Coach of Alva's 2020 Roots

I plan to read:
Nightmare Magazine 12 issues
Sirenia Digest 12 issues
Very Long Book 1 book
Pure Voice Audio Bible KJV 10 audiobooks
Arkangel Shakespeare 10 audiobooks
Gaiman's Sandman Comics Not Read 7 books
Maigret 5 ebooks

I confess this is not much of a list. For example, the Sirenia Digest consists of one short story published each month. I hope I can do more and I expect that I will. Still, my goal is 57.

A goal is a goal is a goal! Yours sounds like a good one. Happy reading!

Tnank you. I hope you enjoy your year of reading.

Welcome back, David. Happy ROOting.

Every goal is a good goal! Have fun :)

04 30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow AUTHOR: Steve Niles ARTIST: Ben Templesmith

05 Nightmare Magazine, Issue 76 (January 2019)

>21 Coach_of_Alva: 30 Days of Night is one of my favorite horror movies but I haven't read the series beyond the original. What'd you think?

They are worth reading. The middle title takes place in Los Angeles and appears to end tragically. The third title sees a rematch in Barrow. The latter has particularly good art.

06 Richard III (Arkangel Shakespeare) Author: William Shakespeare Cast: David Troughton

07 Pure Voice Audio Bible - King James Version, KJV: (23) Hosea, Joel, and Amos Hosea Reader: Stefan Rudnicki Joel Reader: John Rubinstein Amos Reader: Juliet Mills

Lots of reading done, David. I liked >20 Coach_of_Alva: a lot. But that was 45 years or so ago, when I was still in college. I was the only one who read that book for my English reading list for my exams.

I found it a great listen. I wondered why I waited so long to read it. I thought the same thing about The Great Gatsby. I have many books on my bucket list and hope to finish half of them.

September 2020 Roots Goals

I will read the July, August, September 2019 issues of Nightmare Magazine.
I will read the plays of Aeschylus in The Greek Plays.
I will hear the Acts of the Apostles in Pure Voice Audio Bible KJV.
I will hear four plays in the Arkangel Shakespeare series.
I will read volumes six and seven in the collected volumes of The Sandman.
I will read one novel in the Maigret series.

Great goals, David. I hope you are doing better, you have been reading some scary books when I look at those covers.

I like horror. Sorry.

Is that rare in this group? I think it is.

I wish I could have downloaded the covers for the issues of the Sirenia Digest. They would have been provocative.

Nothing wrong with a good horror story. I rather read about it than seeing it as a movie.

And what if it's rare in this group? I don't mind at all, as long as you like it, just enjoy.

Thank you.
