I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer When someone mentioned this title to me, I did a little investigating. Here’s what I discovered: it’s a true crime book about a serial rapist turned serial murderer, the author died while working on the book, she was married to Patton Oswalt, and she’s my age. I felt compelled to read it. It’s not my cup of tea, but McNamara’s writing is good, “The knife grazes the skin, and the labored breathing resumes, grows closer, until she feels him settle in next to her, an animal waiting patiently for its half-dying quarry to still.” Plan on reading it during the day.

Read any Non-fiction book. You pick the subject: history, memoir, tech,
science, brain. Let's discussion our reading or offer suggestions to others for this topic.

Read a book that takes place far away from our beloved 802 of today. You decide what this means. Korea? Outer-space? Was the author born in a country around the globe or is the setting far from here? Let's talk about our "distant lands" books here.

Read a book with a cover you hate or pick a genre that you don’t

Read a book that's a collection; perhaps of short stories, essays, plays.

Read a Graphic Novel. It could be based on a superhero, like Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Black Panther #1 or realistic fiction like The Wendy Project. Science Fiction, history, manga. Really any subject, but in graphic novel format.
