Come on in out of this chilly Virginia air and settle in.

We'll have one longer story for you tonight.

Before we get to that, a quick note about my reading.

I just finished Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country. It's a finalist on

Goodread's 2016 Reader's Choice Award, and by the time you're hearing this, the competition

will be over, so maybe it's a winner, too. The premise of the book is Black People in Jim Crow

era America dealing with the supernatural, specifically a Lovecraft-esque

secret cult, all the while being hassled by racist neighbors and terrorized by racist cops.

The plot itself isn't filled with twist and turns, but it's very well written, with believable

and consistent characters.

The worst part about the book is that the nasty things in the book that happened to the characters by way of racist feelings

are very believable because there are things that happened in my home country.

I encourage you to give this one a read.
