If you had to read one book this year, read this.
It’s just February and I believe this is going to be the best story I’ve read in 2020.
A beautiful epistolary time-travel romance that is full of tiny bits of smart references that if you miss them, you won’t know they exist. I loved the reference to L’esprit de l’escalier. 🙂 Smashing piece of writing.

What if the world’s superheroes turned into zombies? I hope there are more such comics like this. The Elseworlds line could do with a Rebirth.

Heroes in Crisis was an interesting take on how superheroes deal with PTSD. And that line, “I am Batman. I don’t do press.” 😎

A story is not like a road to follow … it’s more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you.

Just like every other kids in the 90’s, Jurassic Park was my first introduction to the world of dinosaurs. I bought A Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs by Ben Garrod as part of the Audible Originals monthly selection for July.
Divided into six chapters, each chapter included interviews with paleontologists with insightful commentary.

- What is a Dinosaur?
- Size Matters
I learned about the Dreadnoughtus and the Patagotitan finds.
- Feathered Freaks
The velociraptor shown in Jurassic Park was not a velociraptor, but rather a Deinonychus.
- Who Needs Bones?
How fossils help us understand dinosaurs, including their poop?
- What is Not a Dinosaur?
There were no dinosaurs in the oceans. They were called Plesiosaurs.
- The Fall of Dinosaurs
We all know how that happened.
Overall, it was an interesting and captivating read that I definitely recommend.
