I was just talking about how Mork's hunger for the written word exposed him to all manner of richness, and one of those was a book called The Martian that a man named Andy Weir self-published first on his blog and then on Kindle. Weir wrote more books later, apparently he "caught the bug," and one of them was called Project Hail Mary. There is a spoiler for the book that Mike has judiciously protected me from for four years, and at around two minutes into the trailer they just straight up let the space-cat out of the starbag.

I was talking to Kiko, whose entire social media diet is checking BlueSky once a week, and it was clear to me how hale and vigorous he was as a result. My own nutrition, pilfered by these deleterious forces, is patchy at best. Necessary compounds are scarce; youthful skin is a memory. I just saw myself in a mirror - for a few moments, I thought I was looking at bowling ball with a greasy napkin draped over it.

There's a lot of focus on the brains and the flesh and whatnot - long, ragged strips of manflesh, juicy like a papaya. But what do zombies want in the long term? Has anybody even asked? Or are they too busy running away from zombies in the corrugated metal maze of a favela? Look. We're always being told to let people cook, with questionable results. Wastrels, "writers" and the like. They've been extended a blank check; an unlimited opportunity to cook the void. Thankfully, the 28 Days X franchise is bold enough to get down to brass fucking tacks.

I start tons of books using the Kindle preview but end up actually buying and finishing far fewer. I lean towards hard Sci-Fi. I like inscrutable alien artifacts and massive jumps through time. If I’m not reading about spaceships I’m reading history books for some reason. I think because the good ones at least are sort of like time travel books. I’ve managed to finish a bunch of great books recently from both these genres and I wanted to share my finds here for those of you with similar reading interests.
