#DrinkupReadup

Drinking and reading - two of my most favorite past times. Wrap your fingers around a drink and get lost in the pages of a book.

“The Girl With All the Gifts” by M.R. Carey tells the story of a young girl named Melanie who just wants to be loved and hugged by her teacher, Miss. Justineau. Every morning at gunpoint, she is physically strapped to a wheelchair to start her day. It turns out that the whole being completely bound to a wheelchair really hinders the physical contact thing. But, then again, it is the same for all the children in her class… but only when they leave their cells. This post-apocalyptic thriller and ethical mess strips away humanity on so many levels, but leaves a core that is heartfelt, honest, and supremely human.

So the world is basically over as you know it, humanity is split into factions, and it feels other worldly. What else do you do but drink? Well, you are not going to have time for a languid drink, but a shooter is perfect in this moment. Take a moment to slurp down some Alien Brain Hemorrhages.
