Lately, I’ve been escaping into sci-fi, fantasy, and romance novels so often that I felt I needed a dose of reality. Vox might have been too much reality. Parts of it infuriated me so much that I had to put the book in the freezer down to allow my blood pressure to drop. So, not super relaxing, but it was good.

Chrono-Displaced Persons
I have never liked time travel. Episodes of science fiction TV that deal with it tend to give me a headache because I can’t wrap my mind around it and start thinking in circles.

I alternate between two genres, usually. I prefer audiobooks when tackling dense non-fiction subjects, because I know I tend to skim if I’m reading such things in text form, and British crime novels — the accents alone are worth the download. The Breakdown, which refers not only to the broken down car […]
