Arden Shakespeare is so detailed and fascinating. 160 page Introduction for this play.

Not sure if I am supposed to read this first, but I am. It’s a bit anticlimactic, it seems, but I like the tone.

Still amazing, and yet there is an underlying YA/softness going on... I like my eldritch terror more risky!

Stupendous. MacInnes is a brilliant and affective storyteller.

Again with the word usage. Sure, author-license and all, but I know no one used the word "fuck" before 1400AD.

The Hymn to Dionysus

A fun read, but I was a bit surprised by the use of the term "sock puppet" in the narrative. First use of the term is from the 1950s...

Damn I love learning things, even remembering things I knew but mentally misplaced or shunted aside for newer things! This book is awesome!!!

Any book that makes me add 4 more books - two by Enard - to my "need to read" list is wonderful :)

Incredible! Possibly better than his "A Brief History of Seven Killings"...

There goes my Sunday! This book is amazing and I will be reading it instead of eating, probably.

I DNF-ed this years ago and cannot think of why. I had forgotten how muscular James’ writing is, it swarms and muscles the page.

Jim
Jim is on page 21 of 201 of Mercia's Take
Stellar writing, but the dialogue is heavy and the dialect, while interesting, mixes in with the narrative awkwardly.

Rather mundane as of this page… I like the writing style and hope the narrative widens a smidgen.

Skip on the untranslated Irish, please. Or footnote its meaning? Instead of adding colour, it adds frustration.

i have been noticing quite a number of reviewers can't distinguish between a review and a whole book summary...

Just an absolute gem!
Subtly funny, knowingly intelligent, slightly creepy, rather offbeat, and just a fucking blast to read! Maybe it’s my age, or my sense of humor, or my brains, or my smartassness, but I loved every page of this book.
