June TBR | The Supernatural TBR Game Pickles Reads 2022-05-26 | Rules:1. Begin each round by picking a villain/challenge2. Roll a 6 sided dice3. The colour I land on determines what card pile to draw from -Blue: Prop Card (Methods) -Red: Character Card (Reading Goals) -Purple: Library Card (Prompts for library books)4. If the prompt is something like the first book I see on Instagram or last book on the shelf, but that book doesn't fit the villian/challenge card, then I will continue looking at more posts or go to the second/third/etc last book until I find a book that meets the prompt.4. If I land on a colour that has a sticker on it, then the book is exempt from the overarching challenge5. I'll pick 10-12 books, depending on how ambitious I feel. I do have an additional 3 books not included in the game for my self-made curriculum goals.6. There are no punishments for not completing my whole TBR.Books Mentioned:22 Murders by Paul PalangoHow to Teach Quantum Mechanics to Your Dog by Chad OrzelRaven Stratagem by Yoon Ha LeeMisquoting Jesus by Bart D EhrmanThe Gray House by Mariam PetrosyanSecondhand Memories by TakatsuTales from the Bed by Jennifer EstessThe Idiot by Fyodor DostoevskyMidnight Tides by Steven EriksonThe Rise and Reign of the Mammals by Steve BrusatteAltered Carbon by Richard K MorganDubliners by James JoyceThe Midnight Sun by Cecilia EkbackOrlando by Virginia WoolfThe Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel BarberyA Man and His CatDon't forget to subscribe.Want to know more about my life, my opinion on books, and, most importantly, see pictures of my cats?

Colours in House of Leaves | What does it all mean?!?! (NOTHING!) Pickles Reads 2022-05-19 | Interview Quote: "Sinda Gregory (SG): You've referred to "Redwood" as a "piece" and a "bit of writing"--would you describe it as a short story, a meditation, or what?MZD: It was a bit like a novella in some ways and more like a screenplay in others, but it's hard for me to fit it into a category. I wasn't concerned with a specific narrative structure or a set of grammatical rules.(n2) Basically, it was just an outpouring--a means of articulating this torrent of conflicting emotions I was feeling about my father. My sister met me when I finally reached Los Angeles, and we went home and looked after my father until his cancer went into remission. At that point I presented him with my story--as a gift. His response was unbelievable, full of rage--outraged, I think, by the audacity that I had written something so passionate and so focused on him. And so he applied all his years of intellectual edge and shredded me, going on to describe how useless art was, demanding why I didn't just go get a job at the post office!Well, I probably should have expected his reaction, but I was just devastated. My first response afterward was to attempt to eliminate myself from this equation. I was an affront to my father's will and my father's place in the universe, and so rather than challenge that will and that place, I would sacrifice myself. And I did exactly that; the closest thing to suicide I can think of-- I tore up the manuscript of "Redwood" into hundreds of pieces, flung them into a dumpster in the alley, and spent the next few days in a kind of emotional coma. Ripping this thing apart in this Dionysian manner was a violent act but certainly not one inspired by joy and wine."Don't forget to subscribe.Want to know more about my life, my opinion on books, and, most importantly, see pictures of my cats?
