Recent Read: Blindness by José Saramago

"A stark and, at times, nihilistic take on the human experience and just how fragile society is around us."

Recent Read: The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat

"Surreal and hypnotic, there are few stories I’ve read that have carried so much atmosphere and yet can tell a tale with a strong central character and a plot as fun as it is befuddling."

💔 Urgent Appeal 💔
My husband is in critical condition; the infection has reached his bone. We urgently need a culture test, a wheelchair to help him move, tests, and daily bandages.
Medicines are very expensive in Gaza. $500 urgently needed 🙏
Please don’t leave him alone

Recent Read: Extremophile by Ian Green

My largest complaint is I wanted more of what’s been offered: of the despicable villains and the body horror they wreak; crunchy world building and a greater exploration of biohackers and body modifications.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"It is as though it had been spent in some frigid zone and in eternal darkness while all the time within me burned a flame which consumed me as the flame consumes the candle."
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"It pulls at my clothing and sometimes I feel I've got to pick it up, cuddle and kiss it."

Watched a few films today, 100 Meters was probably the best. Fun and heartfelt story about what it means to succeed in a world that takes months, even years to prepare for and only exists for 10 seconds. Excellent animation and great music too!

Recent Read: Complete Stories by Clarice Lispector

"Lispector places character and allegory above any possible thematic element or plot based tale, zeroing in on the most human and most deranged aspects of literature."

What are some of your best police watch websites / resources / books / organizations ???

"This album is far from bad, but being their self-titled release makes this feel like a nail in the coffin for any hope I had for AB actually progressing."

Jamobo's Review of 'Alter Bridge' by Alter Bridge
A self-titled release typically becomes something of a statement by a band or artist, a proclamation that "this here is who we are", especially so when made several albums deep into a multi-decade lon...

"Mrs. Dalloway is an incredibly interesting story and one I must return to after I’ve better gotten used to Woolf’s style, but for now, this didn’t quite live up to the fuss that’s made about it."
