-      <li>Tod in Venedig, Thomas Mann</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        at the start the style of writing was preventing me from getting into
-        the story fully, as i was reading i got used to it and by the end found
-        myself quite enjoying it. apart from the style i find nothing
-        particularly special about it. the conclusion is quite unexpected
-        though. i found the epilog by terence james reed contextualised the
-        writing of the book in thomas manns life really useful.
-      </blockquote>
-    </ul>
-    <h2 id="oct25">october</h2>
-    <ul>
-      <li>The Burning Shore, Wilbur Smith</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        while it kept me awake until 3am for 3 days i really disliked the
-        tonal shift between the second and third acts. how can he portray the
-        lifestyle of the san the way he does and then have centaine tear up
-        their sacred place of ancestor worship for diamonds. then the in-world
-        justification, that it will provide "good water" for her son. to me is
-        just blatant sugarcoating of an act that clearly violates the memory
-        and principles of the people she has her life to thank for. though she
-        had already all but forgotten them, when it was time for the story to
-        move on from including o'wa and h'ani.
-        <br>
-        another gripe with the writing i've had is the way the female lead is
-        written. it is so obvious, that the author is a man of the last
-        century... centaine in both instances immediately falls for the male,
-        that is so clearly set up to be her love-interest.
-        <br>
-        The book
-        <i>is</i>
-        from 1985, that might put some of this into perspective.
-      </blockquote>

-    <h2 id="sep25">september</h2>
-    <ul>
-      <li>The Passage, Justin Cronin</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        i can't quite remember where i even found this book. specifically the
-        part after the timeskip pulled me in and i just needed to know what
-        happens next. the book sets up a series and i am quite curious what
-        else they are going to do with the characters - i am personally happy
-        with what they did and wouldn't
-        <i>need</i>
-        more.
-        <br>
-        one small detail from the epilog i like is that apparently he co-wrote
-        the concept for the book together with his daughter.
-      </blockquote>
-    </ul>
-    <h2 id="aug25">august</h2>
-    <ul>
-      <li>Abroad in Japan, Chris Broad</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        after reading the first half, i would already recommend this
-        book. even without any context on the author or japan, this has
-        some really funny stories. i also like how i can almost hear
-        chris' voice in the writing.
-      </blockquote>
-      <li>The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        this one took a while. started reading pretty much right after
-        Native Tongue at the end of march. the book works well for piece
-        meal reading, since it's a collection of stories set in a
-        shared world. my favorites were the one where 'and the moon be
-        still as bright' and 'the million year picnic'.
-        overall i think i prefer this over fahrenheit if i had to
-        recommend one. this one executes the almost educational tone
-        better while telling actually great scifi stories, which often
-        left me thinking about them later.
-      </blockquote>
-    </ul>
-    <h2 id="mar25">march</h2>
-    <ul>
-      <li>Native Tongue, Suzette Haden Elgin</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        read most of this in two long sessions while we were in
-        turkey. after a bit of a slow start i liked the spin on
-        "dystopian future-not-future society"; the world building
-        is reminiscent of handmaid's tale, but i felt like there
-        was more exploration of the inner workings of
-        <i>why</i>
-        society is that way; the feminist context shines through
-        especially towards the end, when the plot only works because the
-        men are all arrogant assholes, which was satisfying but a
-        bit one-dimensional.
-      </blockquote>
-    </ul>
-    <h2 id="feb25">february</h2>
-    <p class="notice">
-      started reading a weekly newspaper which had quite the
-      impact on my reading time. i have a test subscription for

-      reading out...

-    <ul>
-      <li>Record of a Night too brief, Hiromi Kawakami</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        the first half consists of surreal dreamlike short stories
-        that only refer to their protagonists as 'me' and 'the
-        girl'. second half is two longer stories. i enjoyed
-        interpreting what everything might mean, but wasn't
-        particularly drawn to the book because of the episodic
-        nature at the start. read the second half in one afternoon.

-      <blockquote>
-        had I not read Ready Player One and Neuromancer before,
-        this would surely have left a better impression.
-        the part about the sumarian virus is creative but feels

-      <blockquote>
-        read this while in iceland. basically a family history
-        focused on the women. i had no background on oman's
-        history or society. super interesting from that angle.
-        sometimes a bit slow and confusing, since it's jumping

-      </blockquote>
-      <li>Snow Country, Kawabata Yasunari</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        i am a sucker for japanese novels and their erie vibe.
-        this one has it too. so many small details that feel
-        meaningless on the surface but add some much to the
-        experience of the book.

-        somehow i fell down the rabbithole (lol) of rek &
-        devine's world this month. their log is fascinating and
-        inspiring. much of their stuff makes you want to set
-        out to sail yourself, and much of this book does too,
-        but then there is also details (like the wave incident)

-      <blockquote>
-        the story was mildly scary but entertaining. he kind of
-        overused "scary" adjective-noun pairs: cosmic fear,
-        blasphemous mountains. i don't understand how the pov
-        character thinks his report will hold back further
-        exploration of that region of antarctica. i would actually
-        expect it to inspire more attention.
-      </blockquote>
-      <li>Only Human (Themis Files #3), Sylvain Neuvel</li>
-      <blockquote>
-        i did not like this compared to the other two entries
-        to the series. mostly takes place on the world of the

+      <blockquote>
+        while it kept me awake until 3am for 3 days i really disliked the
+        tonal shift between the second and third acts. how can he portray the
+        lifestyle of the san the way he does and then have centaine tear up
+        their sacred place of ancestor worship for diamonds. then the in-world
+        justification, that it will provide "good water" for her son. to me is
+        just blatant sugarcoating of an act that clearly violates the memory
+        and principles of the people she has her life to thank for. though she
+        had already all but forgotten them, when it was time for the story to
+        move on from including o'wa and h'ani.
+        <br>
+        another gripe with the writing i've had is the way the female lead is
+        written. it is so obvious, that the author is a man of the last
+        century... centaine in both instances immediately falls for the male,
+        that is so clearly set up to be her love-interest.
+        <br>
+        The book
+        <i>is</i>
+        from 1985, that might put some of this into perspective.

+        happens next. the book sets up a series and i am quite curious what

+        <i>need</i>
+        more.
+        <br>

+        book. even without any context on the author or japan, this has
+        some really funny stories. i also like how i can almost hear
+        chris' voice in the writing.
+      </blockquote>
+      <li>The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury</li>
+      <blockquote>
+        this one took a while. started reading pretty much right after
+        Native Tongue at the end of march. the book works well for piece
+        meal reading, since it's a collection of stories set in a
+        shared world. my favorites were the one where 'and the moon be
+        still as bright' and 'the million year picnic'.
+        overall i think i prefer this over fahrenheit if i had to
+        recommend one. this one executes the almost educational tone
+        better while telling actually great scifi stories, which often
+        left me thinking about them later.

+        read most of this in two long sessions while we were in
+        turkey. after a bit of a slow start i liked the spin on
+        "dystopian future-not-future society"; the world building
+        is reminiscent of handmaid's tale, but i felt like there
+        was more exploration of the inner workings of
+        <i>why</i>
+        society is that way; the feminist context shines through
+        especially towards the end, when the plot only works because the
+        men are all arrogant assholes, which was satisfying but a

+        at the start the style of writing was preventing me from getting into

+        myself quite enjoying it. apart from the style i find nothing
+        particularly special about it. the conclusion is quite unexpected
+        though. i found the epilog by terence james reed contextualised the
+        writing of the book in thomas manns life really useful.

+      <blockquote>
+        while it kept me awake until 3am for 3 days i really disliked the
+        tonal shift between the second and third acts. how can he portray the
+        lifestyle of the san the way he does and then have centaine tear up
+        their sacred place of ancestor worship for diamonds. then the in-world
+        justification, that it will provide "good water" for her son. to me is
+        just blatant sugarcoating of an act that clearly violates the memory
+        and principles of the people she has her life to thank for. though she
+        had already all but forgotten them, when it was time for the story to
+        move on from including o'wa and h'ani.
+        <br>
+        another gripe with the writing i've had is the way the female lead is
+        written. it is so obvious, that the author is a man of the last
+        century... centaine in both instances immediately falls for the male,
+        that is so clearly set up to be her love-interest.
+        <br>
+        The book
+        <i>is</i>
+        from 1985, that might put some of this into perspective.
