@yourpalbingo.bsky.social Thank you for including my audiobooks in the show’s Imp Pit segment, Bingo! As far as the audiobooks, if you’re looking for a place to start, I recommend trying Now We Have Nothing. It’s narrated by a British witch. 🧙 I’m an Imp for life! @halfwayokay.bsky.social

Finished The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. Rich storytelling. A tale that’s as brutal as it is beautiful. Details the ups & downs of a family in present day Ireland. Think: American Beauty or the PT Anderson films Magnolia & Boogie Nights. Tragic characters. Paul Murray tore his heart out. Strong stuff.

Look, I don’t know if this podcast is for you. I mean, I’m listening to OOIOO as I type this. If you want to hear three gen X men make each other giggle for two hours, you could do a lot worse. @empathyapocalypse.bsky.social @halfwayokay.bsky.social @joshseybert.bsky.social @yourpalbingo.bsky.social

Salman Rushdie once said, “Only write the books you have to write.” Last night I stayed up late finishing the edits on my ‘25 book, How to Saw a Man in Half. This morning I ordered the 1st proof copy. This was the most painful writing experience of my life, but I had to write it to put it behind me.

Finished The Chronicles of DOOM by S.H. Fernando Jr. A biography of rapper MF Doom that begins in the 90s with Doom (then Zev Love X) & his association with 3rd Bass & follows his resurrection & fiercely independent rise as the villainous rapper persona MF Doom. Not for casual fans. An awesome book.

Finished Nobody’s Empire by Stuart Murdoch. Novel by the guy best known as the lead singer of Belle & Sebastian. Story takes place in the early 90s. Told from the perspective of Stephen, a musician with chronic fatigue syndrome. He starts a band & travels to the US. Nothing too harrowing. Just okay.
