Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution 5 / 5 stars A pointed, definitely anti-conservative, sometimes profane analysis of white supremacist roots of the Constitution of the United States of America. Elie has a distinct writing voice that some might find offensive, but I urge you to look past it and absorb the history he is sharing and his clear eyed assessment of our Constitution and possible ways to make it better for everyone. Definitely read the Epilogue for his candidate suggestions for improvement.

A wonderful second book in the series. Abdullah's story slowly builds and reveals his character and wit. When characters from the first Bill finally started appearing I was fully invested in Abdullah's story. It was good to have them but they were incidental to me. #Bookstodon

My daughter is a fan of the web comic and likes the graphic novels a lot too. Her glowing descriptions have persuaded the whole family to start reading the graphic novel. It's an interesting story so far! 5 / 5 stars #Bookstodon

Fleet of Knives by Gareth L. Powell (Embers of War #2)
Roy Adams started reading Tales For Tra-La-La Day (Monkey Mind Tales) by Steve Michael Reedy
The 4th book in Steve Michael Reedy's Monkey Mind Tales anthology. I'm really looking forward to reading this book.
Roy Adams stopped reading Space Oddity by Catherynne M. Valente (Space Opera)
The book is too disjointed and repetitive for me right now. Seem to be paragraphs that were badly copied and pasted several times. I might try it again someday, but life is short.
Good fantasy stories from the late 1880's.
4 stars
Warning that several stories include mentions of slavery as a "normal" practice.
