life reading writing 5 comments may 28 2024 books i read 2023 hey pals i m here posting my belated reporting and reflection on the books i read in the last calendar year i don t have it in me to be overly fun and creative about how i share my list with you i think this will just be a dutiful reporting for posterity s sake that s because 2023 was the worst year of my life to date and walking back through it sucks my dad died last year he was only 66 years old it was traumatic for my sisters and i who planned on having him in our lives a whole lot longer than we did he was an incredible dad and my earliest memories of loving reading all start with him so there are quite a few raw and exposed nerves i have to be mindful of i want to write about what happened and my grief experience and i think i will eventually but i m not ready to just yet there s still too much pain and frankly bullshit from bullshit people who have arrested my grief and made it impossible to freely express any sorrow or give an authentic retelling of what happened without feeling the sting of reprisal and further oppression somehow i was able to read 26 books this past year that s actually 3 more than in 2022 surprisingly a year when i was a normal non profoundly sad person who could do life maybe i should start tracking page numbers per book too so i can compare number of books against number of pages read but would that just be taking data analytics too far should i be thinking about what doing that might mean for future generations of anal retentive readers hmm i see the quandary pandora found herself in starring down that box here s the visual of my list and the re listing of my visual list that s more fit for human eyes manhunt by gretchen felker martin jan 10 a sliver of darkness by c j tudor jan 16 based on a true story by norm macdonald jan 22 the pallbearers club by paul tremblay jan 30 fleishman is in trouble by taffy brodesser akner feb 5 vengeful by v e schwab feb 20 i

nov 13 the clementine complex by bob mortimer nov 20 for you and only you by caroline kepnes nov 25 chasing the boogeyman by richard chizmar nov 28 home body by rupi kaur nov 29 goblin by josh malerman dec 27 milk fed by melissa broder dec 29 lots of the usual suspects here stephen king c j tudor josh malerman caroline kepnes and grady hendrix i started the year hungry reading voraciously march was a stellar month for me with 7 books read i got sucked into a sappy and saccharine sweet teen romance trilogy by jenny han of to all the boys i ve loved before renown which made me feel vicariously carefree and stupid for a short time the main character is all oh whichever cute boy will i choose who will i spend summer getting groped by in the ocean the sort of youthful escapism i really needed then my dad was hospitalized in april i spent all of april and may in turmoil run ragged trying to juggle work home my dad and life in general i was going to visit with him evenings after work a few days a week and every weekend i was working modified hours 7 30am 3 30pm every day so i could have time to do the hourlong drive to the hospital grab some food and have at least 2 hours of visiting time with him on weekday evenings i was spending as much of the day on saturday and sunday as i could visiting with him as well which meant way less time at home with woody who could feel the strangeness of the arrangement but couldn t understand it so i wasn t reading much of anything here and there but my heart wasn t in it the books i read in may were distractions at best although i love c j tudor and the drift was a good read i didn t give it the attention it deserved and then my dad passed away on june 4th the world collapsed and nothing made sense crappy selfish asshole people made things unnecessarily difficult for my sisters and i in the grieving process it was a black summer it continues to be black days some of the time but after a long contemplative summer i did start feeling less like i was pantomiming life and more like i was beginning to actively engage it again reading continued to meander all through the summer and didn t really pick up again until late into autumn i finished fairy tale by stephen king on my dad s birth date july 15th i need to stop for a moment to talk about fairy tale i was looking forward to reading it and given the bleak phase of life i found myself in i thought it would be the perfect escape from reality but oh my god it was a real chore to pick this book up during the whole first half of it steve spent so much fucking time hundreds of pages just taking the reader through slow grinding repetitious nothingness like oh my fucking god i get it the kid likes the dog the kid spends time with the old man yes they have a special bond get on with it nobody in the editing process could relay to him how very dull and tedious the whole front half of the book is it could have been so much better had they just tightened up the initial story also i m sorry but steve cannot convincingly write in the voice of a teenager anymore this kid is supposed to be 17 years old but he curses and uses the common expressions of a 65 year old man eventually the story did get good though and this book wound up being something i could throw myself into as a welcome distraction on what should have been my dad s 67th birthday you know what was a really good book fleishman is in trouble that book was so engaging right from the very first sentence through to the last i loved it i fucked up though because i had no idea there was such a book before i started watching the fx series based on it and i would always prefer to read the book before watching the thing that was made based on the book i found that show while idly scrolling one night then binged it hard and was obsessed with it after that i had to read the book immediately i needed to compare to the source material and sink deeper into the story it was a deeply affecting read because it was so relatable and the characters were all so real to me i m at a very similar stage of life i get the existential mid life confusion dread and disillusionment that toby rachel and libby are all having so it reeled me in and touched a special place in my heart i recommend this book please read it then watch the show learn from my mistakes i bounced back in november and managed to read 5 books that month maybe it helped that it was an especially grey and miserable fall up here in canada so it just felt nice to be cozied up at home with a book or maybe i was just making really good picks because i loved my salinger year the clementine complex and chasing the boogeyman plus i got my hands on the newest instalment in the you series by caroline kepnes for you and only you which i gobbled up compulsively i love that creepy stalker weirdo joe he is such an interesting character because he is a legit psycho but he s convinced himself that he s just a sweet romantic idealist with so much love to give i m always excited to find out what he s up to and who he s tormenting chasing the boogeyman was insane i could not put that book down but i was also so creeped out by it it got under my skin in the best possible way i don t want to spoil even a little bit of it for you but if you re interested in a story about a small tight knit town being rocked by a series of heinous unexpected murders in the 80 s then you should read this book speaking of creepy things i need to talk about birdman for a moment this is a novel that was written in the 90 s and it s the first in a series about a homicide detective who solves grisly crimes at first i was quite enjoying it because i do like to read about murder and psycho killers and all kinds of wicked stuff like that i like solving a mystery as we go and trying to guess the twist but as the story started to unfold it got more and more sick and gratuitously violent about midway through the book i thought to myself this could be a good new series to get into but as we got closer and closer to the fucked up ending i knew i didn t want to come here again and a quick google summary of the second book s plot told me the subject matter was exponentially more dark and twisted going to places too gritty and vile for me so i noped myself out after book one and i won t be looking back we sold our souls wins a special nod for having one incredibly intense scene that actually made me physically uncomfortable a really spectacular moment of psychological and physical horror that overlapped and put me mentally right into the shoes of the protagonist as she was making a desperate bid for escape i wanted her to get away so bad but the walls were closing in literally and i didn t think she d make it even though we all know the hero can t die mid book i actually squirmed in discomfort and got a bit panicked the tension was just too much i love grady hendrix for that exact reason he is such a masterful builder of suspense he is getting better and better with every publication i ve become a lifelong fan and devotee of his work and a tip of my cap to the one and only the funniest person i wish i had the chance to know in real life norm macdonald for writing the most batshit ridiculous memoir i ve ever read he was such a special treasure don t expect to learn anything at all about norm don t expect anything to make sense or be coherent or literary just laugh it s what norm would have wanted i miss him and i didn t even know him i hope he s resting in hilarity i miss what he brought to the world overall i d say it was a good year of reading very few duds in the mix if any at all this year i m working towards reading way more regularly and i m pursuing a bigger goal i want to read a minimum of 50 books in 2024 and i m very well underway attacking that goal i ve already read 27 books so far this year one more than in all of 2023 so i think i m off to a great start i should be able to crush this goal with ease as long as there s lots of reading material close at hand and while i ve got my nose buried in a book i feel like i m subconsciously working through my grief and healing this is my safe happy place right now lovingly enveloped in the fictions and stories of the intrepid heroes legendary iconoclasts quirky characters and kindred spirits who i root for and admire i never feel alone in the embrace of good storytelling so that s where i ll be until next time crack a book and keep your noses clean and please for me if you have an incredible dad or father figure in your life that you re still lucky to have with you tell him you love him just because life is precious and a damn good dad is a rare precious thing pass the good vibes on share on facebook

books i read 2022 hey pals what up 2022 is over bringing almost 3 complete years of pandemic life to an end i m happy to say that my family and i have embraced a lot more normalcy this past year than in the years prior we ve started being more open socially meaning we re not living in hermetically sealed isolation any more woody man is in daycare and actually experiencing day to day life and learning with other children he s taken to it like a duck to water he loves going every day and he s learning a lot it s been so good for him and us i ve even eaten pizza at an actual pizza joint again it was glorious double cheese and pepperoni freshly baked with a crisp and fluffy crust the stuff my dreams are made of pizza perfection i m also very excited to report that i am still a functioning working adult who is able to read a book from time to time when there s time and very rarely is there time for anything other than sitting on my couch drooling mindlessly in front of the t v at the end of the day but that s okay i have a kid he s two and a half it s exhausting you work full time busting your butt every day and then you immediately have to shift into parent mode to be present and caring for your child while navigating a billion screaming toddler tantrums about a billion seemingly nonsensical things i m talking about the outright bawling of wildly unregulated emotions because the blue plate is in the dishwasher right now and he has to eat dinner off of the green plate instead it leaves you utterly exhausted in ways you can t comprehend unless you re in the parenting trenches too lots of you know exactly what i m talking about how it is at this stage there s cuteness and fun and laughter and hugs and hijinks galore but there s the real gritty and gruelling work of parenting day in and day out and those tantrums have made even the best of us seriously consider going out for a pack of smokes and never coming back all that to say that when i feel like i have remaining brain power leftover at the end of the day sometimes i put it towards reading and this is what i read this past year officially beastie boys book by mike d adrock january 2nd
