Better Than Friday - 8 (Patreon)

Happy October everyone. 

What's your favorite book/author for the Season of the Witch? 

1. Book in the Pipeline - Karl Ove Knausgård - My Struggle Volume 2 

So far I'm really enjoying this. 

Though it's long, it's an easy read, and filled with innumerable insights. 

It really is an extremely impressive accomplishment, if just for his attention to detail through his memory of events. 

I kept hearing about Volume 2 specifically for the last few years, and it seems to be paying off. The tone is even darker than the first. 

For those who have read, I just finished the part about him getting drunk and cutting his face. 

Outrageous. 

2. How I'm Getting In The October Mood

The Soundtrack from The Company of Wolves 

This is a British Horror/Fantasy film directed by Neil Jordan, who did Interview with the Vampire, based on the short story by Angela Carter. 

A strange, silly, eerie film, with a great score, and a truly grotesque wolf transformation, which features the snout of a wolf emerging from the mouth of a man. Unforgettable. 

3. The Last Amazing Band I Heard

The Amazing Snakeheads. 

They made one album. 

Dale Barclay, the lead singer, died from brain cancer at 32 last year. 

Life is merciless. 

4. A New Word I'll Be Employing

Wiseacre - a person with an affectation of wisdom or knowledge, regarded with scorn or irritation by others; a know-it-all.

5. The Cult That Made Your Grandmother's Fine Silverware 

The Oneida community was a perfectionist, communist and polyamorous cult in New York that's responsible for making the Oneida silverware.
