Books to Check Out: What I Read in May 2022
This month was mainly filled with short story goodness for me. It’s nice to read shorter works in between all those big novels, and I felt due for something shorter. I’m always excited to recommend short stories; they’re always less appreciated than novels. So, take a look below and explore all your short story desires.

Leave The Projector On
This year has been a tough one; and while this writer is no stranger to psychological duress, he is also a firm believer in escapism. I have always enjoyed media and entertainment that can take one to another place for even the briefest stretch of time, whether it be through two-hour play, a twenty-four-page comic book or a handful of brief ambient tracks. None of it’s the same but they can all mute the noise between the ears, if only for a while.

Barry Season 3 Episode 6 '710N' Review
WOW, what an intense episode. I was grasping my head with my mouth hanging open for the entire climax of 710N. The drama is escalating. This episode brings fans something that they didn’t know they needed in an episode of Barry. An epic car chase. This was the best-directed episode I have seen on TV in the longest time. Comedy, drama, and surprises are nailed.
