I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up. this will probably take me all year to finish

Dropping everything in my life til I finish the broken earth trilogy

also being slow on this one since I don't have a writing group to pressure me to write and self-pressure to write is at a low degree for the moment lol

this is my book for reading in airports or in cars, since travel is magic

"yuppie deli-map consciousness" is a new term I'm adopting, thanks Mike Davis

this will only take me a million more years

*fun fact* all the little fishies in the rivers are morphing into ladies b/c of all the estrogen getting dumped in our sewage from birth control & other pharmaceuticals. THAT SHIT IS CRAZY. I did not know that, thanks Mc Cool. So far this book is pretty cool.

I'm sluggishly making my way through this, but not due to lack of interest. Miéville has permeated my dream world with the aura of New Crobuzon, constructs haunting me and all. Although I don't think this captured me as much as the only other two books I've read by him, I'm excited to finish this, sometime. Aaaah, the busy life.
