Moral of the book: Eating people is a sign something is wrong with you. Also, bees. It's about time someone said it. Don't know why, but this one gave me inklings of Michael Moorcock in style. Very cool read from @caitlinstarling.com.

Yes! A new Adrian Tchaikovsky book! I better finish my current Adrian Tchaikovsky book and remember to pre-order that one book from Adrian Tchaikovsky.

@aptshadow.bsky.social, take a day off, dude. You're making us all look bad.

I think the hardest type of book to write is one headed to a specific destination. So, if anyone is going to do hell, it needed to be @rfkuang.bsky.social. I'm a peasant and my education was dogshit, so I don't get all the Cambridge particulars, but loved it. www.amazon.com/Katabasis-No...

No one told me that @tkingfisher.com did another Sworn Soldier book, this time in my home state of West Virginia. I goddamn love these books and I'll buy every single one until one of us is dead, and I hope I go first because Pratchett really screwed me on that. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Attention, Pierce Brown has an Ice Cube in 'Friday' joke in the third book of the Red Rising series. That is all.

Sometimes sentences punch you in the gut for no reason. "She sang a song with no words to herself as she dug a hole." Bleak but beautiful sci-fi from Nnedi Okorafor.

I made a banjo, despite not having any power tools, or knowing anything about hand tools, or knowing...how to make a banjo.

Smart to not have more social media. We're good. It was pretty wobbly there for a bit. Traffic is pandemonium and people are sleeping in the park but our house is fine. A nearby car is on fire, but I'm not sure if that's quake related or just Bangkok being eccentric. Good to hear from you, boss.

None of you told me about Michael Moorcock. Hm? Do you feel good about that? A story about Lucifer sending a damned 16th century soldier to find the Holy Grail who ends up learning humanist morals? Didn't think I needed to know? Hm? Nothing to say for yourself? Just going to sit there? Fine.

The first was hard sci-fi spiders, the second a zombie space horror with octopuses, and this one's a bleak interplanetary fairy tale with birds. I'm guessing the next one is time traveling noir thriller with capybaras.

Way to keep it fresh @aptshadow.bsky.social.

The Blade Itself (The First Law Trilogy Book 1) Amazon.com: The Blade Itself (The First Law Trilogy Book 1) eBook : Abercrombie, Joe: Kindle Store

Well, I didn't know my whole outlook on life was a literary genre called grimdark. Now I have to read the rest of them. Way to ruin my reading list, @joeabercrombie.com, you jerk.

Now, my back hurts so I'm going to go torture someone.

Hot damn. I don't think I've ever read a book that understands hate so well - proper hate. Not internet hate. Real hate. Remember kids, pacifism kills. Not sure if that's the moral, but I'm angry these days. Props to @premeemohamed.com for another banger.

Robots up the holler. This new book from @erinkwagner.bsky.social is an important reminder that science and the future happen everwhere. As someone from West Virginia whose kin was killed by a chemical company, I can tell you for certain it matters.

An absolutely huge piece from @dialogueearth.bsky.social spanning three countries from the inimitable Anton Delgado, who had a hell of a time while this was going on. This one is worth your time, following plastic from the foothills of the Himalayas to the sea. dialogue.earth/en/pollution...
