Library book!

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

This was a Brandon Sanderson recommendation on an Insta algorithm reel.  (I’ve never read anything by Sanderson, but he’s pretty fun to listen to.)  

This is the geek version of a Lee Child Reacher novel.  Super readable, goes by in a flash, thoroughly enjoyable, almost certain to never be re-read.  I’ve got a hold on the next book at the library.  

Regret reading: No

Would read again: No

Would buy: No

Rating: Pretty good

Shows!

Netflix documentary.  112-4 at the French Open.  It defies comprehension.  Anyway, this was a fun sidewatch while I worked out and played Slay the Spire.  (And I full-watched parts of it as well.)

Regret watching: No

Would watch again: No

Would buy on DVD: No

An Insta reel-inspired watch.  This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.  Jared Keeso, who writes and stars in the show, has created something magical here.  As with the best comedies, it effortlessly mixes hilarity and heartfelt emotion.  Jacob Tierney, director of the first two seasons, isn’t afraid to let the show breathe with extended slo-mo takes that do nothing more than set the mood, accompanied by A-plus needle drops.  

The show is perfectly cast, I love everyone of these characters.  This requires a rewatch very very soon.

Regret watching: No

Would watch again: Yes

Would buy on DVD: Yes
