Super dicey from a mental well-being perspective but I do enjoy them anyway.I went on a small binge with climate change dystopias recently, which I don't necessarily recommend, but I did enjoy all of these to whatever extent you can enjoy a climate change dystopia in 2021.
I limit how much horror I read. I will never read certain Stephen King titles. I don't watch horror movies either or I steel myself when I do. It's not so much the gore as the psychological tension that gets to me.Super dicey from a mental well-being perspective
Yes! I just finished it. Great book.Holy cow!
She likes Nick Drake? I've got one CD - need to check the books now.Just finished Elly Griffith's latest in the Dr Ruth Galloway series - good page-turning stuff, undemanding but perfect when you're in the mood for an archaeologists and police drama.

New York 2140 - As much about NYC as climate. The drastically changed world is kind of "just" the backdrop for the

I'd not heard of him until I read Phil Rickman. I remember asking a friend who's very into folk and alt-country if he'd heard of Nick Drake and his face just lit up (he thought it was very funny that I'd heard of him via what sounds like a horror story).It was the VW commercial with Pink Moon that made me search him out.
I'm revisiting my teen years and rereading the Twilight series. It's not fine literature, but it's interesting to go back to it as an adult and be able to actually point to the individual things that drew me into it when I was younger.
