If you’re looking for a good audiobook, just finished listening to Willy Vlautin’s The Night Always Comes, narrated by my friend, the inimitable @YoLakin. Great thriller that foregrounds class struggle, read by an awesome actor.

NOTHING prepared me for Richard Hughes' insane novel, A High Wind in Jamaica. The freshest narrative voice I've encountered in years, I was surprised every time I picked it up. And the thing's 90 years old.
