Chapter 1—a hint of things to come, and a heavy dose of devistation at what could have been if the Library of Alexandria had endured. Where would we be? And knowing the library was destroyed, feels like the attacks on our informational and educational institutions today.

Much different from the Netflix show. So different, yet familiar, I know I can enjoy both of these independent from each other. The cop is the same in both, though, so that’s fun. The book is much more “hard” scifi and totally in China (so far as I’ve read). The footnotes for the edition I’m reading are a nice clarifier for history and context.

I’m reading an ARC graciously provided by Meerkat of the upcoming rerelease.
Like the Cipher, this is a book that feels like New York. Skin so far feels a bit like the culture of self-mutilation from the 1980’s & 90’s, an early NIN concert, some Robot Wars, and that love of art over everything else that can launch or destroy a creative. Can’t wait for the turn…

Finished J.A.W. McCarthy’s LAMAI, and where I don’t want to be consumed by a house spirit breaking its way into reality through drywall and insulation, I have often desired being consumed by an embrace—to feel like becoming one with something I love and cherish. Unsettling, yet emotionally moving.

I have been assured a cursed planet.

Chapter 38 begins: “No matter the outcome of my time on this world, the death of my mother will always remain unfinished business.”

And that is me in a sentence.

Read a fight scene as if it was narrated by Brock Sampson and now it’s all I hear in my head.

I started reading this in a fit of depression. I am a slow reader and, if you look at my currently reading list, you’ll see a few ongoing. But this is one I’ve really wanted to get into. To enjoy and study. Very pleased so far.

I’m reading The Love that Whirls by Joe Koch and I mean zero offense to anyone living or dead, but I have chosen the cadence of Vincent Price and I am delighted to no end.
