    I enjoyed it but I wasn't blown away by it, it wasn't a "can't put it down" book for me. I think it gets better but idk lol

      This year I seem to have mostly read novels I was recommended in the process of chatting up other leftists: Perdido Street Station, Journey to the End of the Night, & How the Steel Was Tempered

      I tried to reread Use of Weapons then Excession and was horrified to discover I now find Iain M. Banks annoying???

      Read Hyperion and the anthology Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang because I heard it had a good short story which was mangled into the script for Arrival then went back and skimmed fucking uhhh Forever War by Joe Haldeman again because it's sort of historically significant as Vietnam War brainrot fiction. Briefly looked at Stranger in a Strange Land for the same reason. Tried to read Man in the High Castle but I just was not in the mood. I should probably pick back up on the scifi???

        I think I also read Stories of your life and others... it is on my shelf at least

        I honestly can't remember. My memory is shit for things like that.
