Currently Reading

Nothing! I’ve finished the last of the books I wanted to get through this year.

Recently Finished

Yesterday I finished reading The Spirit by Thomas Page, a 1977 horror novel recently republished by Valancourt Books. I ended up liking this book a lot more than I was expecting to, especially considering its fairly straightforward premise of hunting a Bigfoot that has a penchant for decapitation. It’s not that that didn’t sound like a good time, I just didn’t expect a lot of depth from it. Though the Bigfoot hunt is very real, it’s much more of a stark depiction of obsession and determination, the creature becoming something of a white whale for one of the characters, offering an altogether more spiritual story than you’d expect from a pulpy-looking horror novel, ruminating on self-discovery and finding purpose in life. I’m really happy that my reading endeavours for the year had such a pleasantly surprising and satisfying conclusion.

Reading Next

I’m a little at odds with circumstances at the moment because I’ve been itching for a bit of a break from reading prose in particular. I do intend to start reading One-Punch Man in the new year, which is manga and thus wouldn’t interfere with this break, but before I do I will be reading Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green, a nonfiction book about the history of tuberculosis infection and treatment and its ongoing impact on humanity. I got this from my library a couple of weeks ago because my reservation happened to become available, but I wasn’t quite ready to read it yet. So, I’m going to try to read it quickly at the start of next month before I take my short break from prose, just so I’m not withholding the book from the next person waiting for it.

Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.

Happy New Year!
