Thanks for holding down the fort brother 🫡 Great episode, not sure if I could have helped improve it tbf 😅

i love this video so much

I have a horrible habit of binge reading a single series for months on end and then STOPPING right before the ending and will sit on picking it back up for many more months.

Brainy Starfish

Symmetrical intelligence

Wow that Simak book is indeed beautiful! Good plan to get some bookish momentum going.

I had trouble imagining what a Tour De France Tag might be like 😅

Now that is a proper SFF TBR! With a little Judge Dredd as a cherry 🍒 on the top 👌

The answer’s easy: you can tell you have nothing up your sleeves if you’re in the nip…

I can absolutely relate to you! I never stick to my TBR, that’s why I just stopped bothering with them. Also been in a massive reading slump but trying to get out of it! Wishing you the best of luck with finishing your TBR 🥳

Lol that reminds me of Sally Forth by Wallace Wood. On the first page or so when she’s of into space she takes her clothes off and walks naked for not only the rest of the story but also in the two following comics as well. Yes when you go off into space you have to be naked

Hi, thanks for doing the tag. I’ve not read that Priest book - so on the TBR it goes 😂 bonus points for the Mercx biography- Chapeau!

Hi pal, just about to start work but I saw you were going live 👋

That artwork is insane 😍 We’ll have to put our heads together and give the people what they have not asked for but will get anyway 😆. I can probably record this weekend mate 👍

Great stuff!

I discovered your channel through this video. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Alternate reality fiction 🧐

Thanks for the tag: I did this one a while back but enjoyed your choices. The Norman Wisdom/Albania always makes me smile, but I feel sorry for them that this was their height of comedy (and their view of the UK)…

Absolutely love Excalibur! I agree it's the best Arthurian adaptation.

I love the movie Contact. I'm a huge Jodi Foster fan. Thanks for the tag. I'll get right on it.

Albanian Norman Wisdom fans 😆😂🤣

I remember New Milton. I often holidayed about half a mile down that beach in Highcliffe in the 80s.

Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. Good luck with the channel.

🤣

The section with the living city, I've discovered, was originally its own short story. Before I even read Dimension of Miracles, I picked up an old copy of Galaxy Magazine that contained Sheckley's City of Dreams, Feet of Clay. I didn't read it until after I then got through Dimension of Miracles, and found it to be essentially identical, save for the introduction, which instead involved Carmody deciding to move there. I think it works better in the new context, where Carmody's immediate distaste for the city's antics makes more sense.

I forgot how long we ran on this one 😅

Always been curious about the Dorsai books. Oddly I've never seen Stalker either. Loved the Fletch books. ...will watch the rest later! Nice to hear you chatting.

You are going to love Roadside Picnic. Some nice pickups there!

I’ll sit on Discord with you pal 🫡

I think books are worth the money to get classic artwork etc. Not much difference to collecting antiques. I remember Maze of Death being great.

I’m ready to go on roadside picnic 🫡. That copy of Shadow of the Torturer 😮 how you managed to get one with an unbroken spine!?! I think that 85’ copy of Man in a High Castle might be the best I’ve seen yet 😍.

I'm probably not the first to say this, but from a visual point of view I think there's a good analogy with physical music formats, with hardbacks being the LPS of the book world, trade paperbacks the CDs, and mass market paperbacks the cassette tapes. In my view, the middle item is the least appealing aesthetically.

Excellent!

That was great how the story of the escapade was set against the verse.

reading a translation is like taking a shower with a raincoat on

Apologies for my Dogs deciding to Bark and whine so much, it's not a normal occurance and hopefully just a one off. I hope it didn't interfere with the conversatioo too much. Obviously Mrs BAFTD was trying her best but as she has a disability couldn't even take them out for a walk.

Thanks for talking about these. Read 2 or 3 of them back when virtual reality was the rave a la Lawnmower Man. The setting let the authors play around with several different genres which made for fun reading.

This has a great premise 👌

This is making me nostalgic for those early moments in the story 😊. I have to say your comments on the gender dynamics at play in the world are spot on 👌. It is so interesting to have a matriarchal society and along with Jordan’s scandalously underrated prose is a real highlight for me.

She is beautiful 😍 You just need your Shar Pei to get you some Sharpe, eh?
