I just need the conclusion to the Sol/Rachel story, then I can move on from this series - don't tease me Mr. Simmons!

Definitely a traditional style sci-fi novel - I have to say I'm enjoying it a bit more than Hyperion so far; I think it's something to do with knowing the characters and terms already so I can sit back and enjoy the story without having to look things up constantly

Peter D. is 33% done with The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics
This is wild - so if you just overthrew the ruler of a government, you need to kill/exile a good chunk of your helpers; unless you’re absolutely sure they’re 100% loyal to you, you know they’re willing to rise up against the current leader & you gotta keep them happy (with much $$$) or it’s only a matter of time before they come for you! 😅

I read this for the first time when I was in 7th grade, which was probably too early considering the mention of abuse and adult themes, but it profoundly changed the way I thought about books, especially in the horror genre.

Excited now to revisit Jack, Wendy, and Danny's story & see if it lives up to how I remember it!

KH nails the shear brutality of war and the pain that lingers with the survivors after living through seemingly endless atrocities; Reminds me strongly of Elie Wiesel, just a masterclass of storytelling.

Peter D. is 85% done with Brave New World
Reading this book has been a surreal experience, I feel like I need a couple rereads just to make sure I’m correctly understanding everything that went down over the last 200 pages
