"Days and Nights of Love and War by Eduardo Galeano is an absolutely gut wrenching work of art. Composed of fragments of journalism and dreamlike poetry. I don't have the words to properly praise it. I think it's hard for this book not to bring you to tears or at least close to it." — Mar 17, 2025 09:08AM

"I've already watched the movie adaptation (one of my favorite films of all time) so I was very excited when my dad let me borrow his copy for the book it was based on. I love the way that the Strugatskys write the Zone. It feels ethereal and the way it's talked about is very well done. I'm liking it." — Feb 19, 2025 09:03AM

"Anna Louise Strong never disappoints with her journalism. I've been sorely neglecting Laos (largely Viet Nam as well) in terms of reading/knowledge on the country pre and post revolution. Strong starts out at the very beginning of the country coming out of the dissolution of French rule in Indo-China, which I feel is a very good choice in giving context to the rest of the history explained after." — Jan 29, 2025 09:23AM

“See on see, kuhu nihilism viib. See ei ole enam see, mis võiks olla, või see, mis võiks mitte. See on. Kogu maailm on vahetu entroponeetilise katastroofi tsoon.”

“The furies are at home
in the mirror; it is their address.
Even the clearest water,
if deep enough can drown.
Never think to surprise them.
Your face approaching ever
so friendly is the white flag
they ignore. There is no truce
with the furies. A mirror’s temperature
is always at zero. It is ice
in the veins. Its camera
is an X—ray. It is a chalice
held out to you in
silent communion, where gaspingly
you partake of a shifting
identity never your own.”

“Because people die. The fear: that nothing survives. The greater fear: that something does.”

“The terrible noise of time approaches, the most violent sound in the world. There is no longer a golden light that falls on the room, but a very deep Pale. All the distances there are insurmountable, there is a horror vacui between every object and the next.”
