EPTWildbrews: Beer Beyond the Influence of Brewer's Yeast - Jeff Sparrow
Both highly recommended for people wishing to know more about specifics of these styles of beer. Despite being 11~ years old, still very relevant.

Tasting Whiskey by Lew Bryson - I can't speak for other whisky books, but this covers all the major styles and has a great outlook on how to approach whisky, while teaching you everything you need to know to get started. A great book and refreshing to see whisky material that doesn't just focus on scotch (like everything in England). In the Dust of this Planet by Eugene Thacker - Reads like a bunch of disjointed Philosophy essay questions answered by a student. Has some interesting points and then just tangents into a load of other stuff that doesn't really address the theme of the book very well. Edit: If anyone has some recommendations for books by English authors in the last 5~ years, they'd be most welcome. | ||

You should also see it Finished my Bulgakov, and in the middle of my 15 sagas. Now Grettir's it is, and I'm even starting to laugh out loud at some stuff, and to like the violence That's some really smart litterature too, even though the "lesser" sagas tend to have pretty akward passages. | ||

![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516LVWmpRbL._SX303_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg) Took me quite a while to finish 1252 pages (compared to the authors other work the first mistborn book is just like 500+pages took me around a week or so to finish ). I would say it was fantastic so far it fulfilled the hype that other Sanderson fans has exclaimed about it being better than the mistborn trilogy. And the scale of this thing is big and it's still the first book out of 10 i believe. + Show Spoiler [Cosmere shit] + What the fuck is hoid doing here ? He also seems to have an important role in this unlike in the mistborn trilogy Also that end chapter perspective of Wit. That was good. Almost as good cryptic good as the end of the 2nd book of mistborn. Man i'm so hyped to look for the 2nd book and read it + Show Spoiler + that last few chapters were all characters are set up bound to meet in the same place holy shit i'm hyped. | ||

![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zq0L-9VpL._SX329_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg) I quite liked it, enough to make me unfortunately hyped for the next book which is gonna be pain since i'll have to wait 1 year i believe. I've read like 10 books(11 now) from this author i have to say this has to be the one i laughed the most, as evidence i read it in around 2 days. All those pre-chapter Haiku is quite nice. Next to Read: The Word of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson (book 2 of Stormlight Archives) Priceless by Charlie Daniels - some random book i brought , it was on sale and is short compared to other books so why not.(Apparently this book was based on the authors experience herself about the life of prostitution) | ||
