I am a horror novel fanatic, but lately i thought i would have a change. I just finished the hobbit which was alright, much easier read than LOTR, and not dragged the fuck out like LOTR either, though it sounds like they done that with the hobbit movies.
And at the moment i am half way through Brian Baits "The way of the wyrd" very interesting so far

of course that is the case since Tolkien wrote The Hobbit as a children's book for his granddaughter to enjoy

yeah i definitely got the feeling it was a book for young children, but i think that actually helped out as there wasn't lots of long boring chapters about meetings on what they were about to do, and explaining the history of the land, the crappy descriptions of the land and all that boring irrelevant shit in LOTR

I am reading "Deepness In The Sky" by Vernon Vinge...one of the best sci-fi novels i know - NOTfaster-than-light ships, clash of two human space-traveling cultures, arachnid-like alien society, a solar system where the sun lights on and off in cycles...it also won HUGO in 1999, so its not just me

or page long descriptions of what the doors look like that they are about to open. LotR would have been a lot better had Tolkien got to the point more often. It could easily fit into 1 to 1.5 volumes instead of the three. Most of the stuff he writes about is indeed totally irrelevant for LotR

Got a copy of Only Death Is Real: An Illustrated History of Hellhammer and Early Celtic Frost 1981-1985 the other day and I'm quite enjoying it. Still at the beginning but the level of detail is really nice !

Got it at Roadburn 2010 and had it signed by Tom G. Warrior right there and then It is is afun read and love the pictures in it, especially the one of skinny Tom with his skateboard.

yeah the pics are great, I love the progressive transformation from Grave Hill looking to be more extreme....
Also, it's hard cover but not signed

All I know is that it's a photo book.
But I do still need to get it.

Oh it's a photo book. I just realized it existed and made a question. Well, if the photos are great then, possibly, I'll get it too.

I went for a short trip with my friends, bivouacked for 2.5 days and read this incredible book. I am almost finishing it up.
