The Song of Achilles
Madeline MillerWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)Finished listening to The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and I really enjoyed it. It’s an interesting parallel to my WIP about Sodom because many readers will know how it ends from the start. The magic is in the middle, but tricky to pull off. She did it. I will, too! 😀

The Bell Jar
Sylvia PlathWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)@joboyle2010 I love Sylvia Plath! She’s one of my main influences. I read The Bell Jar and many of her poems. I was blown away by her analogies and insights. I want to write like that. 😀

A Brief History of Time
Stephen HawkingWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)@minogully In "A Brief History of Time," Stephen Hawking stated that there was nothing inherent in the concept of time to indicate a direction. But, we know that changes such as fire turning paper to ash can't be undone. Maybe entropy determines direction? 🤔

The Science of Getting Rich
Wallace D. WattlesWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)@ShakirHimself Yes. You’ll find that it is repetitive and redundant and repeats itself a lot. 😉 But, the concept is fascinating. After that, another quick read along the same lines is The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. Written in the late 1800’s. Happy reading!

The Devil Takes You Home
Gabino IglesiasWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)Finished listening to The Devil Takes You Home by @Gabino_Iglesias So good! It is a great listen, with several very unexpected twists along the way. Mr. Iglesias broke my heart and then hardened it again. In the end, he showed me why none of it mattered. 😈💔

We Have Always Lived in the Castle: (Penguin Orange Collection)
Shirley JacksonWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)Just started listening to “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” by Shirley Jackson. Many of you recommended it when I was listening to “The Haunting of Hill House” I like it so far, and the narrator is good. There is a heaviness in the prose…like the inevitable is coming. 😒

The Jungle: Complete and Unabridged by Upton Sinclair
Upton SinclairWriterRob Is Doing Final Edits (Yet, again!)Finished listening to The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Enjoyed the story even though there is a lot of telling. I appreciate that his book lead to investigations and reforms. I didn’t like his socialism-cures-all rant at the end. Narrator (Grover Gardener) was very good! 😀👍
