I'm finishing up work in a few hours, then headed home to some cold ones and a night of broccoli memes.
How about you?
You know, I can't say its been a particularly bad week, but I've been splitting my time between so many things that I'm just ready to relinquish control and see what life has in store. It seems to me that sometimes the best things in life come when you stop chasing for a day or two and let them come to you.
As for beer, I'm not picky. I'll probably swing by the corner store in a few minutes and try something new. Probably an IPA, since that seems to be half of their stock. As for a book, I have no idea. I'm open to suggestions if you have any. I'll read anything from old sci-fi to autobiographies.

I feel you. Its time to just let go and recoop.
IPA's are my first choice in beer. Two Hearted Ale makes a lovely craft IPA, but its a bit pricey. My go-to is Sierra Nevada or every now and then I'll pick up some Hoppadillo.
I'm scratching my head on suggestions for a good read. The last fiction book I read, and you're going to hate me for it, is the Hunger Games trilogy. I was kind of arm-twisted into the deal, but you know what? It was actually a compelling read once you get pass all the high school girly love triangle bullshit. I am a fan of the author's prose, their writing style was very exciting and each sentence led to the next perfectly.
The last nonfiction book I read was equally as compelling but a bit depressive. It is called Confessions of an Economic Hitman and was recommended to me by a very good friend. Its an autobiographical account of a guy who worked for a corporation that was partaking in destabilizing third world countries with energy efficiency contracts. It is real life and gives a very sinister view at most top levels of politics.

Hey, no hate here. I actually enjoyed that series. I liked the way the dystopian world was built, and the arena stuff was pretty brutal for young adult fiction.
Confessions of an Economic Hitman
Holy crap! I listened to an interview with the author years ago on some podcast, but I lost track of which one and couldn't remember the name of the book. I think that just jumped to the top of my list. Thanks for the reminder!

Sounds like you've had a rough week. I feel that one, sometimes its all we can do to just drive home and be on autopilot for a few hours before starting it all over again. I try to maintain my sense of autonomy though.
What kind of beer do you like to drink, and what book were you thinking about?
