Gone but not forgotten
I haven't read Steven King in years but I recently read his short stories collection "Full Dark No Stars " . The stories were very good and very odd . I enjoyed the book .
I like science fiction but to the extent that I recall it at all, which isn't much, I didn't really like Hitchhiker's Guide. I never bothered with the rest.I should be able to finish all these little novels in one sitting, but it took me several days. And I found it difficult. This kind of writing is not for me, and I had a tough time maintaining interest although the storyline has some original ideas.
[FONT="]Finished a re-read of “One Second After” by William Forstchen. Without revealing details, the plot is an EMP wipes out electronics in the US & other global locations, and one small communities efforts to deal with the aftermath.[/FONT]
Just finished the Linda Tirado book, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America.
I'd seen an excerpt somewhere online that intrigued me enough to request it from the library.
It is a well-written, honest account of what life is like as a low wage worker in America today. She's engaging and funny, and able to explain her life without lengthy political asides. The forward was written by Barbara Ehrenreich, who wrote the entirely different Nickeled and Dimed, about her brief foray into the minimum wage workplace. I found this book substantially better than Ehrenreich's.
If you are interested in social justice topics or just want to know a little more about life at the edges of our society, I think you'd like this.
