Getting there.

Criticism is an art form.

Just when I think I'm rid of Calvino obsession after hating the last two of his I read, he pulls me back in with this! Aaargh!!!!

Fuck this is good.

IT'S SPOOKTOBER

Absolutely pumped to take a year to read this.

Stoicism is really introverted maybe yes huh?

I'm starting to see the word substrate in my dreams.

Maaaaan I've missed this setting.

Wherein an AI nation loves a human author but only buy 1 copy of his latest book because they pirate all media.

Not a Dr Who episode.

Still not sure if it helped or hindered that I saw the Gary Oldman film first.

Hang on this is nothing like Spy Family

Le Guin? More like LE BOMB

"Three Worms Night:A belief going back to Taoism, that at a certain conjunction in the calendar(the coincidence of the Elder Metal with the Monkey sign, or koshin)the three worms that dwell in the body and know our secret sins will ascend to heaven and reveal them while we sleep, thereby shortening our life. To prevent this, people spent the night keeping themselves awake with entertainments such as games and poetry"

Enjoying this more than expected. Actually quite heavy.
