    Running The Light by Sam Tallent. Novel about a fictional stand up comedian, old road dog that was once huge but his career has taken a nose dive since the late 80s early 90s. Huge fan of the real author’s real stand up so I picked it up, and it’s funny and sad and “real” and goddamn this guy can write.

    That and comics as always, as you well know I’m sure haha.

    Btw for anyone here so far unaware, I’m going to plug Bookwyrm real fast. It’s basically goodreads but federated and private and not owned by scamazon. Pick you an instance and sign on up! There’s not really a good app for it but I use it in the browser and it works just fine. It’s neat, just needs to grow a bit!
