23 books in 2023

I was tagged by @nikita-not-nikola to list 23 books I read in 2023. Fortunately I keep track of all the books I read so here's 23 books I enjoyed! (Some of these are re-reads because I've been slowly re-reading all the books on my shelf to determine whether to keep them). So in no particular order here it goes:

L'Odyssée d'Hakim by Fabien Toulmé (technically 3 books but I'm going to treat it as one)

Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente

All the Living and the Dead by Hayley Campbell

Maus by Art Spiegelman

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo

The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie

Help Fund My Robot Army (another multi-author anthology)

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Emotional First Aid by Guy Winch

Honourable mentions to The Unicorn's Beard, Running with Rats and To Clear the Air by Malcolm Schmitz, which are all short stories, so I didn't feel like putting them in the main list was quite right, but they are still all really excellent.

Going to tag @lovethatcoat, @soryualeksi, @bakomglaset, @ante--meridiem, @dachkammermusik, @octopuscato, @titaniumelemental and anyone else who feels like doing this!

#tag meme #I read 57 books last year and most of them were at least pretty good so it was hard to choose #I didn't necessarily pick the 23 I liked best in the end - I tried but not sure if I succeeded #But I would recommend all of the books I listed anyway!

Soul Coughing/ Jeff Buckley Rock the House

Great American Music Hall on Thursday

night (May 4, 1995)

By MTV News Staff

May 6, 1995

12:00 AM

Editor's Note: We found a pile of notes on the recent Jeff

Buckley/Soul Coughing concert scribbled by our business manager, Steve McConnell. They were almost unintelligible, but after hours and hours of deciphering, we were able to piece together the following report.

Listen to Soul Coughing's debut album, Ruby Vroom, and you'd think the New York-based quartet were beat poets messing around with samples. See them in person however, and it is clear that they are from the New York white-boy school of rap (think low-keyed Beastie Boys). That was the most surprising thing about their terrific hour-long performance at the Great American Music Hall on Thursday night (May 4).

"You all don't have to get up," said leader singer/rapper M. Doughty, as Soul Coughing took the stage. "I was kinda digging that campfire thing." He was directing his comments to the nearly 100 people sitting cross-legged on the floor of San Francisco's Great American Music Hall.

Ruby Vroom has received some remarkable (and well deserved) reviews. The New Yorker called it "one of the best records of 1994"; Details noted that "this is some serious boho, Dada shit." Live, the group more than lived up to such praise.

Soul Coughing is comprised of Sebastian Steinberg on upright bass; Yuval Gabay, drums; M'Ark De Gli Antoni, keyboards/samples; and Doughty on guitar and vocals. They emerged from the New York avant garde jazz scene (John Zorn gets a word of thanks in the album credits). Live, the group brought together elements of Morphine (the driving bass and narrative style), Digable Planets ( rap set to jazz samples) and the Beasties. But where Digable Planets come from the rap world and the Beasties arrived via punk, Soul Coughing bring a distinctive bohemian jazz sensibility to the mix.

At the Music Hall, they performed nearly the entire album. Highlights included "Casiotone Nation," "Mr. Bitterness," "Down To This" and the amazing "Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago," which included the line "San Mateo is in the house." After performing that song, noting the enthusiastic response, Doughty said, "I guess San Mateo is in the house."

Headliner Jeff Buckley was in fine form, performing one of the most rocking sets of his current tour (at least according to a fan who saw the last four shows), stretching out many of the songs and improvising. Buckley played a taped-up red Rickenbacker six string guitar; his voice sounded even more beautiful and emotional than on his debut album, Grace. At one point someone from the audience yelled, "Shonen Knife?" "OK," replied Buckley, then played two minutes of a Shonen Knife song while the rest of the band smirked. Half way through the set Buckley played a loud and raucous version of the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams."

[lesbian-boo-radley]

hi :) 4, 10, 15, 22, 27, & 49

Hiiii :)

4.) which television series do you use as a form of escapism? Depends on my mood. Usually it's Law and Order: SVU, Cold Case, or Criminal Minds, but if I want to force myself to be happy and laugh then it's an old show like M*A*S*H*, Golden Girls, or the OG Roseanne series. 10.) what’s one book you’d suggest every person should read? Smoke Gets In Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty. Has to deal with how we as a culture have become so disconnected from the process of dying and death, and how important it is to develop a healthy relationship with the concept of your own inevitable death.

15.) name one musical album that greatly impacted your life? why? This took a Moment to think of. For some reason I forgot the name of every album in existence ever. But it was definitely the album Toxicity by System of a Down. I was a super angry, angsty 14-year-old when it came out, and it was angry music, but the lyrics also had a LOT of deeper themes about things like mass incarceration, the CIA, the environment, police brutality, drug addiction, and scientific reductionism. I ended up reading the lyrics and then doing a lot of online independent learning while listening to that album front to back on repeat. 22.) what was your first cell phone? Oh god, some cheap little plastic thing I picked up a few weeks before I started college. 27.) your latest obsession? and why? I'm kind of in between obsessions at the moment. Do people in general count? I found this Youtube channel called The People's Profiles that does hour long docs about various infamous people throughout history, the good and the bad ones, and I've just been streaming through them. 49.) name a public figure you find to be overrated? why? Jared Leto. I just think, that for an actor who goes so unnecessarily hard on the in-character stuff, the characters that he plays should at least be good. But I feel like it's always just Jared, playing himself, playing a character. If that makes sense? TLDR Actor can't act imo.

88, 89, and 134 also i didnt see it but is there a book with Found Family 👀

Hi!!

88. a book that made you angry

OH BOY. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty is the most recent one. She's very adamant about how we're all being screwed over by a funeral industry that makes you pay thousands extra for things you don't need, tries to upsell you on your loved ones' final arrangements, etc etc. Just made me really angry and frustrated bc like, what a shitty thing to be trying to make a buck off of! and it made me realize there are so many things I don't want done with my body that are inescapable, because "dump me in the woods for the wolves and bears to eat, no formaldehyde, no makeup, do NOT try and squeeze my dead ass into those pantyhose for a viewing, thanks" is not acceptable in this day and age (at least the wolves and bears part).

89. a book that disappointed you

Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace. i'd had high expectations for it, but it just didn't live up to them lol. The writing style was very plain, and I just couldn't get into the story. Some of the worldbuilding really didn't make sense, but I wasn't intrigued enough to read on and find out what the explanations would be (if any). I gave it about 70ish pages but it didn't click.

134. unreccomend any book you like!

hmmmmm which one this time...

How about The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley? I'm still mad about one of the main characters being fridged, after being treated horribly for most of her life and being on the cusp of freedom. Also, the author could've had us follow things from Grace's perspective, but didn't, meaning a lot of the actually cool sci-fi stuff never got explored really in-depth. Also one of the MCs is extremely manipulative and does the thing where he sees the future but won't tell anyone outright, just tries to subtly manipulate them into doing what he wants (or just makes them guess) which is extremely annoying, both because it makes him kind of a gross love interest and also because the whole "I could tell you but why don't we play a game instead" bad communication thing is very annoying to read.

Found Family

the Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce (classic), and The Serpent Gates duology by A. K. Larkwood, and Ordinary Monsters by J. M. Miro, I think (I'm bad at remembering what books have found families and what ones just have Really Strong Friend Groups, but I'm pretty sure these qualify!

Rudolf Klein-Rogge in The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (Fritz Lang, 1933)

Cast: Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Otto Wernicke, Karl Meixner, Oscar Berege Sr., Theodor Loos, Gustav Diessl, Wera Liessem, Rudolf Schündler, Jim Gérald, Oskar Höcker, Theo Lingen. Screenplay: Fritz Lang, Thea von Harbou. Cinematography: Károly Vass, Fritz Arno Wagner. Art direction: Emil Hasler, Karl Vollbrecht. Film editing: Conrad von Molo, Lothar Wolff. Music: Hans Erdmann.

Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922) hardly needed a sequel, but the director makes it worth our while by adding sound to the concoction. Take, for example, the segue from the tick ... tick ... tick of the timer on a bomb to the chip ... chip ... chip of someone removing the shell from a soft-boiled egg. It's a witty touch that not only eases tension with laughter, but also demonstrates the prevalence of the sinister in everyday life. Hitchcock, it is often noted, learned a great deal from Lang. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) is more of a felt presence than a visible one in this version, confined as he is to an insane asylum where he supposedly dies, only to haunt not only the inmate Hofmeister (Karl Meixner) but also, and especially, the head of the asylum, Prof. Baum (Oscar Beregi Sr.), who is compelled to carry out Mabuse's plans for world domination. As in the 1922 film, there is a doughty policeman, Commissioner Lohmann (Otto Wernicke), who is determined to foil Mabuse's nefarious plans. Wernicke, whose character Lang brought over from M ( 1931), is not as hunky as the earlier film's von Wenk (Bernhard Goetze), so Lang and screenwriter Thea von Harbou add to the mix a young leading man, Gustav Diessl, who plays Thomas Kent, an ex-con who escapes from Mabuse's snares to aid Lohmann in trapping Baum in his efforts to fulfill Mabuse's plot. It's extremely effective suspense hokum, not raised quite to the level of art the way the 1922 film was, but still a cut above the genre. As is usually noted, this was Lang's last film in Germany. It was suppressed by the Nazis, ostensibly because it suggested that the state could be overthrown by a group of people working together, but perhaps also because of its suggestion that world domination might not be such a good thing.

Review: When the Kingdom’s most-wanted bandit, Flynn Rider, is running away he find’s a tower and hide there. In this tower lives a blond girl who has a very long hair and she’s trapped there by her “mother”: A lady who kidnapped her when she was a baby cause of her magical hair, that has the power of healing and becoming physically younger. The blonde girl, Rapunzel, always loved to see the “lights” that Gothel (the lady) have always told her that those lights are stars, but they actually floating lanterns, that her parents, the king and the queen of the Kingdom light up every year for their doughty, the Lost Princess. By then Repunze goes on an adventure to see the "Lights" with Flynn ride and her chameleon, Pasqual. Watch the movie to discover the end. This is my favorite princess movie in the whole world! The songs are perfect, the story is amazing and exciting and the scenes are all very pretty. It’s a really funny movie :)

Blurb:

If I'm going to rule, I'll need a queen.

Side by side, we will reign.

I was raised to be the heir of the Doughty crime family. My entire life was mapped out for me. But at eighteen, I was willing to throw it all away—for her.

Teigan, my angel, my childhood sweetheart, she gave me hope for a life of my choosing.

Until she broke my heart.

For ten years, I've thrown myself into the brutal world I was raised for, vowing never to open my heart to anyone ever again.

Then I found out Teigan had been taken, forced into the seedy underworld I hate.

Used and abused, she's being sold off like cattle. Despite hating her for breaking my heart, I have to save her—even if it means buying her myself.

When we're forced to live together, hiding from our enemies, haunted by the past, it's easy to remember why we fell in love.

Can we battle our demons together and come out stronger?

Or will our fears prevent us from finding our way back to each other?

Together We Reign is the final book in the Beautifully Brutal Series, and the other main books should be read first. It's a dark mafia romance that features scenes which may be triggering for some people. This book contains a broody, overprotective hero, sexually explicit situations, and strong language. It's a HEA.

This is a belter of a song.

M. Doughty (or is it pronounced Doh-erty) and BT with the song Never Gonna Come Back Down.

Highly recommend you check out Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved), such a beautiful song, and it also features JC Chasez of NSync on backing vocals too, you can't really hear as his vocals are layered with BT's.

(I often find myself listening to a range of different stuff when I'm working on stuff that I need to complete for college, this included and also some Slipknot and Groove Armada, and some old school jungle music).
