A narrative art book called "The Electric State" by Swedish artist, musician, and designer, Simon Stålenhag. The book takes place in an alternate late 1997, where a runaway teenager and her small yellow toy robot travel west through a strange American landscape where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside, along with the discarded trash of a high-tech consumerist society addicted to a virtual-reality system. As they approach the edge of the continent, the world outside the car window seems to unravel at an ever-faster pace, as if somewhere beyond the horizon, the hollow core of civilization has finally caved in.

I just finished Once a Rocker Always a Rocker ~ by Cowboy Mach Bell
It is Mach Bell's diary from his stint as lead singer for the Joe Perry Project '82-'84 absolutely fascinating reading about all the New England gigs they did, it was like I was there...

I adore Stålenhag’s work. If you haven’t read them already I highly recommend you get Tales from the Loop and Things from the Flood.

I've picked up Frankenstein... again? I swear I tried to read it several years ago and then randomly stopped for no reason (I was liking it) but I'm not remembering anything (and my well have passed where I "got up to").

It was almost not so... I had three books upside down and chose randomly (as in, literally randomly... rolled a dice and everything).

I just finished that for my AP Literature Class.
I don’t like any of the characters.

Just finished reading Less by Andrew Sean Greer. I won a copy of it as part of an award and it didn't look particularly interesting at first, but by the time I finished it it was life-changing. I highly recommend, especially for those looking for a little life direction/inspiration/to not feel so lost and depressed. Double-recommendation to read the last third of the book in one sitting by candlelight at 2am.
