I only managed to read two books last month - both by Matt Ruff. The first was Lovecraft Country - already heavily touted here and thanks for that. I enjoyed this a lot - the somewhat episodic form dovetailing nicely with my slow pace so I could savor it leisurely. Then I went on to Bad Monkeys, Ruff's thriller where he takes reality around a few bends. Enjoyable, but not as complex or satisfying as Lovecraft Country.

Now I've got a post-apocayptic novel lined up: The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker.

I was surprised what a complex mix of Lovecraft and black segregation it was. It would make an awesome film but I'm not sure that anyone could do it justice in less than a mini-series format.
