    I enjoy both fiction and nonfiction, but sometimes my brain enjoys a yarn. I just read a novel (fiction) by Victor Luxus. It's called "The Independent", and it's about the current political climate in America. Did not agree with everything in it, but it certainly was timely.

    Was on the fence whether to post here or in DEBATES since the topic is primarily political... but since it's a book, CULTURE seemed more appropriate.

    Anyway, it's worth a look. Though the guy obviously hates Trump, he takes it out on the Dems also. Maybe not "fair", but pretty well-balanced.

    I've read fiction called "The Independent" before, but there were too many irritating ads and auto-play videos and the site kept scrolling back to the top without me asking it to, and it was annoyingly prejudiced against anyone non-[i]salon[/i[-y on either side, so I rarely bother these days.

    You don't read print anymore? Just ebooks?

    I cannot fathom how you got that from what I wrote.
