The Delirium Brief

Charles Stross

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Mind candy, horror/spy comedy division. (Despite the fact that the events depicted here are, objectively, immensely worse than in the immediately previous "Bob" book in the series, I found this one vastly more enjoyable, which says something about the relatively palatability of marital dysfunction and looming apocalypse by trans-dimensional parasites for a divorced middle-aged man.)

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
