Here come #rebsReadings in April - not many but overall pretty good books!

#FinishedReading this rather large novel of interlocking stories, set in 15th century Constantinople, 20th-21st century Idaho, and aboard a spaceship fleeing a ruined Earth, bound together by the characters' fascination with a half-preseved Ancient Greek comedy. I didn't love the whole book - the character of Seymour never rang true to me - but it does wrap together beautifully in the end. #Bookstodon @bookstodon #AnthonyDoerr

I’m listening to the #AllTheLightWeCannotSee #AudioBook by #AnthonyDoerr on #Audible now, and it’s fantastic. This’ll give you an idea of how much more detailed the book is. There’s a memorable scene about 14mins into the first episode of the series. The show so far basically follows the outline in the book. That same moment doesn’t occur in the audio version until almost 4hrs in. #AudibleBooks

All the Light We Cannot See: outstanding television. Aria Mia Loberti, a first time actress, is terrific. https://oldaintdead.com/all-the-light-we-cannot-see-outstanding-television/ #AllTheLightWeCannotSee, #AnthonyDoerr, #AriaMiaLoberti, #HughLaurie, #LarsEidinger, #LouisHofmann, #LunaWedler, #MarionBailey, #MarkRuffalo, #NellSutton, #ShawnLevy

The Vanishing Act
"All morning I lay down sentences, erase them, and try new ones. Soon enough when things go well, the world around me dwindles: the sky out the window, the furious calm of the big umbrella pine ten feet away, the smell of dust falling into the hot bulb of the lamp. That's the miracle of writing—when the room, your body, and even time itself cooperate in a vanishin

Wanting to get back into reading, so I charged up my #kindle #paperwhite and have been adding #books to it over the last few days.

Currently re-reading (for about the 5th or 6th time) Another Roadside Attraction by #TomRobbins. I’ve also downloaded most of the rest of his books and will be rereading those soon, too.

I’ve got Daisy Jones and the Six by #TaylorJenkinsReid, Lessons in Chemistry by #BonnieGarmus, and All the Light We Cannot See by #AnthonyDoerr.

My reading tastes are a bit all over the place, and I’m never sure what I may or may not like. But if you’ve any #recommendations for books you think are particularly good, I’m all ears!

@PatrickZircher @bookstodon Too hard to pick one. #emilystjohnmandel , #annpatchett , #AnthonyDoerr

@jakeblount Hi Jake! Searched for you after seeing someone had started a music genre group...
Thanks for the #bookstadon link.
Like your #sff list , but I've been out of the habit...

(I hear caps in hashtags help folk with screen readers, but my shifting fingers get tired.)

Trying to come up with a “favourite authors” list, as I’ve seen a few other people do. It’s tricky, because it changes all the time. But here’s a list of authors from whom any new release would be considered as a “must buy”.

@brianvastag Agreed. Beautifully written and just a gorgeous series of landscapes in this ode to storytelling. The NYT review (9/2021) calls it a “Swiss watchery of construction.” (I read this before I read Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See,” by the way. Blown away by that! Breathtaking.) I wouldn’t mind reading “Cloud Cuckoo Land” again; thanks for the reminder! #books #bookstodon #anthonydoerr
