Philosophy: Philosophy: Who Needs It
Ayn Rand
@cmforr @spanglykoala I did a semester on Ayn Rand as part of my Philosophy degree, same motive. Easier to write essays when you disagree with everything they say.

The Last Policeman
Ben H. Winters
@EFAFreelancers I just read the Last Policeman trilogy by Ben H Winters after it was mentioned in Donald Maass's The Emotional Craft of Fiction. Great mix of scifi and crime. And Maass's book is pretty good too!

Really loving the artistry in THE BROKEN PLACES by @FrancesLPeck. The characterization is exquisite. This book should be studied in writing classes. Also, the week I started reading it, we had a little earthquake! #amreading #thebrokenplaces https://t.co/thtn7ilhk5
