Reply to Friendly reminder bookshop.org exists. by smita16
I’ve been using it exclusively for buying books! I love it, especially knowing I’m supporting a local indie shop.

Reply to Pompeii by Robert Harris will appeal to people interested in water resources, engineering and city infrastructure by boxer_dogs_dance
I remember I was surprised when I liked this book back in college when I read it. Thanks for reminding me of it, definitely think I'll re-read.

Reply to I read 13 horror novels for the month of October, and here is a short pitch for each to see if you should read one! by CasualTotoro
I love this list! My Stephen King pick for this year was Later; loved it. Fairy Tale didn't ping me as horror, but it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it! It was one of my favorite reads this year. If you haven't yet, you should check out Thistlefoot!

Reply to I’ve finished the memoir ‘Running with scissors’ and I loved it, but ….. by [deleted]
I know that I wouldn't be able to trust my memory enough to ever write something close to a memoir. The level of shit I went through was such that I don't remember a big gap of my past. Like, my first real memories start when I was 14/15. I've heard stories, I've been told things, but I know now that the person who told me all of those things was a very unreliable narrator himself. So, I don't know what to believe. But I have proof of some of the things that happened and I can make leaps from there.
I read Running With Scissors a long, long time ago, but I remember enjoying it and not questioning much at the time.
