      Looks like we found said, 'savant director'!

      Your write up whet my literary curiosity way more than Wikipedia's, lol.  Checking into used copies now…

          Just read Hillbilly Elegy in a day and a half this past weekend.  Very interesting and easy read.  Without going into the political details I can see some folks getting quite upset with some of the content.  Highly recommend reading…...  Especially for the American folk on here.

            Just finished American Gods on a friends recommendation. Didn't love it, but wasn't bad. Just didn't really feel significant in any way. The characters may have learned something along the way, but I don't feel like I did.

              Equoid by Charles Stross. A novella you can read for free on Tor.com, set in the Laundry universe (which I really need to work through) about unicorns and Lovecraftian stuff.

              I'm about halfway through. Apparently it gets really twisted in a not-at-all-suitable for children manner.

                Just read "The Minority Report" and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed both, plus I now understand the meaning behind No Kipple!

                      This is a really interesting read, written as a novel about a guy who visits every Supreme store in the world, by a guy who did visit every Supreme store in the world. It’s a cleverly disguised study and commentary on the brand, and how it markets itself, or rather doesn’t, and stays relevant with almost slavish devotion from its customers.

                        Reading Pet Semetary on the Kindle and just bought this today. It is pretty much Sottsass’ complete works and a hard to find first edition. I’ve seen copies in the $800+ zone, but I found mine as NOS and it was on sale.

                            Written by Pussy Riot's singer about her time in the Russian correctional facility. Funny and brutal goes hand in hand.

                                    I finished the book yesterday night (the book would not let me sleep); it's very good. The writer is an excellent storyteller.

                                      Anyone read "Lost City of the Monkey God"?

                                      Great true adventure story about the effort to discover a pre-Columbian society's lost cities in the harshest rainforest in the world in Honduras. Hard to put down and some great characters.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          Impulse purchase from a couple weeks ago. Very good.

                                            The cover was attracting. Addictively readable…a bit wacky, but makes me laugh sometimes.
