Better Than Friday - 166 (Patreon)

Good evening ya'll, hope you're reading something solid this weekend. 

Currently editing Part 1 of a 2-part 'Crime and Punishment' review. 

I stopped at the end of Chap 3 - Svidrigailov just introduced himself. 

1. Book I'd like to read - Vladimir Sorokin's Telluria 

A 'Neo-Feudal' dystopic fiction that's being compared to Cormac McCarthy and William Gibson. 

Reminds me a bit of 'Hard to be a God', which I still have to read...

2. Adam Lehrer got on Billy Corgan's Podcast 

Adam got on the show of the one and only rat in a cage. 

Turns out Corgan's a huge fan of Communions. He called it 

"literally the most fantastic book I've read in the last 20 years from a contemporary writer."

I wish Adam all the best now that he's famous as fuck. 

He's got a new one out with Morbid Books - I'm sure it's a doozy. 

3. What might be the greatest EBM/Industrial song I've ever heard 

It took a long time for me to get into Front 242, not sure why. 

Still sounds so good. I think it's widely considered one of the best of all time. 

4. New(er) Cormac McCarthy Interview 

A stunning interview with the greatest living American author. 

Finishing up his new one 'The Passenger' right now. 

5. Ask a Mortician 

Morbid, but interesting. Not your everyday Q&A.
