Yesterday: Just finished an audiobook marathon for Antimatter Blues, the followup to Mickey7—a book written by Edward Ashton, the brother of our very own @anon29537550—that is about to get a movie adaptation discussed in another thread. Can heartily recommend both! I also enjoyed Ashton’s Mal Goes to War.
Today: About a quarter of the way through Jason Pargin’s I’m Starting to Worry About this Black Box of Doom, a comedy/action/thriller about an Uber driver with social anxiety issues who quickly finds himself in way over his head after reluctantly taking an off-the-books fare that involves transporting what may or may not be a nuclear weapon across the country in the company of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Overused archetype aside it’s been a fun read so far.
