december

  • Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson - +
    + 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 + forced at the end when it is used to resolve + everything. +

november

  • Celestial Bodies, Jokha Alharthi - +
    + 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 + around the timeline. +
  • Snow Country, Kawabata Yasunari - +
    + 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. +

october

  • Busy Doing Nothing, Rek Bellum & Devine Lu Linvega - +
    + 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) + that make you say: hell no. +

august

  • DROPPED Illuminatus! Part 1: The Eye in the Pyramid, Robert Shea - +
    + I did not like the meandering writing and whacky + storylines that kept looping back onto each other. +

    + i did not like this compared to the other two entries + to the series. mostly takes place on the world of the + creators of the "mechs". the style feels off compared + to the first novel when we were seeing the story evolve + through the eyes of the unnamed character. +

    + i admit, i probably started this out of nostalgia after + coming back from japan. it's a cute little story that + nicely shows how weird japanese society can be. +
