I think about leaving Southern California and then I remember how miserable I was living in Atlanta in the spring. The entire Eastern seaboard and northern Europe is now a no-go zone between April and July, unless I'm medicated up to the gills.

If you need a break from these excellent book recommendatons and want to watch a film on similar themes, The Lives of Others is fantastic.
