Congrats on the new kitten, Theo. I look forward to reading Boys Life... eventually I've not been reading much, but I did finish Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and honestly I'd have to re-read it so I can make up my mind because so much passed me by. What I can say is its not my favourite McCarthy I've read so far, that's still The Road, but this is still one of the best books I've read all year. So sad to hear of his passing. I'm currently reading: *Historical-Fantasy* The Last Light of the Sun / Guy Gavriel Kay - I'm usually not very entertained by or interested in vikings in SFF settings but so far it's very good. *Historical-Fiction* Gates of Fire / Steven Pressfield (Re-read) - I'm halfway through my re-read and I'm loving even more. Pillars of the Earth / Ken Follett - It's a very long novel (just under 1100 pages) so I'm taking my time with it. *Thriller* American Psycho / Bret Easton Ellis - Weird that it's taken me this long to finally get to this since the film is one of my favourites and I've loved some of his other novels and short stories. I got to the point where i had too mamy Fantasy series ongoing, so I DNF'D everything. Im starting fresh. Only at most 2 but preferably 1 Fantasy series at a time from now on.

Beautiful Penny! Cats are so cool, I have 5. I'm currently reading Boys life for a second time, it is wonderful! It reminds me of Stephen King's story The Body which was the basis for the movie Stand By Me, a wonderful depiction of young boys of a similar time line. I'm also reading The Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage. There was a movie made from that recently too that was good. I just hit subscribe, been watching a few of your videos and I enjoy your style.

Hi Theo. Boys Life was my favorite read of 2022. I'd read it thirty years ago but the memory of it was mostly lost to me due to my brain injury. I've recently read two short stories from Dubliners by James Joyce ("The Dead" is a masterpiece) and have just begun an ARC for a new horror novel The Militia House by John Milas, due out in mid-July. So far it's good. Please give Penny a rub behind the ears for me. Happy reading.
