A curated booklist? What I really like? Besides my own?
Practical Demon-keeping
(Christopher Moore) here
“Practical Demon-keeping was a late read for me, and a recommendation by a professional peer. It opened me up to the world of that author, but more so, I found it as a stand-alone bit of new age meets classical inspiration.”
This is Shakespeare
(Emma Smith) here
“Not comprehensive, but as a guideline to the more popular texts, plays, of Shakespeare? It’s a handy reference. This is Shakespeare is certainly one of my favorites sources.”
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
(Hunter S. Thompson) here
“As an introduction to the works and worlds HST? Possibly some of his finest work. The old blurb used to read, something like, ‘A savage journey into the heart of the American Dream,’ and that sums it up.”
Florida Roadkill
(Tim Dorsey) here
“Florida Roadkill was the first successful novel of Tim’s canon, introducing a character who ran throughout the entire line. Biting satire, a genuine love of place, and an encyclopedic knowledge of useless yet important Florida travel trivia.”
Vigil
(George Saunders) here
“Just read this as a library book, and really think I liked it. At this point, one of my top new books for this year, a meditation on living and death.”
Marcus Aurelius
Meditations here
Annotated Meditations here
“An old mentor-like feller first recommended Marcus Aurelius, and ever since, I’ve found it useful for inspiration and solace — especially in time like these.”
