoors or out. Whimpering and truckling fold with powders for invalids, conformity goes to the fourth-remov'd, That months are vacuums and the ground but wallow and filth. ![]() I do not snivel that snivel the world over, What is a man anyhow? what am I? what are you?Īll I mark as my own you shall offset it with your own, How is it I extract strength from the beef I eat? Who goes there? hankering, gross, mystical, nude ![]()

One bad book could have derailed the momentum, so Bachman was a place to experiment with new forms, ideas, and voices. ![]() At the time the first batch of Bachman books came out, he was on a good trajectory, but hardly guaranteed the 4-decade career he’s had. It makes sense, if you consider that Stephen King was growing into a household name and the author was finally making some money for the first time in his life. There’s a decided second-hand quality to the Bachman stories, as though King was unwilling to launch a real novel under the name of Richard Bachman. Having now finished my second Bachman book, I’ve found that some of my trepidation, while uneducated, wasn’t terribly inaccurate. The reasons were myriad and largely uneducated: Bachman seemed “ uncanon” somehow I’m not a big fan of sci-fi, the synopses themselves didn’t pique my interest, etc. I have been a Stephen King fan for nearly 30 years, and during that time I’d managed to never read a Richard Bachman book, until starting this blog. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Treasure hunters series order![]() ![]() Relic Hunter is a Canadian fantasy adventure series that focuses more on the idea of treasure in a historical context that is, the protagonists are usually hunting for a historical artifact or relic as opposed to a whole hoard of treasure!

He bagged his first job doing PR for an art gallery – fortunately, the boss “had taken a chance on grass-green me when the other woman at the final interview had had years of experience”. Twentysomething Toby has led a charmed life: popular at school rich, supportive parents sweet, adoring girlfriend. For her seventh book, she has created something rather different: a pin-sharp portrait of privilege, recounted not by a world-weary, wisecracking detective but by a crime victim who is also a suspect. As so often in crime novels, they tended to be outsiders in some way, or struggling with their own past trauma. O ver the last 12 years Tana French has become known for blisteringly good crime thrillers narrated by various cops in the fictional Dublin Murder Squad. ![]() |
