Nearing the end of J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace. What an amazing writer. I can't think of anyone to compare Coetzee to. This is the second novel of his I've read (starting with his Waiting For the Barbarians). Intense, captivating, at time disturbing, unpredictable. Amazing.

Amazing.I just found out that this was made into a movie starring John Malcovich. I put it on my DVD queue. Should be interesting to see how the handle this strange, fascinating story!If you read it, I hope you like it. A fine novel, more intense that fun, but what a great writer Coetzee is!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Just finished the first two books of Rothfuss's Kingkiller chronicle...looks like the conclusion will come out anytime in the next 20 years...Reading The age of American Unreason and Women Race and Class...I can't power through non fiction at the same pace..it takes my brain a long time to process and understand.Scio me nihil scire
There are no kings inside the gates of eden0 -
The first Rothfuss is genius work, imo.
There was a novella released between the two, I believe. It was not bad.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

He said in 2014 that it would be out in about a year, so.... yeah
He apparently had the whole thing written as one long story before TNOTW was even published.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
Yeah not sure what is up with that.
One of the things I really appreciate about the authors who regularly publish. I know it is a different path for different writers but it sucks smashed assholes when you forgot all of the shit because it was 5+ years from the last book and need to go back and study or re-read.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

The writing is superb.
How I found out about his book -- I was teaching a stop motion video class on zoom over the summer and fell in love with LAIKA studios films -- Box trolls, Coraline, Kubo, etc... watching all the behind the scenes on how these movies are made. Absolutely fascinating.
Anyway, their upcoming project was recently announced to be a stop motion film from th book WILDWOOD. So I purchased it and am reading it aloud to my six year old son. I was so intrigued by the writer that I looked him up- Colin Meloy. He's the lead singer of famed band The Decemberists.
I kid... I have two unrelated novels in the works right now, but once they're completed, I was thinking of doing a short story Jonny Bails follow-up... just to see where it goes. Maybe, just maybe, that could develop into something.
Cool. I'd like to know what he's up to.
