Good morning Womble! I am currently rereading the astonishing Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Definitely hits different the second time round. Also I'm listening to the Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi, first time round.

That book is still with me since I read it years ago. Maybe I need a re-read too

Do! It's timeless. The first time I read it, about 10 years ago, I had no idea when it was set and assumed it was from the 80s until I read the cost of rent in New York 😄. On a reread its now obvious of it's era. It's still an incredible work.
