The Mad Codger finished reading A Generation of Sociopaths by Bruce Cannon Gibney
Well, that was depressing, but not altogether surprising.

Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.
I'm just a guy who likes to go on adventures, literary or otherwise. I mostly read fantasy, sci-fi, and/or litrpg.

I liked it. It wasn't a profound read, but it was warm and cozy. A little bit like of the X-Men were little kids and a government worker comes to check on them and falls in love with everything he didn't know he didn't know.
Warm and cozy.

Matt does not fail to disappoint on this, his sixth book. Full of the same irreverent humor as the previous books, he continues to keep the story engaging until the end. I'm already excited to see where the next book goes and whether this might be the end.

The Mad Codger rated Dungeons and Dragons: 4 stars
The Mad Codger finished reading Dungeons and Dragons by Random House Worlds
Not a bad introduction to the characters. Haven't seen the movie yet to see how it all ties together, but I'll appreciate knowing them already when I do see it.
The Mad Codger rated Nick and Charlie: 4 stars
The Mad Codger finished reading Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman
If you liked the original graphic novels, this is more of the same. A quick read, it continues on their young love and the stupid lack of communication that happens in all teenage romance stories. Worth the read though.
The Mad Codger rated The Guncle: 4 stars
The Mad Codger finished reading The Guncle by Steven Rowley
I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected to. A few times I even laughed very loudly out loud. A single gay uncle gets his brother's kids for the summer after a tragedy and has to navigate that. Some feels, some laughs, some good messages.
