What We’re Reading This Week

Matthew looking...tough.

Matthew

Love Is a Dog From Hell by Charles Bukowski

“I was walking down the street last night and I was like, Matt, you have to toughen up or this town is going to swallow you whole. So I walked into BookPeople, made a beeline for the poetry section, and went for the darkest, toughest title I could find. And now I’m letting Bukowski pour his sweet poetry all over my soul.”

The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan

This is a nonfiction book about the Dust Bowl. It’s a fascinating non-scientific story of what the American meterological society deems the worst environmental catastrophe in North American history. I am greatly enjoying it. It’s f-ing great.”

Trash by Andy Mulligan

“This is a gritty, fast-paced mystery set in the garbage cities of an unnamed Third World city in the not-so-distant future. It’s a riveting read so far as it follows three children fighting for a future amidst corruption, constant danger, and abject poverty.”

Emperor Mollusk versus The Sinister Brain by A. Lee Martinez

“Funny. Delightful. It’s a tale of what happens when the super villain wins and then doesn’t know what to do with his life.”
