The Dark Half
Stephen KingAlex ValdiersJust finished the #book The Dark Half by Stephen King. It was disappointing. I didn't believe in it, the idea is great, the execution is poor, not one likeable character in there

Hangsaman
Shirley JacksonAlex Valdiers@StephenKing Hello, you probably won't see this, but I've got to ask. Was Tony from the Shining the same Tony from Shirley Jackson's Hangsaman?

King's Dragon
Kate ElliottAlex ValdiersJust finished the #book King's Dragon by @KateElliottSFF. Wow! That's how you do world-building. The world is huge and the further you progress the more bullet Kate Elliott throws at the reader, but it's very nicely done, master narration. 1/2

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution
R. F. KuangAlex ValdiersStarting reading #Babel by Kuang and so far it's a train wreck. You would think a novel about translation would actually be able to translate languages from one to another. Well, Kuang proves the contrary. P 44 she mocks a French translation of the Arabian Nights for using /

The Western Lands
William S. BurroughsAlex ValdiersJust finished the #book The Western Lands, by the great William Burroughs. Wonderful prose even better than usual, you can see his evolution throughout the years. Yet less vivid than the Naked Lunch, he has more control over his prose. Truly one of the very best SF writers

Shōgun
James ClavellAlex Valdiers400 pages into #Shogun by Clavell and I m still puzzling whether it s meant to be a comedy or not. For a ‘historical’ novel the amount of BS is astonishing. Englishmen pretending to speak Portuguese like a native, Japanese housewives discussing philosophy in latin, lords /2
