"Wilson was sucking on a cigarette as if it was a nipple and looking almost as unravelled as O‘Connell. Slocock decided he was going to be as much use on the mainland as a devout virgin at an orgy."

"His legs felt like kit-­bags full of suet and his throat was so raw that each breath was like swallowing a cheese grater."
Today in odd similes.

Michael_Gee This book is a bizarre, disgusting ride. Fun! 3y
Bertha_Mason @Michael_Gee I love it so much. The Thatcher hate is an extra bonus! I'm always down for Thatcher hate. 3y

One of the characters is a struggling writer of a mystery series and he quotes his main character at other people and it‘s so embarrassing. 🤦‍♂️

Second night in a row I can‘t sleep (😬) so thought I‘d join in for today‘s #curiouscovers. My current read + another recently purchased Valancourt book (I‘ve read two stories and am about to read a third, so far I love it!) + Geek Love, which aside from the new ones was the first book that popped into my head for its distinctive #orange cover.

Eggs Great choices and photo👏🏻📙🧡 3y
vivastory Did you notice that Chip Kidd slightly changed the design of the borzoi for Geek Love? 3y

Michael_Gee @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks wow! Congratulations! 😁😁 I do! In Missouri. 3y
Michael_Gee @vivastory Scott, I had to look up everything in your sentence (so, no, lol). I can‘t find a borzoi on my copy? 3y
Michael_Gee @Eggs Thank you! Thanks for the challenge! 3y
vivastory Following is a link with a side by side comparison of the traditional borzoi used on Knopf spines & the one designed by Kidd for Geek Love

Looking at beautiful women always cheered him up. Even at times like this when his bowels were playing up.

Michael_Gee @BookishMarginalia Right?! This book is so weird and funny but also SO gross and brutal. 3y
BookishMarginalia Ying and yang? 3y
Michael_Gee @BookishMarginalia I do love that balance! 3y

It had always been a matter of some pride to him that he suffered from athlete‘s foot. It confirmed his belief that within his bulky frame a potential athlete was waiting to get out.

Cathythoughts Love it … sounds mad 🙃 (edited) 3y
Michael_Gee @Cathythoughts So far it really is! 😳 3y

Very excited about this Valancourt book I received in the mail today! Love the orange cover and blurb “it will grow on you.” Fungi are amazing and also have so much horror potential so I‘m looking forward to this! 🍄☠️

khooliha Oh, that cover rules! 3y
Michael_Gee @khooliha Yes! It‘s like 88% of the reason I got it, lol 3y
khooliha @GhostStories Hopefully it lives up to it! 3y

There's some brutal scenes in this, don't read if you're squeamish; it's just ultra-violent at times. 😝

It reminded me of a lot of other stuff too - like I think this author was influenced by The Day of the Triffids, it just reminded me of that novel.

Reggie Well if Clive Barker blurbs it, it kinda has to get stacked. 5y

Looking through students plates from a few weeks ago and found this beautiful golden fungi growing ! 👩🏻‍🔬🧫

MicrobeMom Is it contamination or supposed to me growing? 5y
ashley_o13 @MicrobeMom We're pretty sure that it's supposed to be growing. The students did a microbial safari and swabbed something in the building! But it was on EMB and the professor that teaches the course thinks it's something they swabbed, but they only labeled it as "warm tray" so we have no idea what it came from. 5y
MicrobeMom Cool! Really pretty! 5y
ashley_o13 @MicrobeMom I know ! Fungi on the plate was golden yellow! I was shocked 5y

Don‘t let the title fool you, this is one of the scariest pandemic apocalypse novels you will ever read.
