Today is National Read a Book Day. Celebrate by not reading a book about Trump.
I know, I know, it's so every week right now, to the point where the publishing houses are praising Holy Jeebus that Trump is President. Though they have no love for him, they can't discount what he does for sales. That goes for cable news, print news and comedy shows. And you know you're waiting for Woodward's book to drop. Can't wait to see how the minutiae plucked from the broad strokes we already about know culminates as if it will change a thing.
So here's what... pick up a book that makes you remember what it is to be human from someone else's perspective.
To celebrate National Read a Book Day, I will now commemorate the first ever (Somewhat Inaccurate) Top Ten List of Top Ten Things that I Recommend for Reading Before You Die in the Top Ten Ways to Die (list TBA).
1. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
2. The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
3. Mirrors, Eduardo Galeano
4. Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky
5. Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes
6. The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, Jose Saramago
7. Dark Spring, Unica Zurn
8. The Plague, Albert Camus
9. Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag
10. Hunger, Knut Hamsun

20... I know I said Top ten, but I got on a roll.
20. 1897: Aliens! Vampires! Zombies! because at the end of the day, I still have to shill. Get it now, get it here.
