    I just wanted to tell you that as someone in eating disorder recovery, I always really appreciate how you include your meals in your videos. It has helped me on nights when sometimes I need a little help, and I wanted to say thank you. ❤

    When you were talking about Beautyland, that made me think of the author Ray Bradbury who wrote a short story called "All Summer in a Day" which has stuck with me for years.

    The foward collection is a great short story collection of sci-fi . The best one was emergency skin. Lakewood I’d say is kind of medical sci fi. Very light but I’d say it fits. Also John marrs came out with the latest books in his sci-fi series. Marriage pact and family experiment.

    If you haven't tried it yet, On Earth as it is on Television by Emily Jane is a really wholesome scifi. Honestly, the only scifi thing about it is the aliens. It's also one that kind of makes you think what kind of person you would be if the worst happened.

    Based on the comments about imagining a 'what-if' world, you might like the Plot Against America (A NYT choice for best of 21st cent.). Ostensibly it imagines a world where instead of a 3d term for FDR America instead elects Charles Lindberg as President, though actually the close focus is on the changes it exacts on a working class family in New Jersey. Thx Gab - Happy birthday, and if I may I must say you really rocked that leather jacket look!

    Have you read The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery? I recently read that book because I saw another youtuber reading it. If you liked the beautiful descriptions in Orbital, I was completely stunned by the descriptions in The Blue Castle. It's also very character driven and witty, and has romance.

    Because of your review of Yours for the taking I think you'd like Goldilocks by L.R. Lam.
    And if you want a cute graphic novel, check out Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too by Jomny Sun for an alien's philosophical view on earth.

    I have followed you for the last 7 years. I ignored the politics. I hate all politics. Then you said Fight Club was a boy book, even though my marriage and children are based around this book. It's out world. It isn't a boy book or a bro book, it's a universal book based on life. You clearly do not love reading anymore. I have to walk away. I loved you and will delete this comment based on how much hate I will get. And that's just further proof I need to leave. Good bye.
