book i got from a book swap last year. it’s fine

feeling so meh about this compared to The Martian

listening on a bootlegged audiobook uploaded as a podcast so percentage is fully a guess.

The genre science fiction is so broad and vast but if we had to narrow it down, I would say this is the most scientific fiction can gets. But sometimes it feels more like science porn than an actual story, there is so much intellectual exposition/explanation it can be annoying

also… aliens???? hm

“The next day was even drearier and the only thing to be said in its favor was that it had the unreality of a nightmare”

yeah this guy gets it

oh my god this is so good!

last few chapters tore me apart but now mr steinbeck is slowly stitching me back together

been a long time since a book has made me cry- wow…

children of big families do NOT read this book

finally starting to really enjoy this!!!! wow!!!

switching between audio and physical book. this Cathy’s a real piece of work i’ll tell u that

..relistening on audiobook

WOW- what a difference a 2 years can make. I think an argument could be made for this book to be classified under the horror genre.

Last time i read I think i got a lot of the wrong messages out of it- going to wait to see if by the end my mind has changed at all. Lots of themes on authenticity, cowardice, and the little good romantic chemistry does to make up for our flaws

some of this is going over my head full disclosure

i already know this is gonna give me some messed up nightmares

so far the easiest LeGuin book to get into. probably cause it takes place on earth (portland specifically!)

pretty lovely although a little cheesy/fanfictiony at times
