I think we can all agree that the world is going to hell in a hand basket (as it has been for all of recorded human history).
The climate is going to kill us in less than 25 years, if nuclear weapons don’t do it before that. The people in Washington seem to continue to lack for common sense, and the electorate (for some reason) is ever eager to reward this deficiency with more and more power. And for many people it seems like progress is being reversed, while others feel like too much is changing too quickly.
Pretty depressing, huh?
Well, good news everyone! World events have spurred me to engage in even more of my favorite solitary pastime: reading. And it looks like I’m on track to read the most books in a year since I’ve been keeping tabs on such things.
It isn’t all bad! Just mostly.
