i grew up a sheltered evangelical, and david's songwriting was some of the first exposure i had to anything that wasn't sanitized to nothing. i left religion a decade ago and left all the music behind, but this just reminded me of how much i enjoyed his work. excited to listen to this to reintroduce

New books by John Scalzi on a bookshelf
