... I'm trying to slowly take in the story, word by word. It's hard to resist gulping it down.

Taking a break to read another book with a friend

holy moly this book is weird. I love it.

A mention of the Huntington Library in Pasadena!

Wow, the scenes in Harlem are vivid!

Aka: The life of a mediocre man.

This has become very engrossing

Finally getting to the chapter that was omitted in the original US edition.

I'm listening to the audiobook, and the Greek chorus is genius!

I'm going to have to take this in lomticks, with a Nadsat dictionary to help with the slovos.

I'm already running out of steam on this one....

A dystopian novel written by a woman in 1918?!

I'm getting tired of the ongoing saga of William F Wells, surely there are other scientists in aerobiology that can be profiled?

I want to read Blankets next, which is Thompson's de-conversion story. Luckily my library has a few copies.

Slowing down on this one a bit - I'm caught up with my spouse. We've had some good chats about how different this hits in 2025, actually living in Los Angeles.

I can’t quite put my finger on why this feels like antiquated sci-fi…

I’m reading this for Mars, not Earth! 👎

Might pick this up again next year…

Good stuff so far... finally got to some existential questions.

I got these from Humble Bundle!

Hound of the Baskervilles: Chapter 5. Doyle is really giving Sherlock and Watson character! Novel vs. short stories?

Every page of this story just gets weirder and weirder.

Koo koo ka choo.

Such slow progress, and I'm losing interest... What to do?

The location descriptions are amazing.

ChickieNobbs do indeed get a mention.

Awesomesauce! Atwood has included a synopsis of O&C and YotF at the start of MaddAddam! Thank goodness, because its been a decade since I've read O&C. And my mind is a sieve.

This reminds me of John Wyndham...
