If you’re a Tom Robbins fan and haven’t read Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, I cant recommend it enough. Oh, oh, oh - and Life After God By Douglass Coupland.

2020-07-16 16:40:08 +0000 UTCUPDATE: I am currently reading So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo and I’m watching the show HANNA on amazon Prime. Both should be added to your lists if you haven’t read/seen already!

2020-07-08 18:46:48 +0000 UTCI loved the first 2 seasons of Homeland, but then I lost my Showtime subscription so I haven't seen the rest. Also loved the first seasons of Killing Eve and The Politician but have not yet seen the second seasons. I've heard that it's really good, but I don't think I could stomach watching Mrs. America. I was raised by a single working mom in the 1970s who subscribed to Ms. magazine and started using that title when it was still new. But I appreciate all of your suggestions -- thank you for sharing! Be well!

2020-07-02 16:52:56 +0000 UTCThe Last Picture Show is possibly very relevant to what is happening today in the US. The small town featured has not kept up with the times and just doesn't know what to do with itself. It's becomes trapped in a circle of pettiness, resentment, and hate.

2020-07-02 16:07:50 +0000 UTCNo plans for CD’s/vinyl yet but I’m really hoping to do a limited run of physical copies as soon as it’s financially doable. Fingers crossed.
