April 2021 Reading List

I learned I'm not a fan of Grant Morrison.  Just not my thing.  But Toil and Trouble and LaGuardia were both excellent.  Great books this month.  Got them primarily off the NPR Concierge.  I was amused at the bad reviews for The Only Good Indians listing the cadence of the language and the slang being issues to enjoying it. Aka...it was written by a Native American.  I recommend the Youtube series Patrick Is a Navajo if you want a fun immersion in Native American culture and memes.  I was surprised at what I had picked up from him [and his co host and guests] that made the book more enjoyable.  Mexican Gothic was also a great book...definitely nailed the gothic part.

• 
  Straight up racism with a touch of self preservation / distraction thrown into the mix by Gaetz who is rightfully going to have a very hard time not only in politics, but likely in life, by the time investigations are all done.
