As an inveterate collector I realize there is the potential to go too far, but most just as dangerous is the potential of becoming a President Business who sneers at men enjoying whimsy, imagining he’s a Serious Adult and instead is just a Boring Adult.

When I read Frankenstein to my very intelligent daughter, she noted the initial chapters are about the Doctor’s studies in alchemy & the dark arts. So she concluded the Creature was not brought to life by science but was possessed/revived by a demonic spirit.
Meaning the novel is fantasy, not SF.

For some reason almost everybody seems content with reusing the original Don Maitz cover art and I can't say I object to this.

I think a lot about the Gene Wolfe short story Forlesen where a robot accidentally wanders from the grueling menial part of the factory to the stocks part, and suddenly nothing makes sense, he's throwing around more money than he's ever seen and it's suddenly 50 years later and he's about to die

I should put it up on the shelf with my Gene Wolfe books, who, coincidentally, has sent me to the dictionary more than any other author.

Started reading Book of the New Sun out loud to my partner before bed.
Mad respect to Jonathan Davis for narrating the audiobook. I don't think I've ever tripped over words this much while reading.
