The Warsaw Conspiracy

Reading Report to Greco, Nikos Kazantzakis (best known for Zorba the Greek). It's his memoirs, more or less. By the way, if you haven't read Zorba the Greek, do so. Or at least see the old movie.

This is fascinating. He tells how he started writing, you see where some of the famous quotes originated. And he's a good storyteller, so over all interesting

Caught a few good sales this month. These are all Amazon.com so hopefully the prices are good for everyone.



I read this my first year of college and it really helped to form the sort of Fantasy writer I'd be, because just knowing that changed how I interpreted the dark.

Re-reading Sometimes a Great Notion, by Ken Kesey. Read it once in my youth. The physical book disappeared long ago, so I bought an ebook of it. The narrative is so good. Reading it is a bit like going over a waterfall. A big one.

Having lived much of my youth in the Pacific Northwest, his descriptions are a delight to read. And the family drama is on a par with East of Eden or The Brothers Karamazov.

 

[Io - lord of All]

I bought Elf Quest, and afterwards I'm thinking "Why have I never heard of this before". It is now one of my favorite fantasy comics, totally worth it.

Elfquest was one of my great obsessions growing up. You're in for a good time.

Renaissance Woman: The Life of Vittoria Colonna​

I stopped on ElfQuest after the original set was done. They promised it was 20 issues and over... then it went on for 40 more years. I am not sure I could have kept up, but it was a great thing when I was younger. But...It is too much to pick up again now. I hear they have retired. Best to Wendy and Richard.

Wendy I don't know, but Richard's gone full on old man yelling at clouds.

I discovered Elf Quest when it came out in black and white. Loved it. Wish I still had those comics.
