Pffft. The only people that predicted this was everyone. That’s hardly a robust sample size.

I can’t tell if you’re yelling me or just yelling in general. But in case this is aimed at me, I’m not a Christian. I’m not anything.

Yeah. I agree. But the fact that we have to use “shouldn’t” here pretty much sums it up. I think it may be time for Christians to start thinking about if they have a responsibility to noting the difference.

There’s a difference between Christians and Bible enthusiasts.

Whatever is going on, I just hope it hurts a lot.

Gobble gobble we accept you, we accept you. One of us.

Two other favorites from last year. The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells but you should follow it immediately with The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by S. Moreno-Garcia. It’s sort of a companion piece written by a female, indigenous author. It bookends the sci-fi by a white guy nicely.

Also, I’ll always tell people they should check out the book that is credited with starting sci-fi as a genre. Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelly. It’s horror, it’s sci-fi, it’s speculative, it’s fucking awesome.

And the Blue Ant trilogy by Wiliam Gibson. He’s deff not for everyone. He can be really hard to get, and he just dumps you into his world and starts. There is no tutorial. But if he clicks for you, you’ll love it.

I’m not super versed in thriller but my friends have me dipping my feet into horror.

Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A Snider was a favorite last year. Creepy, timely, and let’s say visceral.

I’m in the first 3rd of Perdido Street Station now from China Mieville. He’s credited with helping start the New Weird. Not horror as such but it’s marvelous.

And Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki was just a rad read. It’s roughly about donughts, violins, and selling souls.

What kind of genres do you read? If you dig speculative fiction I’m happy to share recommendations and am happy to talk books. It’s not much, but just nerding out about stuff somtimes helps.

Well, the only legal thing we can do is vote. The other options shouldn’t be discussed online.

Yup. This is the election they’ve been training to lose for decades.

I’m still gonna go vote though. And try to get others to vote too.
