Now is Not the Time to Panic (Book #1)

Now is Not the Time to Panic (Book #1)

Review: One word to describe this book: phenomenal. Kevin Wilson is a truly inspired author, and he's definitely a master of truly absurd short stories and plots. He's definitely an author that I would recommend to fans of fabulism. To start with his writing, I would suggest his short story collection Tunneling to the Center of the Earth. It's magnificent if a little dark at times.


​Productivity: This book was remarkably easy to get through. I finished it in only two days just powered by sheer interest and connection to the story. Reading for long periods of time, however, is a difficult thing to master. The best reading environment is different for everyone. Some people do best in crowded areas, surrounded by action. Some need to be alone in a calm, isolated area. If you're best at reading in crowded areas - go to a coffee shop! The cozy feel is conducive to a great reading spot, but it's also nice to hear the murmurs of other people. If you get out of the house and put yourself out there, it can also give you much more motivation to get your reading done. If you'd like to be isolated - make yourself a reading spot. I've got one in my closet with a beanbag and some noise-canceling headphones, and it's shocking how productive you can be.


TLDR: Kevin Wilson is a master of the short story, and it's much easier to read when you know your reading style. Try it out!
