    I need a fiction recommendation.

    I read a lot of non-fiction, but I’m in the mood for a story.

    I like fantasy/sci-fi if it’s not too campy.

    The last thing I really enjoyed was American Gods.

    I liked the GOT series but I’m not sure I can handle that much detail or violence right now. Also, I need something shorter.

    I couldn’t get into Outlander.

    I tried rereading the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series but it felt too dated and like I’d grown past it.

    What should I read? Anyone?

    Sandman - Neil Gaiman.

    It’s graphic novel but it’s really well written, dark and mature.

    What is wrong with society?! For all those people who complained about getting woken up from the amber alert on your phones, shame on you. While you’re worried about getting woken up, this little girl wasn’t lucky enough to have had the opportunity to wake up at all. She was taken from this life too early because of an evil act done by her very own father.

    What if that was your child, or someone you knew. What would you do then? I am sure if you recieved an alert in your favour you would not be complaining so selfishly.

    Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.

    The whole thing is heart breaking. I went to sleep and the amber alert had been cancelled. I felt happy that she was found. Never ever would I have imagine she was killed.

    And then right after I read she was gone, I read about people calling into 911 to complain about having their sleep disturbed. I was appalled. You’re right, what if it was their kids? And while they lay their head down on their pillow tonight and every night after, a mother will lay her head on hers and think about how she’ll never see her daughter again. You can wake me up anytime, any day, because every child deserves a chance to live. I say we take all those a-holes and put them in the middle of the ocean and them get all the rest they can.

    Just so you are aware, Taylor Swift keeps a list of Starbucks lovers, and you're on it!

    Thinking about what should I do with my hair? I typically buzz it off at this length but thinking of growing it out.

    Too violent? I would say no. I was 7 when it came out and I remember watching it on VHS lol but I watched it later in life and really realize how good of a movie it was. So he probably won't grasp a whole lot.

    Definitely. When in doubt, use common sense media, but then also use you’re own common sense as some movies like marvel movies are considered PG13, although I’m sure he watches them.

    What's worse; disinterest or anger?

    Context?
    Matters for the answer

    A friend, who previously I would speak to everyday. Now it's occasional and... Sterile, I suppose.

    disinterest
    anger shows passion, even if it's a negative passion

    Hearts lady, I feel you

    uhhh yep. the first few minutes or so are the most violent/detailed. I'd hold off a couple years.
