“A man couldn't do what he did. He's a monster." I laughed. "Ain't no monster. Monsters ain't real 'cept in kids' imaginations, under the beds, in the closets. We live in a world a' men and there ain't no good come out of tellin' them they monsters. Makes 'em think they ain't done nothin' wrong, that it's their nature and they can't do nothin' to change that. Callin' em a monster makes 'em something different from the rest of us, but they ain't. They just men, flesh and bone and blood... Nothin' a man can do to make him stop being a man.

Beth Lewis, The Wolf Road

July 16. The Damage. So . . . here’s the personal damage I’ve done over the past week or so, not including books I bought as presents for other people (2), or preorders (also 2). In my defense, the book on the bottom was $2, and seven of them totaled $34 even, and two had been on my list for a long time and I bought the Seanan McGuire one(s, because two of hers were preorders) when I found out someone made the sequel available on an illegal download website because I think Supporting Authors and Their Art Is Important.

This is why I am on a book buying ban for the considerable future. Someone please send help, or at least another bookshelf.

Next up on What the Fuck Am I Reading: something... fairly decent?!

So I just finished reading The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis. And compared to most of the other things I’ve picked up lately, it was a breath of fresh air. It’s got an interesting genre mash-up of a kind of post-apocalyptic western. Post-apocalyptic in the sense that they mention the world was kind of bombed to hell and there are some radiation hot spots, but it’s more of a western than anything. The main character is a young lady who is a bit unrefined, but seems wily and capable and just tough as nail. Y’know, someone who has true grit (bum dum tsh). She got lost in the woods as a little kid and ended up raised by this tattooed old trapper guy who teaches her a bunch of survivalist skills. The story more kicks off when this law lady comes knocking because the trapper guy is, just, not actually that great of a guy, and our protagonist has also been kind of implicated in his crimes. Most of the book is her hiding from the law woman and traveling as she has a kind of vague notion to go find her real parents way up further north, but also dealing with some parts of her memories she’d rather not recall. Oh, and she makes a wolf pal, so that’s neat. Still, it’s not exactly a happy-go-lucky story, and she runs into a number of less than savory characters. But it’s about as one might expect when in the post-apocalyptic lawless realm of... um, Canada.
