@captainfez um that's literally next on my list! I enrolled in Gothic lit
@elzbethmrgn It is Very Good, I think. I really liked it, and it's super quick.
@captainfez currently on James' THE TURN OF THE SCREW
@elzbethmrgn Look I have that in the back of the car and maybe I should make it my next one.
@elzbethmrgn what’s the course reading list like? I should vicariously study along.
@captainfez
J. Leigh: The Hunter
Shirley Jackson: We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Bram Stoker: Dracula
Mary Shelley: Frankenstein or ‘The Modern Prometheus’
Henry James: The Turn of the Screw
@elzbethmrgn That's a pretty good list. I should ping you for an Anne Radcliffe buddy read as I think one of hers would fit in there nicely. I have the Jackson to read, and can recommend two Dracula variants (one Icelandic, the other Turkish) if you're interested - both are great examples of modes of publication and translation changing a work.
@captainfez lemme get through this list first 😉
@captainfez anyway, great prep for Tokarczuk later this year (it always comes back to her)
@captainfez my copy of The Magic Mountain came today and she's a Chonky Tome! Winter buddy read
@elzbethmrgn yes! I think mine is a chunky old Penguin. Will dig it out - looking forward to it.

@captainfez Does the audiobook have samples of his guitar work?

Marc Ribot is amazing.

@colorblindcowboy Unfortunately not. I love the guy, and this book is great when he's talking about amps and strings. My attention wandered in the last third which was more creative writing than reminiscence or polemic.
@captainfez That’s too bad. I think it could make a nice sonic odyssey to hear what he’s talking about.
