What I Just Finished Reading
Susannah Cahalan, The Great Pretender: The Undercover Mission That Changed Our Understanding of Madness: While a lot of this felt like reading an advertisement for her previous book, Brain on Fire, which I have not read, I do think she does a convincing job showing that the man who wrote the famous article "On Being Sane in Insane Places" definitely fudged a lot of specific numbers in his data, misrepresented other things, and disqualified one of his subjects on the grounds that he actually liked his time there. So... that's a thing.
What I'm Reading Now
Well, it's not comics. On the plus side, I'm almost done bagging and boarding my pile of comics from the past six months.
What I'm Reading Next
Not sure yet. I was hoping that the Hugo people would send out a packet for the voters so I could get started on reading some of the nominees but that hasn't happened. Maybe Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Water Dancer, although, man, I am really sick of his Cap run.
