    What are You Reading Now?

    I'd definitely recommend Innocents Abroad as a good starting point for the non-fiction. I shied away from Twain for years because the fiction seemed so parochial to me but the non-fiction really opened my perspective on him and helped me not think of him as a kid's book writer when I did come...

    What are You Listening To? ~ September 2022

    In the words of the late great Billy Joe Shaver, "You haven't lived til' you've heard Roy Acuff sing about Jesus and the great speckled bird."

    I had no idea this was a book. I wasn't interested in watching the movie but the premise of the trailer seemed my type so I'll definitely be picking this up.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I just finished reading a fascinating little novel called The Libary at Mount Char by a Scott Hawkins. I guess it's a crime/suspense/fantasy novel? Very gnostic and cult-ish in an interesting way. Today I started reading Twain's Innocents Aboard. I'm a heavy reader but I guess having been...

    What Do You Do?

    Been in IT for well over 10 years, currently on a little over 5 year tenure as an engineer for a large supply chain company. It's not a field I particularly like or dislike but something I feel into and it pays well enough so I can't complain. I had thought I was going to write the Great...

    What Do (Did) You Do

    Engineer for a corporate giant. Oh, if the angry teenage poet-me could see the company man I have become!

    31. Smoked cigarettes for a decade then switched exclusively to pipes about a year and a half ago. My first tobacco was Captain Black White because that's all I knew but now I smoke a good variety of different smokes. I think my primary three are Sam Gawaith's Full Virginia Flake, Sir Walter...

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Most recently my wife and I watched this really interesting movie called "The Ballad of Narayama" (1958). It's a highly-stylized Japanese movie about a village where, upon reaching the age of 70, the elders are carried by their oldest son to the top of a mountain and abandoned. The filming...

    Great Photos Thread

    Took my wife to Luray Caverns this past weekend and snapped a photo of a structure they call "Pluto's Ghost". Amazing place to check out if you're ever in western Virginia.

    What are You Reading Now?

    You're quite the Conrad reader of late it seems! "The Duel" and "Lord Jim" are classics!

    What are You Reading Now?

    Currently reading "Wasteland: The Great War and the Origins of Modern Horror". Quite a good read and makes interesting points. Thus far it has covered the films The Golem, Nosferatu, Metropolis, and M; Gothic literature, Lovecraft, Kafka, and T.S. Eliot.

    Eccentric and New.

    Evening all, long-time lurker on these forums but only just now registered. I've been piping for about seven or eight months now, mainly unfiltered Brigham pipes, some larger MM cobs for when I'm driving long-distance for work, and a few smaller MMs for trying new smokes before committing them...
