Finished #audiobook Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. Well, I didn't really enjoy this book all that much until I got to the end. The story has two parallel stories in it. One is about a disabled woman and her trials and adventures, and the other is about robots after the end of humanity and their trials and adventures. Ultimately, I did enjoy the end. Which if you know the story is a whole level of irony, I guess. But I won't spoil it here.

1) A lovely time with my son at the playground,
2) Some time for reading,
3) Anxious People (by Fredrik Backman) is a really good novel. Recommended!
In my meanderings, I found myself at Old Goat's temporary lodgings in Waterloo's old post office.
While I picked up a copy of John Ralston Saul's Reflections of a Siamese Twin, Andrew mentioned they had the Folio Society edition of MFK Fisher's An Alphabet for Gourmets. So yes, it came home with me, too.
I really liked The Western Wind but this one wasn't for me. It's very much "look at the Earth, it's like a blue jewel" which is fine and it's written really well but if you've read Carl Sagan and a bunch of other stuff about space and seen the documentaries and stuff you'll have encountered this kind of thing before. I can see why it won the Booker, but it's a bit like when literary SF wins prizes from people who don't normally read SF. Also no lasers. #bookstodon
Seen on Goodreads. Very niche:
You should read this book if you like:... postapocalyptic convent life
Help me pick my next read.
Or dont.
IDGAF.
I gave up on Fortune Falls because book 1 was communalist survivalism & book 2 is " oh btw yall get Super Soldier Serum " out of literally nowhere.
So yeah, a paradigm shift of that magnitude is jumping the shark for me.
So with that in mind..what is next?
