Rated Right as Rain 6/10

a good, ever-so-slightly trashy DC-based mystery.

Rated Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story 8/10

An enjoyable introduction to the question "why is there something instead of nothing," from the perspectives of philosophy, physics, theology and logic. These are questions I haven't read much about and am mostly agnostic about; I remain agnostic about them in general but really enjoyed reading the author's interaction with a number of different possibilities of why we're here in this particular universe. A little sophistic and overly self-aware, but brain-stretchy and fun. I recommend it!

Rated Children of Time 9/10

Bit disappointed by the end, but I would die for those spiders
