#HotTake 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. #TheLordOfTheRings#AndySerkis#audiobook
After approximately 11,000 days we're BACK with a Saturday stream! Sam is ready with a collected pile of Mark Twain short stories to read in your viewerly direction, starting right about now over on https://www.twitch.tv/Chilliteracy @bookstodon
A fellow social worker I knew from grad school shared this book on her Instagram story and recommended it. I was on a hold list for the ebook at my local library for weeks, but now, I have it. I’m also listening to the #audiobook read by the author.
I find I can't stomach most fiction anymore, especially anything written since about 1990. But Vanessa Chan's "The Storm We Made" is a powerful exception. Minutely and lovingly observed and the emotional punches it delivers are all earned and deserved.
It's set in #Malaysia in the 1930s during the British colonial period (when it was still called "Malaya") and the #Japanese wartime occupation of the 1940s, and its principal characters are Malay and Japanese. So right away that sets it apart from anything I've ever read before.
What's more, most of the principal characters from whose points of view we see the story are women and girls.
It is so rare, in #English language fiction, to have a glimpse into the dynamics of #Colonization when it's not practiced by a Western state.
The #Audiobook is beautifully narrated by Samantha Tan, a woman of #Asian ancestry.
Would love to hear #TootSEA thoughts on this book.
Starting in just a minute over at https://www.twitch.tv/chilliteracy,

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.

While I stopped being a young adult around the time I purchased glasses in order to be able to see small things up close, I am the perfect audience member for @pluralistic's brilliant "Little Brother".
Half "Nineteen Eighty-Four", half introduction to privacy and cryptography, half hacker manifesto, half teen romance, half historical account, one quarter nostalgia hit and five quarters thrilling adventure well read by Kirby Heyborne.
Wil Wheaton brings another thrilling @pluralistic book to life: "Red Team Blues".
As with previous books, the pleasure of hearing details of the specialised familiar both in the essential and cursory is balanced by the haunting anticipation of the inevitable savage beating of the protagonist for whom we've become fond.
Looking forward to episodes two - "The Bezel" - and three of the Marty Hench saga.
