First of the series that I didn't remember much from when I read as a kid going into it, and it was really amazing memories of reading it coming back to me. This is the best of the series yet.

I wasn't convinced how good this was until those last few chapters... god damn. RIP Cormac McCarthy.

Oh fuck yes. Classic lit has been so hit or miss for me but man this is the real deal. I've also heard mixed things about H.P. Lovecraft, but he really didn't disappoint.

Not as good as I remember it being, but still pretty incredible.

Man. I just love autobiographies. David Lynch is one of my favorite directors, probably second behind Paul Thomas Anderson. And I'm so glad he dove so deep into his life with this autobiography it is also half biography, which is very interesting. It starts from his early life and goes through everything that has happened in his career. Some autobiographies forget what we are reading for. And David doesn't forget that. Even though I could listen to him rambling on about meditation or whatever, he knows we want to hear about his films! And although I have read a lot about Lynch, I learned a lot that I didn't know. I thought it was hilarious that Anthony Hopkins hated him, how making Eraserhead literally drove him to divorce, and so much more. I hope he gets to make Ronnie Rocket someday.

The first book of the series I really don't remember anything about other than it being about a labyrinth. And man. This is easily the best of the series yet, so many great moments that just scream adventure, maybe the most variety we've had, and although it is for 14 year olds, some pretty graphic moments, like Daedalus being a prisoner and being inferred to getting tortured, and also Daedalus almost bleeding to his death. Not much came back to refresh my memory though, other than Pan, and the ending where Poseidon shows up in a reign of jealousy. I cannot wait to read The Last Olympian, which I cannot even remember anything at all that happens.
