No Super Bowl? 9 Books to Read

Now that I've got your attention...here's the link to that feature, which includes Annihilation but also a bunch of really fascinating titles, some of which I haven't read. Also some nice design featured.Even if you are watching the Super Bowl, you could do worse than spend half-time listening to NPR's To The Best of Our Knowledge, which today featured stellar interviews with Sofia Samatar, Nnedi Okorafor, Lauren Beukes, and Claudia Rankine, and more. In their last hour, they re-ran this feature on weird fiction, which includes an interview about the Southern Reach novels.Nnedi talked more about her novel Lagoon in this LA Times piece I wrote last year, about autobiography in SF/Fantasy. Also featuring Lauren Beukes.If none of that floats your boat, I strongly suggest you check out Broad City, which is available on Cable on-demand. An amazing, hilarious show that's kind of what Girls could've been, with more zany.Southern Reach Trilogy
