Location: Austin, Tx		I just finished my 3rd and final "Weird" book, Don't Read This Book edited by Chuck Wendig. It's a bit of an obscure one (all the better for the weird catagory, right?) because it's a collection of short fiction based on the "Don't Rest Your Head" RPG. As with most short story collections there were some that were to my taste and some that weren't. And as with any short story collection where writers are commissioned to write stories, there is at least one that wouldn't have gotten published on its own merits. But, as far as weirdness goes, there was a lot of it. My favorite story, "Don't Lose Your drek" by Robin D Laws is about an insomniac music journalist who has invented his own invisible punctuation mark and is wandering the aisles of a convenience store trying to figure out which can of energy drink will keep him awake instead of making him crash.
