I read the first volumes over the course of last year. I read the last five volumes all tonight. Wow.

I usually feel like classic rock, southern rock, alt country, or blues while smoking but today I felt nostalgic pop punk.

Never mind the full frontal that poor lady got on his way down

I read a lot this month. Most everything I read was for r/bookclub or for the middle school reading bowl I coach. I’m glad to get a few scifi and fantasy classics under my belt (LeGuinn, Pratchett, and currently reading 2001: A Space Odyssey).
