Calling it quits here. I just don't care about any of these characters.

Angela is 34% done with Darwin's Ghosts: The Secret History of Evolution
I haven't touched this book in over a week, so obviously I am not that interested. Back to the library it goes.

I've had this book from the library over two months (renewed it twice) and I just can't get interested in it. Letting it go today. Life's too short to read books you don't like.

Calling it quits after chapter one. Our heroine annoys the fuck out of me.

The Diamond Age

Angela
Angela is 60% done with Cryptonomicon
After renewing my checkout of this library book twice, I'm returning it for the final time, unfinished. I just couldn't get back into it. Too much of a slog, too many characters to track, still quite funny in spots but overall, I'm done.

Had to return to the library because my time was up and someone was waiting for it. Put it back on my request list. Hopefully I'll remember what's going on when it becomes available again.

Cryptonomicon

Angela
Angela is 33% done with Cryptonomicon
Considering adding to DNF pile. The only part of this I find interesting is the WW2 cryptography section, followed in descending order by the modern-day data haven story and the WW2 battle story. I'll give it a couple more chapters because I did finish it once.

Angela
Angela is 14% done with The Raw Shark Texts
Just putting this out there: I suspect Clio's death was not an accident and if I'm right, I'm pretty sure I know who killed her.

Also, the title appears to be a play on the words "Rorschach Tests."

But I am also known for overthinking things.

Angela is 65% done with Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas
Little did I know I'd be getting a discussion of ancient domesticated canine genetics along with the human genetic history. This whole book is fascinating.

Angela
Angela is on page 95 of 235 of Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks
I wanted something charming and light to read while going through a 2nd round of Covid and isolating in an upstairs bedroom to keep from infecting my spouse. This absolutely fills the bill. I am utterly delighted by Cole and Malik and the whole Rainbow Club.

Not six pages in and I'm already annoyed at the main character's voice. I'm out.

Not in the right frame of mind for this one right now. Calling it quits here and returning to the library. I'll come back to it someday.

Grampa was an ornery ol' cuss. Reminded me somewhat of my maternal grandfather.

"And I Have Come Upon This Place By Lost Ways," published 1972, reminds us automation is no substitute for feet on the ground.

"The Man Who Walked Home," published 1972. Nifty intersection between post-apocalypse civ and the cause of the apocalypse.

"The Girl Who Was Plugged In," published 1973. Four stories into this collection and I'm convinced Tiptree had precognition. Social media influencers perfectly described some 30 years before the existence of social media.

"And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side," published 1972. I had to read this one a couple of times before the meaning sank in. Bleak. And somewhat prescient re: infotainment.
