Politicians propose a bold new plan to help students cope with exam stress: eating books. 📚
The idea? If knowledge is power, why not consume it directly? Cafeterias may soon replace sandwiches with Shakespeare and side salads of calculus. Experts warn: “Side effects include bad plots and paper cuts.”
@arnfinnp I'm guessing that you have already checked, but @deichman have the apps #Libby and #BookBites and it might (but probably not) be on there.

A lil snippet from Arthur and George by Julian Barnes that made me giggle.

I need to figure out bookwyrm so I can share my thoughts on how deeply mid The Kaiju Preservation Society was. It's so solidly "okay." It's a novel for your geeky boyfriend that "doesn't read much anymore."
The audiobook is narrated by Will Wheaton. If that's exciting to you, you'll like the book. If that makes you sigh and have Ready Player One flashbacks, skip it.
The Book Eaters, by Sunyi Dean
I don't know how to categorize this book -- literary gothic horror? It combines disparate flavors masterfully, with just the right amount of tawdry thriller thrown into the mix to make it accessible to a mass audience. It's like a master chef making an "elevated" pineapple pizza. This is one I'll be coming back to again.
A spectacular seven-course meal of a novel that served up everything I wanted and more. I'm sated.
The Kaiju Preservation Society, by John Scalzi
The most Okay book I've read this year. It's fine. It's very much a novel for your geeky boyfriend that doesn't really get into reading. The audiobook is narrated by Will Wheaton. If that's exciting to you, you'll like the book. If that makes you sign and have Ready Player One flashbacks, maybe skip this one.
Thanks Bri, I don't do much tweeting any more, but this is super!!
