The Kaiju Preservation Society

Weekend reading: "The Kaiju Preservation Society" by John Scalzi. The opening chapter is hilarious. It taps into the ridiculous start-up culture and its habit of inventing pretentious made-up words just so it sounds 'smart' or can be copyrighted. The representation is nice, too. https://t.co/lw785UTu2K

The Snow Child

Eowyn Ivey

There are times when you regret not reading a book sooner. But I'm glad I didn't read Eowyn Ivey's "The Snow Child" years earlier because I wouldn't know one key thing: if this book had a theme song, it would be Taylor Swift's "Bigger Than The Whole Sky". https://t.co/SGoZn1a8c5

The Shining

Stephen King

Read Stephen King's "The Shining" long, long time ago, unable to finish for whatever reason I can't remember, and currently doing a re-read. Now I just realized that Kubrick's movie adaptation didn't do the book justice.
