Hey folks, so I'm #chronicallyIll and often bed-ridden, and I could use recommendations for good stories that actually matter, for crying out loud. There's so much slop out there, and all the digging hurts my hands. Perhaps this is asking too much in late-stage capitalism, but is there anything out there that doesn't just normalize all the horrors that we have to contend with? Open to whatever medium: #books, #film, #TV, #games, #music, etc. I could use some good art to lift my soul.
I have the sequel "Homeland" on my TBR pile too. Scarily prophetic for what is happening in USA right now. Maybe not great for hopeful escapism altho I expect a survivable ending cos the next in the series "Attack Surface" has some of the samecharacters.
bookstodon group Yesterday I read Winter's Gifts, and today The Masquerades of Spring by Ben Aaronovitch, novellas in the Rivers of London series, though both are set in the US. Very different books, but both enjoyable, though I liked Masquerades best.
I also got Stone & Sky, a full length novel, but I'll probably squeeze something else in first, so I don't overdose on Aaronovitch.
These are always fun reads (or listens, as the case may be).
