The Moth Keeper: (A Graphic Novel) | K. O'Neill

I wanted to like this book, but I was bored and just couldn't stay focused on it. I loved the symbolism it brought in and the journey of self-discovery the character went on, but it wasn't enough to make me enjoy the story.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Novel | George Lucas, Campbell Black, Lawrence Kasdan

I wasn't going to participate originally, because I didn't want to rack my brain for 80's pop songs, but I thought of a category I could narrow down enough, soundtrack scores 😁

🎷 Gabriel's Oboe by Ennio Morricone from The Mission
🐍 Theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark by John Williams
🦇 Theme from Batman (1989) by Danny Elfman

TheBookHippie John Williams is fantastic! 7h

CatLass007 I‘m not familiar with The Mission. Was it based on a book? I think you‘ve done an excellent job of narrowing down your category. I‘m fairly certain that if I started thinking of music from the 70s or 80s or any other decade, I‘d have those songs running through my head for the rest of the year. John Williams‘ Raiders of the Lost Ark theme is very memorable. But I remember very vividly sitting in the theater watching the maze that became (cont)⬇️ 7h

CatLass007 the Batman symbol and almost physically being pulled in by the music. Not long ago I was having a conversation with my brother about that scene and I said something about Seal singing Kiss from a Rose for the movie and he had no idea who or what I was talking about. Everyone thought Michael Keaton was going to be a terrible Batman, but he was fabulous! 7h

The Fox Wife: A Novel | Yangsze Choo

pick

I was SO excited to get my hands on a new book by Yangsze Choo, since I loved THE NIGHT TIGER. In THE FOX WIFE, Choo draws on the Chinese mythology of foxes to tell a compelling, lyrical story of Snow, a fox in a revenge mission, and Bao, an investigator of mysterious deaths that may be the work of a fox. With an evocative atmosphere and complex characters but deliberate pacing, this is a book to sit down with in long stretches and get lost in.

The Truth | Terry Pratchett

pick

Even better the second time.
Sharp satire that never forgets to be understanding about humanity's flaws, and their potential for growth.
Fantastical shenanigans certainly, but between William de Worde's epiphanies and Mr Pin and Mr Tulip's final reewards, this one hits hard between the laughs. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Undoubtedly this particular Discworld book ranks high in my affection because it has a decent amount of Vimes sprinkled in, and the tone of the confrontations between him and de Worde show the character of both men admirably.
Side note: It tickles me how often Vetinari ends up in the damsel in distress role in some fashion in the Discworld series overall given his fearsome reputation. 8h

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I think Terry had his heart in the right place including all manner of people and other beings in this story and his picture of the grand city of Ankh-Morpork, but given its original publication date of 2000, it's not surprising that the characterization of the homeless group including a disabled man and various people with glibly described or undiagnosed mental illness played for laughs feels insensitive nearly a quarter of a century later. 8h

julesG I think TP was aware of his glibness. It feels done on purpose to me. 3h
