I almost forgot the weekly thread again, so just putting it up, will post my updates later.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Similar. Picked up 'Carl' at the library and killed it in two days. Have Book #2 on hold.

Will check Shopocalypse, thank you for the suggestion.

Have you ever tried "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett?

No worries, I hear Carl mentioned a lot but no one has ever spoken about Buy Mort and it is done in such a similar vein that I think people would really enjoy it!

Never heard of Red Harvest but will check it out for sure, thanks!

If the plot of 'Red Harvest' seems familiar it's because that book is the original; all the versions you've seen ripped it off.
