Blake Butler’s Scorch Atlas. Little vignettes about the apocalypse, such as a plague of glass. Very bleak. Neat artistic design for the physical copy itself too, like a ruined library book.

Just finished 'Cool Machine' by Colson Whitehead. Third book in his Harlem trilogy.

Ray Carney's dad was a stone cold criminal. When he died he left Ray a truck with $30,000.00 hidden in the spare tire. Ray decided to turn straight and brought a furniture store on 125 St.

Okay, so he occasionally fences a few stolen items. He's a good father and husband who doesn't cheat or drink.

Reading these books is like spending a long Sunday afternoon in an old man bar, listening to the OGs talk about legendary heists and hit men.

Deep Work by Cal Newport. I'm trying to add blocks of distraction free time to each day and it's a big challenge, hopefully this book will give me some fresh ideas regarding the implementation.
