The intrigue for me is in society meeting the wild - guns meeting bow and arrow. In a 19th century city you can visit a hospital - out in the desert you’re dead.

luke viia Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) it's the top of spooky season imo and this has been pretty good. just got through an excerpt of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Ethan Brand" which was pretty dang great this Blair anthology is in chronological order so it's getting spookier as it goes but so far I'm loving it Edited August 19, 2023 by luke viia 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Ostanek Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Been on a Le Carre roll the last few months, started with the Smiley classics and branching out most recently to the Night Manager. One of those authors who I really wish I'd paid more attention to while they were still alive edit: The ending to Our Kind of Traitor is very apt this week Edited August 25, 2023 by Walter Ostanek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chim Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The embossed cloth on Moby Dick is really something else. Really happy to see SPQR has that many pages and loads of illustrations as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the Austen series and The Ring of the Nibelung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested in how mathematics can model our reality, but knowing there are actual limits to it and our understanding of the world philosophically, then this is a Beautiful work.

Awesome! It is indeed wonderful. And don't worry, that math here isn't really that complex and something with a basic tutorial on the matter would do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scanned through the book yesterday and I already found some very insightful passages and chapters. The math is just enough to take it seriously and delve into it. 10 hours ago, luke viia said: I would also recommend James Gleick's book "Chaos", one of the only non-fiction books I enjoyed enough to read more than once Great! Thanks for the recommendation. I guess this winter is going to be chaos themed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQQ Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I borrowed Jenny Hval's Paradise Rot from a friend and finished it in a few days. I enjoyed it more than Girl's Against God, I think she does better writing a more straightforward narrative. Wasn't expecting the body horror towards the end – that was interesting. Started to re-read William Burrough's Junky for the 3rd or 4th time, and also have PKD's The Galactic Pot Healer set aside for a re-read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
