I'm a fanboy. If Captain Beefheart had gone out in a hail of gunfire and raped hookers would you still not be interested in the parts of his book about the band?

There's a lot of Beefheart drama that I eat up (#teamdrumbo), but yes.

Book 2 of the Lunar Chronicle series..

I just recently finished Dante's Inferno. I expected to be let down, but I ended up really enjoying it. Maybe it's just because I was so glad to move on from some of the other **** I've had to read for school. Regardless, excited to start Purgatory.

Spoiler alert: reading Purgatory is like being in it and the Inferno is the only great one.

That's what I've been told. We have to read Paradise as well and I've heard that one really drags along. Oh well, I'll take what I can get as long as I never have to read The Confessions again.

Dracula
Wasn't sure what to expect but so far it's great—a whole lot of ominous slow burn and impending doom going on. It's really interesting to read a 19th century novel that's written as a compilation of various journal entries, letters, and captains' logs. I always assumed that kind of writing was a more recent invention. It make this book seem kind of ahead of its time.

It's been a tremendously difficult week. Diligently working with my wife on strengthening our relationship, grappling with politically-sanctioned racism, misogyny, institutionalized oppression of minorities, authoritarianism, and xenophobia, and the loss of lifelong friends who've chosen to side with hate.

I'm diving deep into political and socio-economic philosophy in search of egalitarian solutions and working to open my eyes to resolve misconceptions I have about the physical and digital worlds, (thank you, Adam Curtis!)

Thankfully, this lovely literary treasure just landed on my doorstep.

I need a little fiction right now.

Seems pretty great so far, and definitely more enjoyable than Nineteen Eighty-Four.

My favorite book, Jane Eyre, for the umpteenth time.
