not a big deal but this thread already does that.
I’ve realized I spend far too much time online for my own good and I decided to read more, ideally with a focus on popular culture. What are your favorites?
I’ve just finished
Mr. Pikes - The story behind the Ibiza legend
and started
DJ Dribbler - Harry’s Kebabs
Will pick up today:
Simon Reynolds - Energy flash
just if you want to see people’s reading interests / recommendations now as opposed to waiting.
don’t know if you’re into comics at all but there’s also this, which has a lot of good graphic novels etc.
Some really emerge among others.
Some get old, some will never.
What are the most memorable comic books / bandes dessinées / mangas / graphical novels you’ve read?

Still to this day one of my favorite novels.
The Power of One is a novel by South African born, Australian author Bryce Courtenay, first published in 1989. Set in South Africa during the 1930s and 1940s, it tells the story of an English boy, who through the course of the story, acquires the name of Peekay. In the film version, the protagonist's given name is Peter Phillip Kenneth Keith. The author identifies "Peekay" as a reference to his earlier nickname "Piskop": Afrikaans for "Pisshead.")
It is written from the first person perspective,...
unfortunately, the film is a real turd despite morgan freeman’s immense talent.
