In Conan and the Emerald Lotus, the seeds of a deadly plant grant sorcerers immense power, but turn its users into inhuman killers. In the exclusive, long-awaited sequel Conan and the Living Plague, a Shemite wizard seeks to create a serum to use as a lethal weapon. Instead he unleashes a hideous monster on the city of Dulcine. Hired to loot the city of its treasures, Conan and his fellows in the mercenary troop find themselves trapped in the depths of the city’s keep. To escape, they must defeat the creature, its undead followers, then face Lovecraftian horrors beyond mortal comprehension.

Really enjoyed it.

It had a healthy dose of Howard and sprinkles of the comics and film Conan. I loved the Lovecraft aspects. I thought it moved at a nice pace and flowed beautifully. I would have never guessed that voice for Conan but after a bit I figured what the hell? It grew on me. I thought the reader was great. Overall I thought it was great. Hope to get more!

On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.

The writing was terse but strong. It was firmly placed in a blue collar perspective and was a comfortable and interesting read. Reader was a little rough at first but grew on me.

This book was so perfect and unique yet still checked off all the boxes of stuff we love about Hard Case Crime books and hard boiled thrillers in general.

In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining.

It always bums me out to hear Tarantino say he’s going to retire after one more film but if he takes up writing full time I can’t wait.

Life is the ultimate game of hide and seek... and the good news is that you're it! With the combination of playful irreverence and penetrating insight that made him a legend in Western philosophy, Alan Watts investigates the surprisingly liberating concept of "the universe as play" found at the heart of Hinduism, Zen, and other wisdom traditions.

Revisado: 02-27-23
Stumbling onto Watt’s podcast definitely brought calm to a lost and troubled mind that couldn’t slow down and literally catch it’s breath.
The deep wisdom delivered with his wry, irreverent lilt slips under and around anxiety and angst making it easier to leave them behind and pursue life in a more intelligent and meaningful way.

Sami Yaffa is a bass guitar legend, an icon of the rock world, and an uncompromising walker of his own way, who rose to prominence as the bassist of the mythical Hanoi Rocks. A man of lights and shadows, and the embodiment of street credibility, Yaffa has recorded with Bruce Springsteen and Slash, played with the New York Dolls and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, crawled across Helsinki pubs and restaurants with Anthony Bourdain, and performed at Carnegie Hall. This is his story.

Been a fan of Hanoi Rocks since I was a kid. Followed all the members various projects and Sami always came across as a powerhouse of punk purity and an open soul. This book proves it. Fantastic.

1991. A restless young man called Dox is back home in Texas. His friends have missed him, and his mother and sisters need him. But after four years as a Marine and another two as a CIA contractor fighting the Soviet Union alongside the Afghan mujahideen, small-town life in Abilene is a suffocating dead end. Another secret war, this one in Southeast Asia, offers a big payday and the solution to his family’s troubles. But secret wars are never what they’re billed to be, and Dox is about to get the education of his young life.
