The Dr I work with was begging people in the office to read The Empyrean series so she’d have someone to talk about them with. I am working my way through the most recent one now, Onyx Storm.

That’s how I ended up seeing Faces of Death for the first time. I didn’t run with the right crowds for anyone to sneak a VHS to a sleepover in a Disney movie box.

I read 100 Years of Solitude and it stuck with me unlike any book I’ve read.

For me it’s a toss up between The Idiot by Dostoyevsky and The Monk by Matthew Lewis. Totally different stories and styles but I’ve read both of them multiple times and I find them unforgettable.

I just finished Ghost Story by Peter Straub and am currently reading The Rebel by Albert Camus.

Currently I’m reading The Rebel by Albert Camus. I was reading it last month but got interrupted by a hold being available from the library. I’m determined to finish it in the next week or so.

That’s what I mean. Whatever “big thing” is coming is debatable. And it’s definitely subjective. But in this moment, the us president is impacting things at a global scale. The elimination of USAID for example put a stop to vaccination efforts in villages in Africa. That’s devastating for them, but for an average person in, say, Australia, that may be frustrating but not impactful in the same way. Seeing a bunch of smaller things happening all at the same time justifies someone’s concern that something bigger is going to or could happen.

I agree with all of this 100%. Though, to be fair, given the impact that the US President is having globally, I don’t think believing or worrying about something big happening soon is out of the question. What that will look like is debatable.

Given everything that has been going on here in the US, and how quickly and boldly it is happening, I think your feeling is justified. And I don’t think it’s far-fetched to think that something is going to happen within the next 3 years. And it’s going to, in some way, be global. Like someone said before me, now is the time to build community and network and be as prepared as we can be for whatever it is.

If I’m having food, I drink water. But if I’m hanging out with people I’ll have coffee or beer.

I’m currently reading The Rebel by Albert Camus. But that was interrupted by a Library hold becoming available, so now I’m also reading Ghost Story by Peter Straub.
