It was excellent.

The book Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff. It's the story of an extended black family in the early 50's and their encounters with cults, wizards, ghosts, otherworldly horrors...and the entrenched racism of the early 50's.

It's good on a lot of different levels and I think a lot of you might really be interested in it.

You know what's looking really pretty these days?
