Listening to the audiobook of Andy Serkis reading The Fellowship of the Ring is actually becoming a chore! It’s been decades since I originally read the actual book and I’d forgotten all about the songs throughout. Hate to leave a book unfinished though so I’ll plough through the last 3 hours. Then decide whether I can bear The Two Towers and The Return of the King during my post-op recovery when I won’t be able to read anything.

I finished: Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang

While I enjoyed the romance and the politics, I didn't connect to the cooking or the sci-fi.

Even before the cooking turned grotesque, it didn't speak in a language I understood, and when I understood it felt blunt.

Same thing for the science, it didn't seem to add up in any meaningful way. It's there as setting.

I'd recommend reading The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem.

It tackles the same subject but it a more convincing way. Though it doesn't deal as much with issues of race, feminism and lgbtq.

Reminder that if you want to hear me perform the voice of a 6'5" mountain man, I do that in "Scar" by Kelsie Calloway. In real life I'm a tiny woman! But I also have opera training, and that makes all the difference when I'm voicing burly men. 💪

You can hear him make his first appearance a the end of the attached sample.

A kindle displays the cover for Scar, by Kelsie Calloway, Narrated by Eden Cavell. The female protagonist, Marilyn, describes her arrival in Alaska. She hears a rumbling in the distance, when an angry, burly mountain man interrupts her with "Jesus H. Christ." The audiobook is also available through Amazon as an ebook, at the same link.

YAY! Praise for Pass the Salt is rolling in! I received a few questions about the audiobook. I wasn't able to find an audiobook publisher that wanted to produce this so if you want an audiobook, buy the eBook or give me money to make the audiobook happen. The eBook is DRM free! https://compassivistepublishing.com/product/pass-the-salt/ @bookstodon

Starting very soon over on https://www.twitch.tv/Chilliteracy Sam will be reading you some more writings by Mark Twain! Come on by and get yourself cosy!
