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.

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.

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.
