    I forget why this got my attention but I will cop to the “by the author of Severance” blurb helping more than somewhat, not realizing that it’s a novel that predates the show by four years and is completely unrelated to it.

    What a lovely mistake! The stories were excellent and I will probably grab the novel too. Warning: maybe check the content before starting on the first two stories?

    Goth surrealist tangential punny folklore ghost stories? Idk what the hell I just read and if it was a TV show I’d turn it off but I can read stuff like this all day long (and just did).

    More great stories, some of which, but fewer than those in “Stranger Things Happen” would fit right in with those collected in “Black Water” (mastodon.social/@gravely/110403938932091902) and “Black Water 2” (mastodon.social/@gravely/110899731695137550).

    So good, I’m grabbing another collection of Link’s, "Get in Trouble”, immediately.

    What it says on the tin and knows it. Spoonfuls of chewy metaphors.

    I feel like more than a few people I follow posted about this over the past year so I eventually followed suit. More memoir (again!) than I’m normally into but just enough history, novelty, and new-to-me theory to be pretty good after all.

    After enjoying every single story in the “Hainish Novels and Stories (www.ursulakleguin.com/hainish-novels-and-stories), I figured I can’t go wrong tackling Earthsea for the first time by just reading all of them in the similar “The Books of Earthsea" (www.ursulakleguin.com/the-books-of-earthsea).

    I grabbed this one after landing on a Don Norman piece (www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me). I enjoyed “The Design of Everyday Things" so I followed Norman’s suggestion to read Mismatch.

    Pretty quick read, and full of things so obviously correct that I got impatient with the author’s patience? Good stuff.

    Two memoirs to start the year. Weird, I never read memoirs.

    This one was quoted in some video I watched chasing Chris Scruggs stuff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeR2yZ2pWCw what a great band! that steel player?!) that I probably landed on looking up a 500songs.com (which I’m 90 episodes into) citation, so I found myself reading it.
