Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Read #31 of 2026 The Ship of Death by Kyle Winkler First intrigued and then absorbed by this found document novel about an addicting, reality melting table top RPG.

Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Read #26 of '26 The Calamities by Chuck Wendig The Calamities, a modern horror-fantasy centered on a cabal of families corrupted by greed and power, is pure-grade, white knuckle Wendig. (1/2) 1246

Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Read #9 Tom's Crossing by Mark Z. Danielewski An astounding, breathtaking novel brimming with beautiful prose, posing a story so enthralling, with characters and observations so full of life, that the heft of its 1,228 pages becomes a much welcome weight. A masterpiece to savor and ponder on. 271

Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Towards self-preservation, to pull back from witnessing the real-time, blow-by-blow destruction of democracy and civil liberties, I’m aiming to watch a movie a day this year.

Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 05/01/2026The 2026 reading thread kicks off with a sci-fi banger from the prolific imagination of Coy Hall, The Owl Men of Shanidar. Do yourself a favor: drop everything and read all of Coy’s books. Time very well spent. 2186

Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 20/10/2025Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon No one does it like Pynch. The imagination, wordplay, plotting—everything’s off the charts. I’ll be reading more from him over the next year. 130
Robert Kluver @robertkluver.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Enjoying a quiet, rainy morning with the literary hijinks of Pynchon. 040
