Kitty's Reading Round-Up (April/May/June 2023)

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

Date Finished: April 14th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5 stars)

Notes/Review: Cried my eyes out. Now one of my favourite books of all time

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

Date Finished: April 16th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review: I listened to this on audio and, yet again, loved it. Casey McQuiston does a really great job with the side characters, which is what got me through the last 25% or so of the book, where the plot was falling a bit flat. I really enjoyed the friendship between Chloe, Smith and Rory along with the other host of side characters which brought False Beach to life. But... the initial plot, the search for Shara, was only interesting to me because of how Chloe interacted with the side characters. Because it so happens that Shara Wheeler (at least to me) was the least interesting part of this book, i didn't care about the cards, or her dad, or how this rich girl was struggling with her sexuality or whatever. maybe because I'm from England, where we don't have religious schools that extreme, but it seemed so exaggerated that i couldn't connect to Shara on any level and just wanted to listen/read about Chloe and her friends. Sorry. (also, the way the narrator pronounced Birmingham every time made me wince lmao)

The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Date Finished: April 28th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review: The play itself is kinda convoluted but I was interested in Caliban's characters so...

---

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

Date Finished: May 24th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review:

fun, cute and endearing. i enjoyed the experimental style and the conclusion to the story, although there were some aspects i didn't quite understand - even though she knew what he was doing, why would Oscar's mum let him walk around new york/skip school for hours at a time?

other than that, i liked Oscar even if i felt he was older than he actually was at times. i liked the mystery with the 'renter' and had a good time with this book.

---

Idol by Louise O'Neil

Date Finished: June 10th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review:

his was a fun, quick read with some interesting moral complexity. i liked the ambiguous ending, we still don't know the full truth - or if there even is one, which i think is interesting.

i wouldn't call this a scathing criticism of society, but it didn't have to be. there was enough there to make it an exciting read without it trying too hard.

i didn't like Sam, but i don't think you were meant to - or, she was meant to be flawed and unreliable.

most unrealistic part was that she seemed to only get one hate comment or smth before everything started.

The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin

Date Finished: June 13th 2023 (DNF'ed pg 237)

Rating: 🌟🌟

Notes/Review:

ik i dnf'ed this and then gave it 2 stars, but this book just wasn't for me. i borrowed it from the library for a creative writing project - i was writing a historical fiction piece, and i wanted to see the different way people implemented their research/wrote about the time period etc.

i started this book in December, finished my project in April, it is now June, and I struggled.

the mystery did not compel me at all, the characters were boring and the writing was flat. i just did not care about anything that was happening. the fact that there are like seven books in this series surprises me.

similarly, i read through some other reviews and a lot of them were suggesting that the historical information was incorrect as well, so...

The much-talked about production did not disappoint; the modernized visuals create many new layers to the show, and make you think about events and characters in a whole new way. Nehal, Allison, Justin, and Christia were probably my favorites, but the entire cast is so talented, it’s difficult to choose any as standouts. A very nice capture overall. There are a couple quick dropouts in act one, but no major blackouts. There is one head that can be seen occasionally, but it only blocks a small portion of the stage and only affects the action for about 20-30 seconds of the entire show. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

Drew and Ann give great performances in their roles. The second disc also includes the first 15 minutes of the February 24, 2007 Evening show, filmed from the rear right orchestra. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - June 1, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Ben Davis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Marissa McGowan (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - August 24, 2007 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Drew Sarich (Jean Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Nikki Renée Daniels (u/s Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Chip Zien (Thénardier), Becca Ayers (u/s Madame Thénardier), Brian D'Addario (Gavroche) NOTES: Some nice closeups/mediums. A nice capture of the new cast. Capture can be dark at times, but mostly in the darker scenes. Includes a technical difficulty when the Barricades first come out, the show is stopped and includes the announcement.. A- Les Misérables - Fourth UK & Ireland Tour - January, 2019 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Killian Donnelly (Jean Valjean), Nic Greenshields (Javert), Katie Hall (Fantine), Bronwen Hanson (Cosette), Harry Apps (Marius), Tegan Bannister (Éponine), Will Richardson (Enjolras), Martin Ball (Thénardier), Sophie-Louise Dann (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - Hollywood Bowl - August 9, 2008 FORMAT:  WMV (HD) CAST: J Mark McVey (Jean Valjean), Brian Stokes Mitchell (Javert), Melora Hardin (Fantine), Michele Maika (Cosette), John Lloyd Young (Marius), Lea Michele (Éponine), Tom Lowe (Enjolras), Sage Ryan (Gavroche) NOTES: J. Mark McVey, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lea Michele, Melora Hardin, John Lloyd Young, Michele Maika, Michael McCormick, Tom Lowe, Ruth Williamson. Juni's master filmed in widescreen and can be a little shakey at times in tight zooms. Nice to see the audience version compared to the Proshot one. A- Les Misérables - Japan - 1997

Les Misérables - Paris - 1991 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Robert Marien (Jean Valjean), Patrick Rocca (Javert), Marie Zamora (Cosette), Jérôme Pradon (Marius), Stéphanie Martin (Éponine), Julien Combey (Enjolras), Laurent Gendron (Thénardier), Marie-France Roussel (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Act 1 + finale of act 2. This is 100% NOT Louise Pitre playing Fantine Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 1, 2014 (Preview) (Highlights) (where is your red schaaaf's master) FORMAT:  MOV (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Gaten Matarazzo (Gavroche) NOTES: First preview. It includes most of the show. Loud excited audience. Blind shot from stage right third row, with no zooms. Keala Settle sprained her ankle at some point between The Robbery and One Day More, resulting in her not being in One Day More and using a cane during Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 8, 2014 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche) NOTES: Audience was full of excitement!

It’s refreshing to see different faces in the lead roles, and both Nathaniel and Earl carry the show well. Nathaniel’s vocals are powerful and he has a great rapport with Caissie and Samantha. A lovely capture overall with no obstruction. Look Down is mostly blacked out and there are a couple quick dropouts during The Bishop scene and Lovely Ladies, but the show is otherwise fully intact. There is also some washout in high contrast wide shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - July 1, 2015 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), John Rapson (u/s Javert), Erika Henningsen (Fantine), Melissa Mitchell (u/s Cosette), Chris McCarrell (Marius), Brennyn Lark (Éponine), Wallace Smith (Enjolras), Gavin Lee (Thénardier), Rachel Izen (Madame Thénardier), Sam Chuck (Gavroche), Joe Spieldenner (Grantaire), Weston Wells Olson (s/w Combeferre) NOTES: Act I begins at "The Runaway Cart" and nearly complete Act II.

Definitely a different performance too.  

Les Misérables - Third UK (25th Anniversary) Tour - June 20, 2010 (thewho's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: John Owen-Jones (Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Madalena Alberto (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Luke Kempner (u/s Marius), Rosalind James (Éponine), Jon Robyns (Enjolras), Ashley Artus (Thénardier), Lynne Wilmott (Madame Thénardier), Jordi Clark (Gavroche), David Lawrence (The Bishop), Adam Linstead (Grantaire), David Covey (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Christopher Jacobsen (Courfeyrac), Rhidian Marc (Joly), David Lawrence (Lesgles), Carl Mullaney (Claquesous), Carl Mullaney (Bamatabois) NOTES: Act 1 starts at At The End of the Day, Act 2 starts at Drink with me. okay quality though blurry and shaky throughout. Les Misérables - Third UK (25th Anniversary) Tour - September 17, 2010 (thewho's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Christopher Jacobsen (u/s Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Madalena Alberto (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Gareth Gates (Marius), Rosalind James (Éponine), Jon Robyns (Enjolras), Ashley Artus (Thénardier), Lynne Wilmott (Madame Thénardier), David Lawrence (The Bishop), Adam Linstead (Grantaire), David Covey (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Peter Manchester (u/s Courfeyrac), Jamie Muscato (Jean Prouvaire), Rhidian Marc (Joly), David Lawrence (Lesgles), Luke Kempner (Montparnasse) NOTES: Barbican Center Theatre, London. First time in history two same productions of a major musical played in the same city. Les Misérables - West End - May 9, 1987 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette), Maurice Clarke (u/s Marius), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Martin George (Enjolras), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Madame Thénardier), Cameron Stewart (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Commonly mistaken as December 28, 1988! Martin Smith was part of the West End cast for 6 months starting December 1986, and the non-circulated first-generation DVD labels the date as 1987/05/09. Les Misérables - West End - December 28, 1991 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Stig Rossen (Jean Valjean), Paul Leonard (Javert), Jenna Russell (Fantine), Sarah Jane Hassell (Cosette), Daryll Winslow (Marius), Meredith Braun (Éponine), Mike Sterling (u/s Enjolras), David Hampshire (u/s The Bishop), Amanda Dainty (u/s Factory Girl) NOTES: Black and white.

He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially then soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry Ellis. Les Misérables - West End - September 19, 2013 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), James Gant (u/s Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Ilan Galkoff (Gavroche), Caoimhe Judd (Little Cosette) Les Misérables - West End - June 14, 2014 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), Tam Mutu (Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Dougie Carter (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Carl Mullaney (Grantaire) NOTES: Final performance of the 2013/14 cast Les Misérables - West End - July 9, 2015 (Highlights) (musicalmania123's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Peter Lockyer (Jean Valjean), Jeremy Secomb (Javert), Rachelle Ann Go (Fantine), Zoe Doano (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Bradley Jaden (Enjolras), Phil Daniels (Thénardier), Katy Secombe (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Highlights only.

[vimesbootstheory]

I looked back at my overdue books tag and wow I haven’t updated this since february. rough!

as a reminder, since it’s been ages: I’m reading along with a podcast called “overdue”, where they read one book per episode, and I rank the books and blog thoughts after each ten books.

I have been reading plenty since february, with occasional long stretches where I got stuck on this or that book. what held this post up specifically was how hard it was to get my hands on P.F. Kluge’s Eddie and the Cruisers, so I ended up reading farther ahead rather than delay things while I pursued Kluge’s book.

this is books 31-40. I am almost done 41-50 and might even be able to post thoughts later today, latest tomorrow, on books 41-50.

1. The Color Purple by Alice Walker

2. Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne

3. You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers

4. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

5. The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

6. The Crucible by Arthur Miller

7. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

8. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

9. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

10. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- I find Sherlock Holmes to be a very dependable kind of read. I know exactly what I'm getting into. It's never really going to surprise me, but it's also never going to be a chore. Love a whodunnit, especially when I don't know who, uh, dunnit. It's not necessarily ACD's fault that I'd already guessed most of the plot developments before they arrived (e.g. who the other person living on the moor was -- come ON, it's a sherlock holmes book! Of course he's around here somewhere), since it's one of the most adapted stories ever, so I probably picked up on that stuff unwittingly just because I haven't had my head under a rock for my entire life. I spent a lot of this book comparing it to adaptations, not of Hound specifically but of Holmes in general. OK, mostly the Moffat adaptation and House MD. Why did we have to decide as a society that Holmes is an unrepetent asshole, the real version wasn't half as bad as the 21st century versions, jeez Louise.

11. Life of Pi by Yann Martel

12. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

13. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde -- This is tricky because it's a well-crafted, well-written book about a lot of unpleasantness about unpleasant people. There aren't any likeable characters in Dorian Gray and I don't think there's meant to be, so it's hard to wield any objective criticism about that. Dorian is not someone I really wanted to spend much time with, and he doesn't really compensate by being exactly interesting. The opposite of most compelling lead characters, I kept hoping he would finally answer in some way for being such an awful brat, and then the universe kept arranging itself around him for it all to work out (the most egregious example being the accidental shooting of James Vane). Which is an implicit part of the premise, I suppose, so again, not like it's an objective fault. It was frustrating, though. I don't usually comment on the Overdue podcast episodes here, but I found it hilarious that the hosts talked about seeing the gay influence only with the knowledge of Wilde's own orientation -- what are you TALKING about, this is the gayest book I have EVER READ. Not always in an enjoyable way, though? I don't like m/m age gaps and the face that much of the "admiration" was directed from adult men to the 20-yo (or 20-yo-looking) Dorian Gray was not my favourite. Also must mention the epigrams -- so many epigrams! They were fun to start off with but I got tired of them, the way it seemed that Lord Henry only ever spoke in epigrams. This is not how people speak.

14. A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J Gaines

15. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James

16. A Visit From the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan -- This was definitely a weird read, and it took me ages to get through it. As in, even longer than it took me to get through Fifty Shades of Grey. That's not necessarily indicative of the amount of joy I ultimately got out of it, mind you. I was just initially very turned off by the concept -- I was into the book when I thought it was about a kleptomaniac record company assistant person, and then less enthused when the focus shifted to her boss (inexplicably addicted to stirring flakes of gold into his coffee to get his missing libido back), and then disoriented and annoyed when it shifted AGAIN to one of his acquaintances when they were in high school and mutually into the punk music scene. One, this disallowed any opportunity to grow attached to anybody, and two, I was pretty ready to add "music industry" to a list of novel backdrops that I don't give a fuck about. And that's honestly still true, and the head-hopping never stops throughout the book. It's an interesting gimmick, switching perspectives to a tertiary character in the last vignette's main character's story. A little Cloud Atlas-y, but without the embedded fictional status. But a gimmick is, at the end of the day, a gimmick, and ultimately the only benefit of the head hopping is that it allowed that old broken-clock-that's-right-twice-a-day phenomenon of happening to alternate chapters I didn't give a fuck about with some real gems. My favourite was the story about the aging pop star who, in one of the more larger-than-life chapters, is asked to be publicly seen with a genocidal dictator in order to improve his public image. I also enjoyed the homeless guy who gives his successful friend a fish gift to spite him and rich guy ways. And the two autistic siblings (the book says only one of them is autistic, but come on) who are obsessed with pauses in songs. And the whole chapter about the safari when somebody almost gets killed by a lion. All entertaining shit, if briefly. There's no emotional engagement to be had here, though.

17. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

18. World War Z by Max Brooks

19. Eddie and the Cruisers by P.F. Kluge -- The book that held everything tf up. I think I conceptualize this book more in terms of how hard it was to get my hands on versus any of the actual content, but that is in part because the content is pretty middle-of-the-road. It reads very much like a movie, and it’s trying so hard to evoke a certain era and a certain kind of cool that it’s easy to get a bit embarrassed on behalf of everyone involved. The dialogue is particularly movie-esque, especially at the beginning, before you get that Wordman’s whole shtick is that his words come out poetic without any real effort.  I liked its themes of the dangers of looking back on the past, and its embrace of the power of nostalgia. I did not care for its (era-appropriate, but still) homophobia and racism without in-text condemnation, and I didn’t like how it treated women like objects. There were a lot of “sexy lamp” woman characters in this. The central (... sorta?) mystery is very oddly handled, such that it took me ages to realize that the book was actually trying to portray a mystery and not just some guy exploring his past and reconnecting with old chums. I will say, part of the end was spoiled-but-not for me, to the book’s detriment, in that I saw the concept for the movie adaptation’s sequel (in which Eddie is not dead after all??) and thought it was just the sort of ridiculous premise for a straight-to-video sequel. And then the book started hinting that Eddie genuinely wasn’t actually dead, and I was so incredulous that it tainted my enjoyment even when it all turned out to be a purposeful misdirect.

20. The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr & E.B. White

21. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

22. No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre -- I love a play, and I'm such a sucker for a high-concept, dialogue-heavy play that gets across a thought-provoking idea in a relatively short amount of time. While reading this, I found myself most engaged with trying to test the validity of the concept as an effective form of hell. Where it falls down, I think, is with Inez -- Inez is the primary source of mental torture for the other two, but more notable to me is that she seems to have been let off easy in terms of her own torture. Her torture seems to be... the presence of straight romance? Which, as a fellow gay, I get it, but if the presence of straights is hell then that says some dark shit about day-to-day life.

23. Battle Royale by Koushun Takami -- This book was gripping but not particularly good. I think its biggest detractor for me is that it's very gory, to the extent that I wondered on several occasions whether the author might have a snuff fetish. That's what it read like, it read like the snuff fetishist fantasy of a teenage boy. The cast is way too big, with the bulk of the scenes far too easy to excise without impact on the rest of the story, simply by reducing the initial class size from 42 to something more manageable. This made it seem even more like the point of the book was to read about kids dying, because with most scenes, you know they're not a main character nor one of the main antagonists so you know the scene will probably end with them dying, with a lovingly phrased description of what their eyeball looks like when it's split open, or something. All the talk about schoolboy/girl crushes made it very tricky to relate to pretty much any of the characters, not only as a 30-yr-old aro but just because a lot of characters had crushes on other students that they'd never been seen to interact with, yet their primary emotional connection is often to this off-screen person that they think is good-looking. Very hard to give a shit about any of that. The use of rape as drama was awful, and the book is pretty homophobic -- my favourite (in that I hated it) detail in that vein is that the only openly gay character has the skill of being stealthy because he has experience in stalking all his unrequited crushes. Predatory gay trope, hoorah. Anyway, I did find this book entertaining but there was a lot wrong with it.

24. Dune by Frank Herbert

25. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum

26. Tiny Alice by Edward Albee

27. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

28. Medea by Euripides

29. Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare

30. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

31. The War of The Worlds by HG Wells

32. Don't Go Back to School by Kio Stark -- This is the perfect example of why it can be silly, at times, to read through someone else's to-read list, as I am doing with this project. 'Don't Go Back to School' is not for me. I'm in healthcare, for which not going to school is not an option. To be a speech-language pathologist, you have to get a master's in speech-language pathology. That is in no way optional. So I spent the bulk of this book feeling very much like the author and the interviewees were talking to somebody else, and I just happened to be listening in. I got through it by thinking of my sister, who at the time of reading this was briefly considering going back to school; and of thinking of a tiny corner of my mind that admitted that I might not want to be a speech-language pathologist my entire life -- I could go into writing, or sound engineering, or something to do with computer hardware? Nothing immediate. Anyway, all of these interviews are all saying basically the same thing, all of which are summed up in the introduction, and the rest of the book is just kinda... proof? Like, here, look at these twenty or so people who made it without going back to school. You can do it too! Ironically the most useful part of the book is the only part I did not really read, i.e. the resource charts at the end.

33. Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger -- Even though the short story 'Franny' and the novella 'Zooey' are very closely related -- about the same characters, with the latter closely following the former chronologically, so it reads like the very long cold open to a book with one relatively short chapter followed by one ridiculously long one -- I do kinda wish that I'd let myself rank the two parts separately. Franny, I enjoyed pretty OK. I was enjoying the criticism of Lane, with all his pretentious ways and his pointless cynicism, and Franny's inner turmoil was interesting even if I did not really understand the root of it. 'Zooey' has a lot of the same ideas but spread a lot thinner and with a lot of time spent with the truly unpleasant Zachary "Zooey" Glass. He's such a bully, he's awful to read. He couldn't hope to win any sympathy from me once he called his poor mum "Fatty". The characters are so wrapped up in academia and I could not give two fucks about academia now that I'm out of it. All the religion talk totally lost me. And of course, a classic Salinger complaint: nothing fucking HAPPENS.

34. The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett -- ... Huh? OK, so. Stream-of-consciousness really isn't my thing. I will say, I liked the rhythm of the writing in The Unnamable, and there were stretches of this where I was starting to form an idea of what was going on at the given moment and quite liking it -- I liked the whole part where the entity is living in a jar or pot or whatever and Madeline is the only person who knows it's there, it reminded it me of what it would be like if Small Gods by Terry Pratchett had a really directionless prequel. And then, of course, that plot is abandoned mid-thought. There are large chunks of this that I couldn't tell you anything about because they were so vague and so ill-defined that they really just went in one ear (... eyeball?) and out the other. This only ranks as high as it does because it's pretty short so it didn't take much just to power through it.

35. The Stand by Stephen King -- I've been waiting so long for the right opportunity to really, properly rant about this book that I'm a bit panicky now that the time has come around to do it. A huge factor in how this has been ranked hinges on how long it was -- it might (MIGHT) have ranked above Antony and Cleopatra if it were half the length. But as it is, I read the full-fledged 90s version (if you didn't know, there are two versions of The Stand, one that is set in the 70s and one that is set in the 90s and is about 400 pages longer) and it's just. It's so fucking long. It's two Harry Potter 5s end-to-end. It is inexcusably long, and the greatest argument I've ever seen for the necessity of editors in the publication process. More than that, it's the greatest argument I've seen for the necessity of a second draft, because honest to god, this monster reads like a first draft. All the other books I've read for this project before, whatever their faults, still feel like on the level of the writer's process, at the very least they've been through a couple of drafts. This does not, it truly doesn't. I was pretty embarrassed for King at multiple points reading this, with the sort of second-hand embarrassment I would get first-hand if someone dug out one of my old unfinished novels and published it. It's THAT unpolished. I'll list a couple of its sins to get them off my chest: - It's racist -- This has already been said by people much more informed than I, but yeah. Pretty dang racist. Mother Abigail is the epitome of the "magical negro" trope; the black junta sequence is a whole big barrel of YIKES so egregious that "big barrel of YIKES" doesn't really do it justice; too many pointless invocations of the N word to count; and what exactly is the fucking point of making Larry a guy who sings like a black guy but... is not a black guy? Just write a black character instead of bending into pretzels making the character white, what's wrong with you? - It's sexist -- I was pretty sure for most of the book that this is a novel that hates women -- oh Rita, you deserved so much better -- but what really clinched it was a) the fact that the story never checks in with Frannie and Lisa once while the arbitrary group of white dudes treks over to Nevada, and b) the fate of Nadine, whose whole character arc leads up to her being raped into catatonia and turned into essentially a walking womb. - Lazy plotting is wrapped up in incredibly clunky religious allegory -- And it's barely allegory, King just comes out and says "Mother Abigail represents good and talks to god, and Flagg represents evil and maybe he's a demon or the devil or something idk". There are multiple points in the story where King just explicitly tells the reader what plot points or characters "represent" according to the intended reading, and that's really embarrassing. Most of the plot does not seem have its own internal reality or logic, things just happen because King needs them to happen, and then he blames it on quasi-supernatural plot elements. I hope that if he had run through a couple more drafts this might have been a facet which was ironed out, but maybe not. And of course, this is all capped off by a pretty literal deus ex machina with God actually intervening and blowing up the bad guys. - It's also fatphobic (exhibit A: Harold and how his improving estimation in the eyes of the BFZ rises is paralleled by him losing weight) and homophobic (Harold may be a lot of things, but at least he isn't a queer, huh? Also Stu being a complete fucking moron about lesbians and the narrative/other characters entirely failing to set him straight on that.) It's nooooot gooooood, it's a really shitty book. I will say that I liked the first third (i.e. the progression of the epidemic) a lot more than I liked the rest of the book, but the good will built by the first third was completely lost several hundreds of thousands of words later. This was the first book where I started to question whether I really wanted to continue with this project, or at least whether I could rationalize a DNF when I really couldn't stand (oho) to continue reading. But I finished it anyway. And it sucked.
