Literacy and reading rates are declining sharper than I had anticipated, and those expectations were low to begin with.

oh no

Vignettes of a spider, zombie elves, an arcane-looking lamp.

I have been making my way slowly, but surely, through the catalogs of Percival Everett and Roberto Bolaño in recent months. If you haven't yet, check out "Erasure" by Everett" and "Nazi Literature in the Americas" by Bolaño.

Some really fantastic work in there, think you got the perfect artist on that one! Mark has quite the incredible portfolio, thanks that was a pretty fun rabbit hole to go down.

straight up only started gearing up on here because of books, but will say the ffxiv msq storyline is more fantastic than it has any right to be itself. savor it, wish i could go back and experience HW to EW as a brand new story just one more time.

some phenomenal writers over there!

so the cover on "even though i knew the end" is fantastic. If your design, NICE, if not DON'T LOSE THEIR CONTACT INFO!

New to book social media, liking it. Putting clips together from recent travels to practice some video editing. Read "Nazi Literature in the Americas" by Roberto Bolaño
