Heavy: How Metal Changes the Way We See the World
Dan Franklin
If there's a problem with heavy metal writing – and I'm only sure there is sometimes & even then this is highly subjective – it's that there aren't enough who marry a literary flair with rock solid analysis... but Dan Franklin has both. His new book COME MY FANATICS... 1/3 https://t.co/M71apQAb0C

Wise Blood
Flannery O'Connor
Best re-visit. For the first time in over a decade it’s not Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood but… *cue Journey Of The Sorcerer by the Eagles*… I’m reading these for the first time in 35 years, and this time with my son. It’s been joyous. https://t.co/402Y4cjKPX

Inventory
Darran Anderson
Just wanted to boost this post here. Darran Anderson's Inventory was my favourite book of 2020. I hope the fact he's won the 160,000 euro Windham-Campbell prize, means that more people will snap up a copy this unique book. https://t.co/5D6io5ywS5
