On Prejudice in Fiction

 I have had a slow past couple of days, but I’m going to be out today for a bit. I wrote this beforehand, obviously (I always do), though Friday night was a bit more hectic than I’d like. I’m still reading Don Quixote–though I’m almost done–because it is really long. After that will be… heck, I don’t know. A library book, maybe? Or maybe another book I grabbed in the house.

Shogun is finished, and it was excellent, so right now I’m circling through Brooklyn 99, Warrior, and the Roku Spiderwick Chronicles, which I have thoughts about, though we’ll save that for another time. The movie was a better adaptation though.


Also apparently my writing music right now is the full soundtrack for Horizon Forbidden West?

On Stage & Screen

[rubs forehead] Uh, hi there. I didn't sleep much last night. My original intro was more upbeat. I apologize.

This week I started Don Quixote, which is quite a long book, so aside from comics and illustrated books (and maybe the odd BIONICLE book?), don’t expect my Book Diary to update for a while.

The new adaptation of The Spiderwick Chronicles is now on Roku! Get a look at that if you’ve got the time and the Roku.


I didn’t exactly know what to write this week. I have a plan that one day I will write about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but that’s going to take some more work than usual. I made a list of several possible topics, and I ended up settling on this one.

On Jesus in Fiction

I read Hammered by Kevin Hearne, which is quite bad! I was sort of planning on reading Story of a Soul next, which is something of a whiplash. But the copy that we have at the house is barely holding together, so I did not want to take that as the book to read on my lunch break, else it would get accidentally stained or fall apart in the car. So it was Bone: Quest for the Spark, Volume 2 for that day.

We’ll get to Story of a Soul sooner or later.


In other news, I started watching Warrior on Netflix. A bit different, but I have high hopes after the first episode. We’ll see!

My Aim in Writing

Easter is here! I had bacon yesterday, and we have an eclipse on Monday. Get your glasses! And a doughnut! Since Lent is over, the Tumblog is back for business, so expect Fun Fact Friday, and Movie Munchies reviews if you pay attention to those posts.

I’m reading another Redwall book, in case you’re wondering.
