Atomic Reading Club 2024: The End

Image
  We thought 2024 might be an appropriate year to explore the way things end. Careers, relationships, our emotional state, the world. All things end. Maybe even American democracy. But on the bright side, often the end of one thing is the beginning of something new. We're not sure how we'll be feeling by this time in 2025, so let's get ahead of things and look at The End. OUR 2024 THE END READING LIST January - Monica by Daniel Clowes February - The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa March - Tender Is The Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica April - My Year Of Rest And Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh May - Out by Natsuo Kirino June - This Is The End Of Something But It's Not The End Of You by Adam Gnade July - Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin August - The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert September - Slow Horses by Mick Herron October - Toad by Katherine Dunn November - Human Target (complete, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2) by Tom King / Greg Smallwood December

Atomic Reading Club 2023 - Outer Limits

Image
Our theme this year is Outer Limits (as in "the outer limits of human belief"). It's like an X-files year! Or an In Search Of year. It's not about the supernatural but more like the paranormal, or the cultural history of investigations into the nature of such things. UFOs but not sci-fi. Not ghost stories but ghost hunting.

Things that exist at the very outer limits of human belief. OUR 2023 OUTER LIMITS READING LIST January - Desert Oracle: Volume 1: Strange True Tales from the American Southwest by Ken Layne February - I Hate This Place Volume 1 by Kyle Starks / Artyom Topilin / Lee Loughridge March - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel by Olga Tokarczuk April - Communion: A True Story by Whitley Stieber May - Swamplandia! by Karen Russell June - Demon-Haunted World: Science as
