saw someone comparing james patterson and stephen king the other day and yeah, i guess they are technically similar - they're both writers of "lowbrow" genre fiction who churn out a million books a year and have an evergreen appeal to a certain type of middle-aged man. the main difference is that once you finish a stephen king book you can usually remember what happened in it, whereas once you finish a james patterson book it will vanish from your brain immediately after you turn the last page.
#my controversial opinion is that stephen king is a genuinely good writer#he is just hampered by the incurable curse of being stephen king#anyway. i've read about 15 james patterson books and i could not tell you what happened in a single one of them.#they just entered my head and dissolved immediately like cotton candy

There's a saying... maybe you've heard it... a mother can only be as happy as her saddest child. You seem very sad to me, Brady. Almost angry, in fact.

I just had someone tell me AI is capable of writing publishable literature because there's "so much" "soulless" stuff on the bestseller list, and as evidence they cited James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, Stephen King, and all romance novels and all mystery novels. And just. Wow. Fun combination of "I am trying to make myself look so smart here" and "Every syllable I speak breathes complete and total ignorance," like what even
#I don't like Patterson or Sparks but I don't think you could literally replace them with AI right now#Stephen King is the opposite of soulless and you can be damn fucking sure no AI can replace him#and all of#romance#?????#all of#mystery#?!?!?#even if you hate genre stuff and have confused that with genre stuff being shitty#there are so so many good literary mysteries out there??#whatever I just hate intellectual snobs and I really hate them when they have no idea wtf they're talking about

Welcome bookish friends! Bekah here! I’ve been an avid reader since I could put letters together and dive into an entirely different world. My passion for reading and mysteries began way back when Hank the Cowdog was set in front of me at age 6. Since then I’ve graduated to Agatha Christie, Frieda McFadden, James Patterson, Mary Kubica, and Stephen King (just to name a few of my favorites).
Join me as we dive into a world of suspense, intrigue, and heart-pounding twists as I check off my TBR list and review my favorite thrillers and mysteries (and least favs)! From psychological thrillers to action-packed adventures, I’ll be reviewing it all. Get ready to unravel mysteries, uncover secrets, and discover your next favorite thriller!

Friday Funnies 6
It’s been a couple of months since my last post in my occasional Friday Funnies series, so it feels about time for a few more clips to amuse you ahead of the weekend. There is no particular theme to these: they are just a random selection of things which I’ve seen on YouTube and which have made me laugh. Let’s face it, we all need something to laugh about these days, don’t we! This might look a…

Imogen That!
CYMBELINE Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Wednesday 10th May 2023 Greg Doran bows out of his tenure as Artistic Director of the RSC with this production of one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known plays. Set vaguely during the era of the Romans invading Britain, this play sees Shakespeare rounding up all his favourite tropes and packaging them in a dark and funny fairy tale. These…

i was at the library browsing shelves recently and it made me think about judging books by their covers so!
(these are just examples i got from quick searches online, not representative of the quality of the books content)
