How Do I Reverse?
I know it sounds like a stupid question, but by the time I have the clutch all the way out I'm going 83 miles an hour, using just enough gas to keep the car from bucking me through the moon roof. I'm fighting for my life to get it going, fighting to see out the mirrors..... I'm used to backing up at Granny speeds. Then the anxiety of hitting Mach Jesus in reverse causes me to forget that I am responsible for steering.
Please help me.
I live on a dead end gravel lane, I'm going to practice just backing up straight and not letting off the clutch. When that seems less scary, I'll work on the steering, and then I'll work on hills. Thank you everyone for the advice!
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

Imagine you could get into a time machine and travel back to the 14th century.

What Moves the Dead - T. Kingfisher
When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruravia.
What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.
Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

Dear Vicky - Octavia Grant
Delusional /dΙΛloΝoZH(Ι)nΙl/ (adjective) - characterized by or holding false beliefs or judgments about external reality that are held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, typically as a symptom of a mental condition
Grocery store bag boy, Andrew, hates his job. No career growth, rude customers, and the forced customer appreciation greeting have taken a toll on his mental stability. Though his job gives him the flexibility to attend community college, he can find no other enjoyment there. That is until he met the woman that would change his life. During Andrewβs mundane day of grabbing and bagging, Victoria, a customer with an infectious smile and playful personality, gives him the attention that heβs been missing. Attention that now has Andrew believing that he and she are now in a committed relationship. Victoria has no idea that her friendly demeanor has landed her in the crosshairs of an unwell man. But sheβll soon learn that the old adage is You canβt be nice to everyone.
Get to know Andrew Patterson and discover how dangerous a delusion can be.

Brick Lane - Monica Ali
After an arranged marriage to Chanu, a man twenty years older, Nazneen is taken to London, leaving her home and heart in the Bangladeshi village where she was born. Her new world is full of mysteries. How can she cross the road without being hit by a car (an operation akin to dodging raindrops in the monsoon)? What is the secret of her bullying neighbour Mrs Islam? What is a Hell's Angel? And how must she comfort the naive and disillusioned Chanu?
As a good Muslim girl, Nazneen struggles to not question why things happen. She submits, as she must, to Fate and devotes herself to her husband and daughters. Yet to her amazement, she begins an affair with a handsome young radical, and her erotic awakening throws her old certainties into chaos.
Monica Ali's splendid novel is about journeys both external and internal, where the marvelous and the terrifying spiral together.

Mongrel - Hanako Footman
An exquisite debut novel weaving together the voices of three young women in Japan and the UK as the threads of their lives unspool in unexpected directions.
Mei loses her Japanese mother at age six. Growing up in suburban Surrey, she yearns to fit in with her peers, suppressing both her heritage and her growing love for her best friend Fran.
Yuki leaves her parentsβ farm in the Japanese countryside to pursue her dream of becoming a concert violinist. A lonely and homesick student in London, she finds herself caught up in the charms of her older teacher.
Haruka, a young bar hostess living in Tokyo, attempts to navigate the cityβs underworld and all of its many vices, as she grieves a mother who hid so many secrets from her.
Shifting between these three intergenerational narratives, Mongrel reveals a tangled web of isolation, yearning, love, and ultimately, hope.
