rec me books, o reading page?

[fiachairecht]

I like disastrous obsessive girls and unreliable narrators and settings-that-are-characters and psychological horror, among other things. non-dude authors preferred. the last book i finished was the haunting of hill house (shirley jackson), am currently reading the bear and the nightingale (katherine arden), next will probably be the traitor baru cormorant (seth dickinson).

also if you're wondering if i type the vast majority of my book-question posts on my phone while lying on the floor of my favourite indie bookshop you would be correct, excuse the typos my screen is too small to show me and autocorrect may catch and may make worse.

(the problem, you see, with dreamwidth moving so quickly these days, is that i keep forgetting who mentioned excellent-sounding books and then because i am bad at remembering to add them to my memories, i also forget where they are! and the last four pages of my reading page are all today!)

ETA: wow yes you all have super great taste and also apparently strong feelings on twin peaks? i have never seen the show but i am delighted by that spinoff discussion. i am definitely set for my next few library trips now :D

And like eight other things, but really you've just got to watch him try to sit in a chair for two consecutive minutes. (I genuinely don't know why Dana Ashbrook didn't have a much bigger subsequent career -- he just occupied space in the most exuberantly fantastic way.)

I feel like everyone from Twin Peaks who wasn't already a name should've been bigger after the show than they were. Though, wow, looking at IMDB, he did work a lot more than I realized (and was, surprisingly, in two eps of Psych, not just Dual Spires, the Twin Peaks homage episode).

I still need to watch the 25 years later sequel, because it was on a pay channel and I wasn't going to pay for Showtime for one series. But I think it hit Netflx?
