[@Flagg]Oh man, I am adding that Lake Monsters book to my to-read list. Which is now around...30-something books. Great! That second book seems like it's something I'd love to hear someone talk about, but would instantly glaze over if I ever tried to read it. What were you thinking about in terms of a second character?

[@Kingfisher]Complete disregard for the timeline. A quick Google search tells me that you read the third book first, not the second. But it looks like it's a crime fantasy novel, right? Huh! Never thought you'd be interested in that sort of thing. ;D

[@JulienJaden]Bill Bryson is my dude! I tried reading that book but it was during a time where I was so busy that reading anything cut into my very awful World of Warcraft relapse. You're listening to it again? Okay, I'm going to pick it back up. You should see if you can find an audio version of "A Walk in the Woods" by him.

Right, me. Okay.

1)If [@RedDusk] gives me a shout, I might have Valorie do a collab with Sander. Otherwise, I'm probably going to cool my heels for a minute before doing another solo post. I am very excited to see when our wonderful GM decides to surprise me and send that Irish monster-demon-alien lady after ol' Val.

2)I'm currently reading [url=http://www.amazon.com/The-Master-Margarita-Mikhail-Bulgakov/dp/0679760806]The Master and Margarita[/url] by Mikhail Bulgakov, which is a fun little story about the Devil visiting an atheistic, communist Moscow in the 1920s and pretty much just screwing people over. It's my first classic Russian novel I ever read so some of it is a little dense or mentions things I never heard of, but there is a nice little note section in the back to help explain what certain things meant. Plus, the concept and the story beats are just too cool.

I just finished [url=http://www.amazon.com/Here-Are-Young-Men-Doyle/dp/1632861909/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1453655771&sr=1-1&keywords=Here+Are+The+Young+Men]Here Are The Young Men[/url] by Rob Doyle, which is an Irish novel about a bunch of recent high school graduates being terrible teenagers and doing drugs. I'm mixed on it. The characters were a little static. There were some points where I felt like the author was trying too hard to be controversial. I can't tell if the point was to make the main narrator completely unlikable and the author did an incredible job, or if he was trying to make him relatable and completely blew it. Still, it was fun to read, had a neat ending, and kept me entertained, although in that kind of terrible way where you watch a reality show on TV because you hate everybody on it.
