    I've always heard the full expression (when people used it) was, "Like the fifth wheel on a wagon." If the wagon is the object, "fifth wheel" is the correct term for "superfluous".

  2. Just finished Paul Tremblay's "Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep" and I really appreciated the Dalí-esque surrealist second-person chapters, which a) prove that human creativity can come up with things AI never would, and b) will fuck up any AI trained on it without consent #amreading #amreadinghorror #horror

  7. TIL that Tuvok from #StarTrek Voyager was also the guy in #Spaceballs who, while combing the desert, says, "We ain't found shit."

  12. I finished Angel Down by Daniel Kraus today. I knew it was literary horror, which is not normally my cup of tea. I expected to be impressed, and to appreciate it, but not really like it. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. It's a great story and the literary elements really worked for me. I even liked the way it was all written as a single sentence, which sounded gimmicky to me, but turns out to be for a reason, and it mostly worked. Anyway, worth a read! #amreading #amreadinghorror #horror

  17. Just reread Pet Sematary for the first time since I was, like, 13. It's funny how things stick with you long after you remember what it's from. Whenever I'm digging a hole for gardening or whatever, I always think about how there won't be enough dirt to fill it back in, and I had totally forgotten that was about grave dirt.

  27. "Lucky Day" by Chuck Tingle was quite good. It's a creative idea, and the character arc is smooth, with constant, gradual progress, that makes the final change feel well earned.

    There's a sci-fi aspect that is a fascinating thought experiment, but that made me ask a bunch of "yeah but what about x?!" questions, but, to paraphrase MST3Q, I should repeat to myself "It's just a book, I should really just relax."

    Fun read. Definitely recommend.

  29. Just read a couple Jennifer Thorne books back to back. I really like her writing style. She does amazing dialog and interpersonal conflict.

    Lute was especially great. So good that I immediately decided to see what else she'd written.

    Diavola got off to a fantastic start, but petered out a bit after the midpoint. Still worth a read, but I personally connected with Lute more.
