Whoops. Fell out of my reading habit. 😅 But found this on my shelf having never read it, and drawn to it as various people compared it to Silent Hill - a comparison that, I think, only extends to its setting; it's more sci-fi/mystery/Lovecraft, but nonetheless a fun ride as a cosy thriller-spook. 😁

Book 5! Another break-neck compulsive read. Gibson's prose is condensed and poetic, and it demands your attention, good memory, and detective skills; I got lost pretty frequently, especially with its 3 plotlines. I'll benefit from a reread to more fully absorb its themes but it was a fun ride!

Book 4! This is an extraordinary feat of imagination. But it is challenging. It's pure "show, don't tell", it moves at breakneck speed, and demands much of your intuition and attention to decipher it, but what a brilliant ride with much to consider about technology, humanity, and deus ex machina.

Book 3: Enticed by this with its focus on language, words, and translation, it's actually a very compelling portrait of people living within systemic racism (and how poisonous it is for everyone), the self-defeating nature of colonialism, and the power and necessity of protest. Enjoyed it! 😁

Book 2.
And my second Murakami book!
I loved this technological-Jungian-modern fairytale. I was hooked for huge portions of it, and came away rather moved by its portrayal of the nature of consciousness, mortality, immortality, and not acceptance per se, but the decision to accept.

My first book of 2025 (as I renurture my reading habit!).
I liked it. Interesting study of having the main character's psychology paint his perception of the outside world. Also the troubling and knotty moral implications and casuistry...
Loved the monologues, especially Porfiry Petrovich's. 😁

Remembrance Day always feels special to me; three times I played "Uncle" Osborne in Theatre Reviva!'s productions of RC Sherriff's JOURNEY'S END and the impact it had on our audiences astonished and moved me every time. The bravery of those men and the horrors they went through can't be overstated.
