I much MUCH prefer to have all the books in a series published before I start with the series. Otherwise, yeah, I fall victim to the thing where I forget to continue with the second book when it comes out. Particularly when it’s something like the Ibis Trilogy, where the books are quite dense to read (though wonderful!).

Eh, Anne Rice has BEEN off the deep end. I always want to urge her to shuuuusssshhh because it seems like every time she speaks publicly, she says something ruhlly dumb and annoying.

I know, it’s a tricky issue. It’s hard to figure out what’s the best response.

YES very much so. Sea of Poppies! It’s dense, but excellent!

I’ve been recommended Amitav Ghosh, is his series one worth beginning?

Huh? And trigger warnings and microaggressions and comedians who no longer choose to perform on college campuses. Politically correctness hampers comedians and authors, too. Quagmire.

As for Franzen, as soon as I heard the other day his new book was about feminism and social media I cringed but also LMAO because the humor. So thanks for the Twitter link to start it all off for me.
