Finished reading The Far Reaches Collection. Short stories by some heavy hitters. Really enjoyed it. Free with Amazon prime, cheap if not. 📚
Finished reading: Neuromancer by William Gibson 📚
It’s in some ways a retro future, others impossibly far off, and still others very present.
It’s so slathered in invented lingo that I found it hard to follow at points, but I was content to let the overall effect wash over me.
Currently reading: Neuromancer by William Gibson 📚Time to confirm my nerd card.
Finished reading: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky 📚What a ride. Avoided so many sci-fi cliches, and was genuinely compelling.
Stopped reading: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I was enjoying it, but since I’m traveling light I decided to not take any physical books with me. 📚
📚 Started reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovksy.
Started reading: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, by Dave Eggers. This one wasn’t on my radar at all, but a friend had an extra copy, and I’m intrigued! 📚
Finished reading: Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke. What a beautiful, riveting, and emotional journey, all told through journals! 📚
Started reading: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I read Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell years ago and enjoyed it, so am really excited for this one. 📚
Finished reading: Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. Nihilistic, weird, brutal, and well observed. I really liked it. 📚
Started reading: Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. One of those books I never read. This is one of those books I probably wouldn’t have appreciated when they were required reading, but am loving now. 📚
Finished reading: Sourcery: A Discworld Novel. As with any Discworld novel, its total escapist fun, with the problems of the real world layered in. Some of the probably-progressive-seeming-at-the-time characterizations of Conina could be left back in 1988, but overall really enjoyable. 📚
Started reading: Sourcery: A Discworld Novel by Terry Pratchett.
Finished reading: Bea Wolf, by Zach Weinersmith and illustrated by Boulet. An adaptation of Beowulf for children, and absolutely delightful.
Finished reading: But now am found, by Patricia Horvath. Beautiful short story collection, each a compact gut punch.
Started reading: But Now Am Found by Patricia Horvath 📚.
Finished reading: The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. Breezy fun for people who like to think 📚.
Started reading: The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi.
Finished reading: A Subversive’s Guide to Improvisation by David Razowsky. It took me about a month. I found the biography section pretentious and long winded, but found the improv philosophy and practices inspiring 📚.
Started reading: A Subversive’s Guide to Improvisation by David Razowsky 📚.
Finished reading: Responsible JavaScript by Jeremy Wagner. Good quick read on performance and minimizing JS, and I learned a few things. Felt good to know a lot of it and/or agree on the philosophy already 📚.
