Ok. With all this AI & sentience discourse flying around we definitely need to read Blindsight or a book about the fae next. I have a short list of fae stuff from some of you, feel free to toss in more here, or Blindsight-adjacent recommendations too #bskybc

So they’ve got some pretty grim folk tales here on Gethen eh? Of course, I come from a whole planet of perverts, so maybe my judgment is flawed

How’s everybody enjoying themselves?

Hello #bskybc! It looks like The Left Hand of Darkness has twenty chapters, if we do our usual schedule that’s five chapters a week. Nice and manageable. How would we feel about starting tomorrow?

And the winner izzzzz *drum roll* The Left Hand of Darkness! I’ll be reading an ancient paperback I found in a free box, but as always there are lots of cheap used copies with free (USA) shipping on Abe Books. Get yours today! We’ll start idk Wednesday? #bskybc
