I am several Pendergast novels behind myself. I tend to wait a few years until I have four or five unread, then binge them like I'm a college student with a bottle of cheap Canadian whiskey.

I loved his novel "Dark Matter".

Now onto Weird Talers: Essays on Robert E Howard and Others, by Bobby Derie
Clint, solid/concise review. So it was published in 2019, and has a CD for audio? No table of contents? Weird

I have some of the Corum books - should get around to reading those myself!

Highly recommended -- I think I actually like Corum better than Elric.

I enjoyed the Count Brass series some years ago so I expect that the Corum books would be good too. I only ever read the first Elric book and that was probably two decades ago!

Got a bunch of "Ace Doubles" both stuff I have read like Antropol/The Time Mercenaries and lots I'd never seen till I studied covers on Pixiv for art practice.
And The King of the Swords, the last of Moorcock's first Corum trilogy, has been started. I love these books!
Decided it was finally time to read John M. Ford's The Scholars of Night, which has been sitting on my shelf for an embarrassingly long time.

Finished The Scholars of Night (which was great, and it's a darned shame that John M. Ford's books will likely never be reprinted) and started The Devil in a Forest by Gene Wolfe, which is at least sword & sorcery-adjacent, as I recall.

Starting The World's Desire by H. Rider Haggard and Andrew Lang, in which they wrote a sequel to The Iliad and The Odyssey.
