Why do lots of people find it bizarre for someone to eat 6 boiled eggs in one sitting but not 12 devilled eggs and in one sitting? - eviltoast

    I have to go, but here’s some books you might like.

    If you like Neil Gaiman, look up Tanith Lee. Gaiman admits that she was his inspiration, and he stole a lot of his best ideas from her. “Night’s Master” is about a demon prince who travels the world seducing and/or tormenting humans.

    Alan Furst’s “Night Soldiers” is a WW2 era spy story that reads like a cross between Ian Fleming and Franz Kafka. A young Bulgarian fisherman becomes radicalized after fascists curb stomp his kid brother. He travels to Moscow and becomes a KGB agent in the Spanish Civil War.

    Colson Whitehead has two books about a 1960s Harlem fence. “Harlem Shuffle” and “The Crook Manifesto.” Reading them is like hanging out in a smoky barroom listening to some OG’s talking about life in the 1960s and 1970s.

    Enjoy!
