The Shadow Over Santa Susana: Black Magic, Mind Control, & the Manson
Family Mythos

How is it ? It's been like 15 years since I read it, but in Polish the language was great, especially the dialogs. I imagine it would be quite a challenge for the translator.

It's great, I started reading this series last year and was completely entranced. The translator did a fantastic job and it never feels stiff or unnatural. I'm a little disappointed the 4th book isn't coming out this year, I kind of assumed they would release it to coincide with The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt but it looks like I'll have to track down some fan translations to keep me going.

Great to hear! I was really worried they're not doing the series justice - for example the Polish translations of the late Terry Pratchets books are good, but ... they're not funny. Still interesting, but you can get a chuckle at most out of it, not the "I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe" you get from the original text.
Also Sapkowski published a new Witcher book just last year - unfortunately it's "meh" - not bad, but .. nothing new. I was hoping for more.

Delightfully childish. Easy to relate to. Funny. It's a kids book for adults but it was worth the 20$

I'm gonna check this one out. Thanks! Have you read the first one? "Me Write Book"

I'm finishing Kitchen Confidential for the 3rd time. The next few on my list are...

Gone Girl
Inherent Vice
The Psychopath Test
Flowers for Algernon
The Handmaid's Tale

I love both of those.

I recently finished two books I had been reading for a million years:

Eddie and the Cruisers by P.F. Kluge (1980): I re-watched the movie a while back and it made me curious about the book. It was good stuff. Different from and darker than the movie.

Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett (1929): One of the books that essentially created the genre of hard-boiled detective fiction. Because it was one of the first, it doesn't exactly fit the mold, which is pretty cool. For example, rather than taking place somewhere like L.A. or San Francisco, it takes place in a seedy mining town in the vicinity of Montana. It's violent, ugly, cynical and very good.
