It will be the nuttiest book ever written.
Tarzan’s nuts, you’re an embarrassment.
It'll be a grey day in our house if I don't get that book. Now shut up!

63) Sex at Dawn - Christopher Ryan. Audiobook. A pop science book which makes the case that human beings of prehistory were non-monogamous. Not sure I trust its conclusions. There's a sense of information being filtered to go against the standard narrative. The other response is "so what?" We also didn't live in houses but I'm all about that shit nowadays.

64) The Valley of Fear - Arthur Conan Doyle. Audiobook Read by Derek Jacobi. A decent novel which feels like two books rammed together. The Sherlock Holmes side is as much fun as any other of his that I've read even if Sir Arthur was bored shitless of the character. The other half is set thirty years previously in 1875 and is about a murderous union. Funny to think these were still being churned out in the midst of WW1.

When I've talked to students about writing and being bold, I've said that the worst response to your work isn't "I hated this"; it's "So what?"

65) The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving. Audiobook. Irving's reputation as a great American author must come from the fact that all his contemporary countrymen were wholly involved in having babies, working the farm, or engaging in political graft. This utterly sucked. It had half a good scene after 95% of it being tedious village life and loving descriptions of feasts.

Loose adaptations are better than the OG in this case.

Also, that Scooby Doo ending is trash.

Fucking tantalisingly close to finishing the first draft of the novel I'm collaborating on. Probably 9000 words.
