Clarke The Library Connection David hasn’t lost access to the library and it’s apps, so he expects this list to swell Ken’s Picks Ken launched his 16th annual reading list Dragons of Deceit by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman A return to Dragonlance after more years away then Ken can easily remember. Destina Rosethorn seeks to travel back through time to save her father, who died in the War of the Lance. Star Wars: Lesser Evil (Thrawn Ascendency, Book 3) by Timothy Zahn The final book of the second Thrawn prequel series. Yes, this was on Ken’s list last year. Yes, he didn’t read it. Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty A murder mystery on a sentient space station. Released in October 2022, so it wasn’t on last year’s reading list. The next book in the series, Chaos Terminal, drops in November 2023. Dead Moon (Threshold Universe, Book 3) by Peter Cline LOST meets Lovecraft meets weird science. Began with “14”, in which people living in an apartment building discover something very strange is going on in their basement. Continued with The Fold, which involved visiting another realm … and dealing with the consequences of those visits Implacable (The Lost Fleet: Outlands Book 3) by Jack Campbell Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary has taken his fleet beyond the frontier and is battling the dangerous and cryptic Enigma aliens. If only he wasn’t also fighting Alliance politicians back home, who are concerned he’ll use his immense popularity to seize control of the government Graphic Novels Hellboy: The Bones of Giants Need some new horror graphic novels. Open to suggestions - Ken’s read most of the Hellboy and BPRD books. Atomic Robo? Transmetropolitan? Feedback We love feedback!

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Wild Olive Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird The Wild Olive Podcast brings you game-changing conversations about literature, culture, and the Bible. With co-hosts Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird, Wild Olive serves up idea-feasts: tasty insights about biblical texts and contemporary (or classic!) literature, with generous side-portions of cultural commentary and hearty laughter. One literature professor + one biblical studies professor = uncontrolled, out-of-bounds, untamed conversation: ideal listening for the post-evangelical, the spiritual-but-not-religious, the Bible-curious secularist, the free-thinking religionist, and the literary-but-not-stodgy! New episodes every other Friday!
