Just started reading "The Three-Body Problem" series by Cixin Liu, in prep for the new Netflix Show of the same name. It comes out in March I think so I have some catching up to do before then😅

Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier

Not a long book, but a really good companion to the final season of TP.

And when you introduce her to Twin Peaks, you can tell her what's going on when it gets weird and confusing.

Wait, you think I know what's going on when it gets weird and confusing? I'm not sure David Lynch even knows what's going on when it gets weird and confusing...

You read the book.  You have all the answers now.  You're like the SM of Twin Peaks.

I'm counting on you.

I genuinely do not know how to respond to this. I'll have to rewatch all of Twin Peaks, maybe Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, and then get back to you.

The Secret History of Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier are both definitely very interesting reads and I'd highly recommend the both, but I'd add that they definitely come across more as Mark Frost's sole take on Twin Peaks, rather than Lynch's (much like how Fire Walk With Me was all Lynch, sans Frost). It's absolutely a valid take, but it is worth stating that the books do have a different flavor from (and some [very intentional] discrepancies with) the show. The books are much more rooted in "real world" history, myths, and belifs, and feel more tangible, almost like something akin to The X-Files-esque conspiracies than the total dream logic of the show and Lynch's work in general.

Borne by Jeff VanderMeer

Not super far into it, but this is a compelling sci-fi yarn so far.

Tried it ten years ago and kind of let it slip. Just over halfway through and enjoying it.

Just finished reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy and Hiroshima/Nagasaki by Paul Ham.
Currently coming to the end of the audiobook "The Ruins" by Scott smith.

In the mood for something a little more light hearted now.

Do you prefer one or the other? I found I liked the book a lot more.
