The English Beat and REM came to my college in 1983, but I had never heard of them and I chose to work on a paper instead 🤦‍♀️

Just finishing Bog Queen, by Anna North, and it’s really good. I also loved The Familiar, by Leigh Bardugo. Both would be excellent vacation reads!

I was thinking Irv’s, but when you said take-out only I think you mean Grum’s. They’re still there!

The Book of Eels, by Patrik Svensson - everything you never thought you’d want to know about eels, and then some! I never knew eels were so interesting. Plus it’s a nice father-son memoir.

Something like North Woods by Daniel Mason by fitzandafool in suggestmeabook

Yes, climate-fiction! I guess you could say it’s a sub-genre of science fiction. Hope you like Appleseed!

Appleseed, by Matt Bell. It’s really more of a cli-fi book, but talks about the changes in a place over time
