I picked up this book because it was supposedly a favorite of HP Lovecraft, and I like a lot of those stories. It was more than a little hard to get through some sections because of the unnecessary amount of details about every single thing in the story. To quote Lisa Dumond, “To say that the author dwells on minutae is understatement akin to his overstatement.”

I found a very beat up copy of this book in a little free library. I’m very glad I took a chance on it, because there are some real gems in this book. Ursula K. Le Guin has has a very interesting short story, and “Burger Creature“ is quite funny.

But transit doesn't make a profit and that's why we shouldn't fund it 🫠

Actually, every story is a beauty. I enjoyed every single story in this book. Every time I finished one, I’d think, “dang, I really wanna get back on the ice now!”

I absolutely loved every story. I can’t recommend this book highly enough to hockey fans.

This was something I wouldn’t normally read, but I believe it was free (or $0.99) and thought I’d try something out of the ordinary.

I’m glad I did! It was a quick, fascinating read, though be aware that it doesn’t shy away from details about what happened to the animals during cattle drives.

There’s a lot of myth built up around the American cowboy, and this book does a decent job of exploring the reality of what cowboys were actually like, even if it doesn’t completely get away from romanticizing them.
