Joe Struthers

I'm Joe. I play hockey on Friday nights, take a lot of photos, play games, lift, and usually have a project going in the garage. This is where I put all of it.

Books

What I'm reading now and what I've finished, in case you're looking for something.

Dungeon Crawler Carl

Matt Dinniman

Earth gets turned into a dungeon for an alien game show, and a guy in his boxers and his ex's cat have to fight their way down. Funny, gory, and more heartfelt than you'd expect.

Cover of Red Rising
Finished Sep 2026

Red Rising

Pierce Brown

A young miner on Mars finds out his whole class has been lied to, then gets remade to infiltrate the elite who run things. Fast, brutal sci-fi and the start of a long series.
